Section B Structure, Governance and Management
Trustee
selection
method		 The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and
Rules of the Scout Association.
Group Executive
Committee		 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.
The Committee consists of 3 independent representatives, Chair, Treasurer
and Secretary together with the Group Scout Leaders, individual Section
Leaders and Parent representatives and meets every 4 months.
The Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in
meeting the responsibilities of the appointments and is responsible for:
a) The maintenance of the Group property;
b) The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance;
c) The insurance of persons, property and equipment;
d) Group public occasions;
e) Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support;
f) Appointing any new sub-committees that may be required;
g) Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are
elected.
Risk and Internal
Control		 The Group Executive 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 reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations.
The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in 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 appropriate activities.
Additional personal insurance is provided for warranted leaders.
Reduced income from fund raising.
The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions. After fifteen
years of operation the Group has allocated monies in reserve to help ensure
the continuity of activities should there by a major reduction in income. The
Committee could, if necessary, 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 14. If there was a
reduction in membership 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.		 The Group Executive has identified the major risks to which they believe the

Section C Objectives and Activities
Objectives of the
charity		 The objectives of the Group are as a unit of the Scout Association.
The Aim of the Association is to promote the development of young people in
achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as
individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local national and
international communities.
The method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an
enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout
Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.
Summary of
activities		 Refer to the Group Scout Leader and Section Leader reports.
Section D Achievements and Performance
Main
Achievements		 The year was dominated by the effects of Covid19 and resulting lockdowns.
The Group briefly operated a heavily conditioned service for only several weeks
over the year as it complied with the country-wide restrictions.
The Scout hut was prepared to comply with the requirements of social
distancing and remaining safe, however, those meetings that did take place
were held outside the facility.
Lockdows have to led to a reduction in the number of young scouts (from 98
registered at April 20 to 64 in April 21) and worryingly we have lost 3 uniformed
leaders and are also seeking a replacement GSL.
Prioirities are to get the group up and running in accordance with restictions
being lifted and the recruitment of a new GSL and uniformed leaders.
Financially the Group has done surprisingly well over the period; even though
the Group didn’t really function we did receive £4,000 of subscriptions from
generous parents/guardians, the Group also benefitted from Government
grants via the local Council.		 Lockdows have to led to a reduction in the number of young scouts (from 98

Section E Financial Review
Reserves Policy The Group's target for reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the
charitable activities of the Group should income and fund-raising activities fall
short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a
minimum sum equivalent to 12 months running costs c. £4,000.
Group reserves have remained at £44,000 at the end of this year; the reserves
fund remains primarily earmarked towards an extension to the premises at
some point in the future to further enhance provision of Scouting in Fillongley.
Investment
Policy		 The Group does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments.
The Group has, therefore, adopted a risk adverse strategy to the investment of
its funds. All funds are held in cash using only a mainstream bank and building
society.
Section F Optional Information
Plans for future
activities		 The main priorities for the Group are to recruit a new GSL and uniformed
leaders as soon as possible. The minimum requirement is to ensure we
maintain the correct leader & helper ratios in each section and at the same time
add fresh ideas and energy wherever possible.
We also want to re-engage the young Scouts who have missed-out during the
last year and provide them with a full and varied package of activities, skills and
camps.
Seeking new members to join and support the Group Executive committee is
an ongoing objective.
The group will continue with its ambition for improvements to the hut
infrastructure and the associated raising of capital to bring the ambition to
fruition.
