TRUSTEE’S REPORT 2021-22

1st Bingley Scout Group

Trustees: C. Boardman, S. Howkins, I. Mitchell, W. Oxley, D. Barwick. G. Slater, K. Hall, R. Croft Address: Headquarters Building, Sycamore Avenue, Bingley, West Yorkshire, BD16 1HD

The Purpose of Scouting

The purpose of Scouting is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

The group continues to enjoy a good membership number, with all sections reporting healthy numbers and recovering from the few losses of members as a result of the covid pandemic. The group would like to see an increase in leader numbers, for at present a number of leaders are assisting across all groups and whilst this supports members changing groups, there is a dependency on these people to support sections, nevertheless leaders still provide good quality scouting.

Overall the balance of all accounts remains in a healthy position.

Building account: : This year the building account saw a substantial increase in income from the previous year growing to £33,408.71, but not to be misled the bulk of this amount was received from Bradford Met Council, a total of £24,053.86 was received over the 12 month period. We were fortunate that every offer of funds from the council was followed up and each application was successful. We have seen all our regular users return and we are grateful for their use of the building. We also received an insurance pay out of £2,150 that has been spent on replacing the front gates following the theft of the mini bus that reversed out through locked gates. At one point through the year we had a bank balance just short of £29,000 and with this in mind the executive committee agreed that funds should be diverted towards the purchase of a new mini bus, which was purchased in December 2021, allowing us to buy a bus that would be superior to any available following the theft and for which we received a insurance payment of £6,400

Annual insurance continues to form a major part of the expenses column at £2169.14 and as we had very little in the form of subscription payments the previous year the exec allowed the group to celebrate our return to scouting by subsidising the annual St. Georges camp, the sum of £1,992 allowed us to buy in activities, which was also necessary to free up leaders to run the camp rather than just activities

In terms of equipment purchased a new gate was fitted at the side of the building as the old one crumbled away The sum carried forward into 22/23 was £18,720.86.

Group Account: The significant change to the group account was that parents were encouraged to make subscription and activity payments through the bank preferably by standing order, though not all chose this method and it falls to the treasurer to monitor payments and to chase shortfalls. Payments through the bank amounted to £9,904.14 in comparison to £1,442.75 in cash. Following a complaint to the council we eventually had to take the marquee in the car park and were able to sell this on for £1,800 against the original cost of £2,400

On the expenses front our trailer needed a complete overhaul costing £800 and in order to get better use of the trailer we paid for the fitting of tow bars to 2 vehicles. Activities within sections continued on the up this year relating to £2,500 sectional activities

Capitation remains the single biggest expense that the group has to pay but the group account was still able to carry forward £14,207.40 into the new financial year, but with a view to reducing this figure by supporting events or the purchase of new equipment as required

Mini bus account: Following the theft of the bus, early in April we received an insurance payment of £6,404 and will be taking £5,740.13 into the new financial year. We have also now obtained a debit card for the mini bus so that going forward the need to pay for fuel, etc. from another account and then to transfer funds should no longer be necessary
