by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progre&sive training, based on
the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.

A varied vrfeekly programme of activrties was provided On￿ lockdovm restrictions

Numbers in Cubs and Beaver sections are good vith waiting lists. Scout numbers
dropped due to the online nature of Covid.

Section E
Financial Review
Reserves policy
The Group's policy is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitab
activities of the Group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The
Group Executive Committee considers that the Group should hold a sum
equivalent to 6 months running costs circa £6.000.
Investments policy
The Group does not have sufficient income or funds to invest in longer tenn
investments. The Group has therefore adopted a risk adverse strategy and all
funds are held in instant access or short notice cash accounts with mainstream
banks or building societies.
Accounts
The group ended the year In a good posltlon, thanks to the fundral85ng
efforts and Grants
The accounts have been drawn up on the r￿ipts & payments basis which is
consistent with the previous year.
Sectlon F
Futuro plans and opllonal infornMtlon
