**governing document**|The objectives of the charity are as a part of the Scout Association.
**The Purpose of Scouting**
Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal
development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
**The Values of Scouting**
As Scouts we are guided by these values
**Integrity**– We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal
**Respect**– We have self-respect and respect for others
**Care**– We support others and take care of the world in which we live
**Belief -**We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes
**Co-operation**– We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others
and make friends
**The Scout Method**
Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work
together based on the values of scouting and:
- enjoy what they are doing and have fun
- take part in activities indoors and outdoors
- learn by doing
- take responsibility and make choices
- undertake new and challenging activities
- make and live by their promise
- gain skills for life| |---|---| |**Summary of the main activities in**
**relation to these objects**|The County’s main function is to support the seven Districts in achieving the
strategic objectives of the Scout Association based on growth, inclusivity,
community impact, youth-shaped Scouting and quality programme. As a
County, the main activities during the last twelve months have been:
1.
Providing management, leadership, governance and support, in
partnership with the Headquarters and South West Region Growth
and Communities Teams in ensuring Scouting continued to grow
throughout the County.The 2024 census saw a 4% increase (231)
giving a total of 6,045 in 4-18 year old youth members, and a 4%
increase (70) giving a total 1,960 in adult volunteers compared to
last year’s census outcome.
2.
Supporting the development and delivery of quality programmes
and activities to young people across the County and in the Districts
and their Groups, including by the provision of dedicated
development and programme support. This support is aimed at
increasing the number of adult volunteers, reducing waiting lists to
join, growing small Groups, introducing Sections to those Groups
that do not have a full complement of Sections and reaching into
areas where there is limited or no Scouting provision at present.
3.
Providing County-wide events for all those involved in Scouting,
including activity days / County competitions for Squirrels, Beavers,
Cubs and Scouts.
4.
Running a twice yearly, combined face-to-face and online tutor-led
modular based Section Leader, Manager and Supporter training
programme for all adult members. Providing on-going bespoke
online training and personalised support for County, District and
Group Trustee Boards and their Sub-Committees.
5.
Providing active County-wide support for the Scout Association
transformational changes that are being implemented though 2024
and 2025.

both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or
community development headings.| |---|---| ## **B. Achievements and performance** |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|The County Scout Centre continues to be used for adult training weekends,
County Trustee Board meetings, Section based activities and large scale,
whole County events. It has also soon the continued use by external
agencies.
International Scouting events have now fully returned including a World
Scout Jamboree to South Korea in July 2023, European skiing expeditions
in Italy and Andorra and numerous nights’ away experiences both within the
County and at campsites and venues outside of the County. In addition to
this, the County Activities Team held their Mid-Winter Expedition between
Christmas and the New Year at Ingleton, North Yorkshire.
Training for Adult Leaders, Managers and Supporters has been and
continues to be successfully delivered using a combination of both face to
face and online delivered training session by members of the County Adult
Training Team and locally, within Districts, by suitably qualified and
experienced leaders. This training has included mandatory ongoing learning
for example, safety, safeguarding, GDPR, Trustee Introductory and First Aid
training. County led face to face training has predominantly taken place at
Wiltshire Scout Centre. As a result of the additional mandatory training and
support offered, the number of those outstanding in safety and safeguarding
training has significantly reduced to below the HQ directed maximum of 5%
of membership and is currently just 1% of the total adult membership for the
County, with a number of Districts reporting 0%, ensuring that our
membership remains compliant with our Policy, Organisation, Rules and
central directives.
In line with our growth and development over the reporting period, our
Squirrel, Beaver, Cub, Scout, Explorer and Network members from all seven
Districts continue to deliver exciting and fun-packed quality programmes and
therefore meeting our skills for life objectives, including taking part in The
Scout Association’s national activities and events.
The focus continues to be on recruiting, inducting, training and retaining
young people and adult volunteers that will enable those young people
currently on waiting lists join Scouting and learn valuable skills for life. In
support of this, the County has recruited two Local Growth Assistants and a
Local Growth officer, managed by the County Growth Lead and officers of
the HQ Local Growth and Communities Team, who will work on specified
projects across all areas of the County to ensure that we continue to grow as
a youth organisation in Wiltshire.| |---|---| |**C.**
**Finance review**|| |---|---| |**Policy on Reserves**|The total funds are £800,100 of which £96,220 are restricted for specific
purposes, including for legacies gifted. Of the total funds, £507,897 are held
as fixed assets (including the Wiltshire Scout Centre). At 31st March 2024
the charity had net unrestricted current assets of £203,943, which includes
deferred and amounts received in advance for future events.
The County’s policy on reserves has been to hold the equivalent of a year’s
lettings plus a fund for redecorating the centre every four years and to be
able to continue with our development work on growing the movement. This
equates to £30,000. Any additional funds will be to develop the activities
offering made available at the centre and to support development and
Scouting across the County, including supporting Districts and Groups facing
financial difficulties, and also to support the return to Scouting.| **- 3 -** ## **Wiltshire Scout Council Trustee Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** |**Further financial review details**|The County does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term
investments. The County has therefore adopted a risk averse strategy to the
investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream
banks or building societies| |---|---| |**Finance review**|The Total income for the year was £218,496 (2023 £103,132) and the total
expenditure £285,653 (2023 £118,408) The increase in income and costs
reflects the relative timing of membership levy, receipts and payments in
respect of the 2023 World Scout Jamboree, and the return to full scouting

£338,258).| ## **D. Structure, governance and management** |**Type of governing document**|The County’s governing documents are those of The Scout Association.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## James Gare FCA DChA Monahans Chartered Accountants Hermes House Fire Fly Avenue Swindon Wiltshire SN2 2GA Date: 28 June 2024. - 7 - **Wiltshire Scout Council** ## **Statement of Financial Activities** ## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** |Unrestricted

Chair of Trustees – J Purkis **- 9 -** The notes form part of these financial statements **Wiltshire Scout Council** **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The charity has taken exemption from preparing a cash flow statement under the charities SORP as it constitutes a small charity. The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound. There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to be a going concern. The Charity is an unincorporated trust. The charity's governing documents are those of The Scout Association and consist of a Royal Charter. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions collected on behalf of other parts of the Scout Movement are reported in the SoFA net of any amount paid out. This is because these subscriptions are in affect held as agents before being paid out. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Tax reclaim on donations and gifts Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. Donated services and facilities are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable, and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable ## **Expenditure** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. **- 10 -** continued... **Wiltshire Scout Council** **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** ## **Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £50. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Buildings - 2% on a straight-line basis Equipment - 10%-20% at different rates on a straight-line basis. ## **Stocks** Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **Creditors** Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due. ## **Cash at bank and cash in hand** Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts. ## **Financial Risk Management** The Charity has minimal exposure to customer credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Please refer to the risk section of the trustee's annual report for information on how risks are managed. The charity does not have any non-basic financial instruments ## **2.
