|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:|
||•<br>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.|
||•<br>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.|
||•<br>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.|
||•<br>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.|
||•<br>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.|
||•<br>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.|
