|---|---|
| The Danemead Scout Campsite Trustee Board has been constituted to effectively, expeditiously and efficiently administer and manage the land and buildings specified within the Danemead Trust Deed (dated 1st September 1971 and subsequent amendments) or otherwise known to comprise “Danemead” (the asset) on behalf of four District Scout Councils, or their successors, being (1) Barnet District Scout Council, (2) Waltham Forest District Scout Council, (3) Enfield District Scout Council and (4) North London District Scout Council who own the land in equal shares and are the “Owning Districts”. |
|
| The Danemead Scout Campsite Trustee Board shall comprise of up to ten Trustees who shall be the only voting members. Each Owning District shall appoint one Trustee [= 4 Trustees]. Nomination of these Trustees shall be received by the Secretary fourteen days prior to the Annual General Meeting.

requests shall not be unreasonably refused. If the nominated Trustee is unable to attend a meeting then the Owning District has the right to send a representative. The representative will not have voting rights.
The Owning Districts shall jointly approve the appointment of the Campsite Manager (a Trustee) [= 5th Trustee] who shall be a member of The Scout Association through one of the Owning Districts.
The Campsite Manager shall nominate the Chairman (a Trustee) at the Annual General Meeting [= 6th Trustee] This appointment must be approved at the Annual General Meeting. The Chairman shall be a member of the Scout Association through one of the Owning Districts.

Additional governance issues (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:
-
policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
-
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
-
relationship with any related parties;
-
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
The Danemead Scout Campsite Trustee Board shall operate in accordance with The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association (as amended from time to time). The Danemead Scout Campsite Trustee Board has identified the major risks to which they believe the campsite is exposed. These have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern are: Damage to Hornbeam Lodge, the toilet block, office, workshop and volunteer accommodation. All buildings are fully insured against partial or complete loss. Damage to property and equipment including the site vehicle. The campsite has sufficient insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. Injury to campsite visitors. The campsite has adequate public liability insurance provided through Unity Scout Insurance Services and all volunteers are members of the Scout Association and as such they are covered under insurance provided by Unity Scout Insurance Services. Risk assessments are undertaken before all activities. Reduced income from fund raising. The campsite is primarily reliant upon income from camping fees and indoor accommodation hire. The campsite holds a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities, should there be a
March 2012

3
major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the cost of camping and hire fees to increase the income of the campsite on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss of volunteers. The campsite is totally reliant on volunteers to run and administer the activities of the campsite. If there was a reduction in the number of volunteers to an unacceptable level there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of the site until more volunteers could be recruited.
Financial irregularity. The Chairman and Campsite Manager has drawn the attention of all Wardens, Crew and Committee Officers to the Scout Association’s Financial Guidance and the advice to keep income separate from expenditure. The Campsite Manager and Deputy Campsite Manager are both offered a float for their expenses so that income can be banked gross.
Section C Objectives and activities
Aims & Objectives of Danemead Management Committee
The Danemead Scout Campsite Trustee Board shall: Maintain, develop and improve the asset land and any building originally or thereafter permitted to be placed there. Maximise the use to which the asset can be placed, within its accepted Summary of the objects of the primary purpose of camping, outdoor education and recreation for charity set out in its Scouting, to which priority shall be given, and any other youth governing document organisations. Retain and preserve all associated rights, easements or other chattels appertaining to the asset on behalf of the Danemead Trust.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
During the previous year (2023/24) the site saw a total income from all users of £62,420. In the last year (2024/25) total income from all users was £68,771.66.
When compared to the previous year there are several points which should be highlighted:
-
Camp fees from Scouts and Guides fell very slightly during 2024/25 (£10,180 against £10,988) whilst this was offset by a considerable increase in the use of the site for camping by other organisations, mainly school & cadet Dof E expeditions (£11,159 against £7,114). However, due to the scaled tariffs, Scouting and Guiding still account for the majority use of the site.
-
The usage of Hornbeam Lodge by Scouts & Guides dropped again and particular note is a drop of 56% by the four owner Scout Districts whilst use by other Scout and Guide Groups was about the same as the previous year. Use by non-Scout and Guide organisations showed a very significant increase of over 240%.
-
Day visit numbers increased by over 100%.
-
An increase in monthly fees charged to the day nursery resulted in a 30% increase in income from this source.
In summary, income from across all use of the site by both Scouts and other users increased by £5,851 (11%).
This clearly illustrates that all the hard work of the site crew and management team continues to pay dividends.
Providore income was just over £3,240 which was similar to the previous year realising a profit just over £1,773.
Despite a four-fold increase on site maintenance during the year 2024/25 compared to the previous year, total site expenditure was down considerably from £74,456 in 2023/24 to just £59,762 in 2024/25. This demonstrates that whilst we continue to add improvements to the site the general day to day running costs are well managed.
With a national increase in utility costs there was obviously a knock-on effect with the cost of gas and electricity consumed by the campsite. There was a 50% (£1,891) increase in electricity charges, which was mitigated to some extent by switching to a cheaper tariff as well as the use of remote systems to control the site lighting. With the installation of bulk gas storage and better control of Hornbeam Lodge heating via “hive” the actual cost of gas used was consistent with the previous year so accounting for increase in gas tariff the actual gas consumption fell despite an increase in the unit cost. This clearly indicates that the site management team consciously worked hard to keep costs down in a challenging global climate.

