Description of the charity's trusts
Type of governing document
Structure, governance and management
The Group's governing documents are those of The Scout
Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn
gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The
Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
(e.g. trust deed, constitution)
How the charity is constituted
The Group is a trust established under its rules which are
common to all Scouts.
(e.g. trust, association, company)
Trustee selection methods
(e.g. appointed by, elected by)
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice)
You may choose to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee,
the members of which are the 'Charity Trustees' of the
Scout Group which is an educational charity. As charity
trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation
applicable to charities. This includes the registration,
keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity
Commission as appropriate.
Policies and procedures adopted for:
a) the induction and training of trustees;
b) trustee' consideration of major risks
and the systems and procedures to
manage them
The Committee consists of 3 independent representatives,
Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Group
Scout Leaders, individual section leaders (if opted to take
on the responsibility) and parent's representation and meets
every 3 months.
This Group Executive Committee exists to support the
Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the
appointments and is responsible for:
The maintenance of Group property;
The raising of funds and the administration of Group
finance;
The insurance of persons, property and equipment;
Group public occasions;
Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult
support;
Appointing any sub committees that may be required;
Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than
The trustees would like to place on record their thanks to
the members of the Committee, the section leaders and all
of volunteers for their contributions throughout the year. The
Group could not operate successfully without this.

Section B
Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk and Internal Control
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major
risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these
have been reviewed and systems have been established to
mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that have
been identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The
Group would request the use of buildings, property and
equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the
church, community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar
eciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The
Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance ir
place to mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of
activities should there be a major reduction in income. The
Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to
increase the income to the group on an ongoing basis,
either temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant
upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the
group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to
an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as
a whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides
activities for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a
reduction in membership in a particular section or the grou
as whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
bank payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to
ensure that insurable risks are covered.
