INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT To the Trustees of the 8 Christchurch IBurton} Scout Group I report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31st December, 2023 which are set out on the previous pages. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The Group's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required this year {under Section 32121 of the Charities act 1993 (the 1993 act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts (under Section 43131 (a) of the 1993 Act); Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43 (71 (b) of the 1993 Act; and State whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of examinerfs report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disc105ures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent Examinerfs statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Treasurers Report for Year End Accounts 2023
The Group continues to be in a strong position financially building on a good platform from the
Revenue
Subscription payments have been held at £10 per young person per month, offering enormous value for money for all of the activities provided for our young people. These fees are used to pay Scouting fees and provide activities for our young people. We continue to subsidise 3[rd] party activities to keep costs low for parents and guardians. We predicted a raise in Subscription payments for Sept 2023 but due to the strong position we find ourselves in, this has again been postponed. This will be reviewed during the summer with a view to a rise in Sept 2024.
Our first fundraising activity of the year was our Spring Coffee Morning, raising a wonderful £579, with a further £529 at the Autumn event. Our coffee morning continues to be very well supported by the village and we look forward to holding future events at the Scout Hut when possible.
Our annual plant sale was as always a phenomenal success, gaining our 2[nd] highest level of sales, only beaten by the Covid era. Costs have risen slightly but a huge £1727 was raised in profit to the group. We are very grateful for the support from the village and beyond, along with a recognition for the great quality of plants we are able to provide.
The 200 club continues to be supported well and we will be looking for new ways in 2024 to bring this fundraising opportunity to more people in the community.
The burger stall continues to be a our biggest fund raising revenue earner for us at a number of events including the Bransgore Fun Day, Beer Festival in September and the Bransgore fireworks in November bringing us a total of £4610 profit from these outdoor events. We are grateful to the team who make this happen for us and are always looking for more volunteers to support this amazing work.
Our annual Carnival continues to bring the village together for a day of fun on the field. This event is so rewarding as it combines efforts of so many people to bring the carnival to the village, whilst showing what a great team of young people we have at the heart of our Scout group. The support of the village is highly valued by everyone involved. The weather was again absolutely on our side as we saw yet another record revenue of £5251, translating into a fantastic profit of £2802. We continue to look for new stalls/events/ displays to bring to the carnival to ensure that we maintain this run of record breaking years that we have had over the last 5 events. We are looking forward to seeing this event develop and grow as it is central to all that we do within the community.
We also made a welcome return to bag packing at Sainsburys at Christmas. This event is wonderful as the young people can get fully involved and show the community what a great group they are. Those that attended were proud to bring in an extra £1817 in profit to the group
Activities
Each section provided a fun packed programme of activities for the young people to enjoy, involving visits off site and relevant expert visitors to the hut. Our dedicated leaders continue to review their programmes to bring our Young People different opportunities relevant to our Scouting Code. Both The Cubs and Scouts section were able to be involved in camps and we continue to look at this in 2024. We are seeing an increase in costs for all camps and activities and will continue to support our young people to access these in the most cost efficient way.