Section D Achievements and performance
Weekly contract cleaning costs increased in line with inflation.
The site did not run any major events in 2024/25.
Good working relationships continue with external organisations, East Hertfordshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England, and the Forestry Commission.
Working parties and crew weekends have continued to improve the site including the removal of holly and non-natural species of trees, the removal of diseased trees, trees overhanging buildings and windblown trees. New camping areas continue to be established.
Listening to feedback from Camping Groups a new facility was added to allow Dof E groups in particular, an area to wash plates and cooking equipment and this has been very warmly welcomed and is a factor in the increased use of the site by DofE Groups.
Further improvements were made to the male and female toilet blocks and Hornbeam lodge was decorated over the Christmas/New Year period.

Section E Financial review
The charity aims to hold a sum not less than £5,000 in the main Co- Brief statement of the operative Bank current account to meet the cost of day to day running charity’s policy on reserves costs. On 31[st] March 2025 the sum was £29,576.14 (of which £19,000 was designated funding). The second Co-operative Bank account specifically to meet any costs relating to the water supply plant and infrastructure stood at £1,749.56 on 31[st] March 2025.
The Campsite Manager holds a £500 float and the Deputy Campsite Manager holds a £200 float to cover general running expenses and a £100 float is retained in the Providore.
This gives a total cash reserve of £32,125.70 (of which £20,749.56 is designated for specific projects leaving £11,376.14)

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Danemead Scout Campsite (Charity number: 1069693)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Danemead Scout Campsite for the year ended 31[st] March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report: As the charity trustees of Danemead Scout Campsite, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of Danemead Scout Campsite accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement: I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of Danemead Scout Campsite as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with those accounting records.; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content as set out in the Charities (Accounts & Reports) Regulations 2008.
I would however draw the committee’s attention to the following points :
-
Consideration to a travel policy for fuel
-
The Providor net profit is only an estimate as the stock take is taken on RRP but the stock purchased is on cost value.
-
If the gross income exceeds £100k the trustees will need to appoint a Independent Examiner.

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Danemead Scout Campsite (Charity number: 1069693)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Danemead Scout Campsite for the year ended 31[st] March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report: As the charity trustees of Danemead Scout Campsite, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of Danemead Scout Campsite accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement: I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of Danemead Scout Campsite as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with those accounting records.; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content as set out in the Charities (Accounts & Reports) Regulations 2008.
I would however draw the committee’s attention to the following points :
-
Consideration to a travel policy for fuel
-
The Providor net profit is only an estimate as the stock take is taken on RRP but the stock purchased is on cost value.
-
If the gross income exceeds £100k the trustees will need to appoint a Independent Examiner.
