1[st] Chigwell and Chigwell Row Scouts
Treasurers Report for Accounts 2024/2025
I present the accounts for the year ending 31[st] March 2025 for your acceptance at the AGM.
This year we saw a significant increase in overall income, rising to £26,423 from £18,747 the previous year. Although some areas such as Explorer income were slightly down, this was more than offset by strong growth in membership subscriptions and a substantial uplift in grants and donations received. Camp income also increased compared with last year, helping to support the programme delivered across the Group.
On the expenditure side, we continued to feel the impact of rising costs. Insurance for the hall increased notably, and minibus repairs and running costs were considerably higher than the previous year. We also carried out essential repairs to the hall. However, unlike last year, we did not incur the double Capitation fee, which helped to moderate the overall rise in expenditure. As always, George’s badge bill remains a healthy indicator of the young people’s achievements throughout the year!
The Group also continued to invest in new equipment, with spending on new kit significantly higher than last year. Leader training remains a priority, and while First Aid training took place during the year, further activityspecific training is already underway in the current financial year.
As a result of these combined factors, the Group recorded a deficit of £3,858, an improvement on last year’s deficit of £4,423. Despite this, the Group remains in a strong financial position, with healthy bank balances and ‑ a solid General Fund that ensures we can continue to support high quality Scouting for our young people.
