Report of the Trustees
Introduction
The Trustees present their Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.
Structure, Governance and Management
The District is part of Greater London Middlesex West Scout County and its governing documents are those of the Scout Association. They comprise a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws and the Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) of the Scout Association. The District is a Trust established under the rules that are common to all Scouts. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with POR.
The District is managed by a District Executive Committee, members of which are the Charity Trustees of the Scout District, which is an educational charity. As Charity Trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes 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 District Commissioner(s) 4 Elected, 4 Nominated Members, up to 4 Co opted and other Commissioners in accordance with Policy Organisation and Rules and meets at least twice during the financial year. Members of the Executive Committee complete Trustee Introduction e-learning within the first 5 months of joining the committee.
The District Executive Committee also exists to support the District Commissioners in meeting the responsibilities of their appointments, and is responsible for:
-
Maintaining District property
-
Raising funds and managing the District finances
-
Insuring persons, property and equipment
-
Organising District public occasions
-
Assisting in the recruitment and training of leaders and other adult support
-
Appointing any sub-committees that may be required
-
Appointing District Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected.
Risk and Internal Control
The District does not own or manage any buildings and has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against mismanagement or loss of funds. These include two signatories (or authorisers in the case of online transactions) for all payments, and a comprehensive insurance policy to ensure that insurable risks are

covered. The Trustees have formally delegated to the Finance Subcommittee responsibility for investment decisions.
Safety and Safeguarding
The Scouts have rigorous training and monitoring in all their activities.
Objectives and Activities
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
-
share in spiritual reflection
-
take responsibility and make choices
-
undertake new and challenging activities
-
make and live by their Promise.
The Aim of the District is that of the Scout Association, which is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. The method of achieving the Aim is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law, and guided by adult leadership.
Public Benefit Statement
The District meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.

Achievements and Performance
Achievements this year
The Trustees have supported the DCs and the Scout Groups in the District to provide a diverse range of Scouting activities for the young people whom they serve. Following the Covid outbreak Scouting has resumed face to face activities and we are now delivering exciting Scouting to a similar number of Young People as before the pandemic.
-
1) The Covid-19 pandemic has challenged the Scouting movement to adapt and accommodate change at an unprecedented rate. The District continues to provide and support activities and training to enable Groups to provide an exciting programme for their members. It is pleasing to report that all groups continued to operate during the Covid pandemic, some more successfully than others.
-
2) As Trustees for Explorer Scout Activities the section has been quite active during this difficult time.
-
3) The Trustees are pleased that many leaders in the District have completed their training and good progress is being made to encourage others to complete at the earliest possible opportunity. The Scouts takes training and safety very seriously and are now providing mandatory training for Trustees in the District and Groups to support Safety and Governance
-
4) Members of the District Executive have continued liaising with Hillingdon Council on financial support to Groups in the District, to help fund several Groups which are planning to replace their Scout Huts.
-
5) Other Groups are being supported in the development of plans for their property. Like all building projects they tend to take time!
-
6) As a result of our Leaders dedication and District support during lockdown, we did not lose as many members as some areas.
-
7) Four of our young people were presented their Queen Scout Awards.
