SectionB	Structure Governance and Management
Description of the Charity’s
Trusts
Type of Governing Document	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
How is the Charity constituted	The Group Is a trust established under its rules which are common to all scouts
Trustee Selection Methods	The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and
	Rules of the Scout Association
Additional Governance Issues	The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee, the members of
	which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout Group, which is itself 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 the Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the
	Group Scout Leader, individual section leaders and parents’ representation. The
	committee meets every two months.
	This Group Executive Committee exists to support die Group Scout Leader in
	meeting the responsibilities of the Group 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-committee that may be required
	Appointing Group administrators and advisors other than those who are elected
Risk and Internal Controls	The Group Executive Committee has identified major risks to which they believe
	the Group is exposed. These have been reviewed and systems have been
	established to mitigate against diem. 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 and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as
	the church, community centre and other Scout Groups. 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 die 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 fond raising. The Group does hold a reserve
	to ensure die continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in
	income. The Committee could raise the value of subscriptions toincrease
	the income to the Group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or
	permanendy.
	• 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
	numbers 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 whole Group would have
	to close.
	• 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 whole
	Group would have to close.
	• Financial Mismanagement The Group hasin place systems of internal
	controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
	mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments.

Summary of the main	The Aim of the Scout Association is to promote the development of young
activities in relation to these	people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential
objectives	as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national
	and international communities. The method of achieving the aim of die
	Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive
	training, based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.
	Subscriptions are charged for membership to cover immediate running costs of
	the Group and these do not unduly restrict membership. The Group follows the
	principle that no one should be excluded because of their inability to pay
	membership subscriptions.
	Two key principles demonstrate that Scouting’s aims are for the public benefit
	These are that through the Scout method young people develop towards their
	full potential and that there is a clear link between foe benefits for young people
	and foe purpose of Scouting. The safety of young people is taken very seriously
	and foe benefits Scouting activities provides for outweigh foe risks. Any private
	benefits from Scouting are incidental, other than to those as a beneficiary.

Brief Statement on the	The Group’s policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue foe
charity’s policy on reserves	charitable activities of foe Group should income and fund raising fall short.
Further financial review details	The Group’s income and expenditure overall is small and as a consequence foe
	Group does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments. The
	Group therefore adopts a low risk strategy with all funds held in cash using only
	mainstream banks or foe Charities Official Investment Funds.
