| The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee now known as the Trustee Board, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout Group which is 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 Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together, as Charity Trustees, to make sure the Scouts is run safely and legally. At the heart of their role is a focus on strategy, performance and assuarnce. The board consists of 3 independent representatives, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Deputy Group Scout Leaders, individual section leaders, fundraising, youth representatives and others nominated onto the committee for their or skills. The Trustee Board meets at least 7 times a year. In September 2023 the current Chair stood down. The Trustee Board continues to operate with this role vacant with minimal risk to the Group by utilising the Group Lead Volunteer temporarily fulfilling the Chair position. Positive campaigns to recruit a new Chair have so far failed to identify a suitable candidate but continues to be a priority for the Group. Members of the Trustee Board are elected or appointed at the Annual General Meeting of the Group Scout Council which includes all adult and associate members of the Scout Group, including parents,carers and guardians of young members, and all our Leaders. Members of the Trustee Board complete_'Essential Information for Executive Committee'_ training within the first 5 months of joining the committee. This Trustee Board exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the appointments 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 committees that may be required; Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected. |

| Section C | Objectives and activities |
| Public benefit statement Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects |
The Purpose of Scouting The objectives of the group are part of the wider Scout Association. The purpose of the Scout Movement is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potentials as individuals as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. The Values of Scouting Scouts exists to actively enagge and support young people in their personal development. They should feel empowered to make a positive contribution to society. The values provide everyone involved in Scouts with a guide for how to act: Integrity -We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. Respect -We have self-respect and respect for others. Care -We support others and take care of the world in which we live. Belief -We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. Co-operation -We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends. The Scout Method Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: - enjoy what they are doing and have fun - take part in activities indoors and outdoors - learn by doing - share in spiritual reflection - take responsibility and make choices - undertake new and challenging activities - make and live by their Promise. |
|---|---|
| All members of 1st Bradley Stoke Scout Group, whether young people or adult volunteers, make a Scout Promise in which they promise to do their best to help other people and to be trusted, loyal, friendly and considerate, to have courage in difficulty, to have self-respect and to respect others. The Group arranges a programme of weekly meetings during school term times held at a local community centre and primary school venues. Meetings provide indoor or outdoor activities and challenges for young people of all ages between six and 18 years of age: -The Beaver section is for young people between six and eight years. The Group has three colonies meeting on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. -The Cubs section is for young people between eight and 10.5 years. The Group has four packs meeting on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. -The Scout section is for young people between 10.5 and 14 years of age. The Group has three troops meeting on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. 1st Bradley Stoke Scouts also have a partnership with an Explorer Scouts unit for young people between the ages of 14 and 18 years of age. This unit is administered independently of the Group but holds its meetings in the same venues sharing resources. The Explorers working with adult volunteers plan their own programme of activities. Also part of the Group and who are administered and represented on the Trustee Board are The Water Rats (providing open water activities) and Top Shots (providing outdoor target shooting activities). Both sections are widely used and supported by 1st Bradley Stoke Scouts as well as other local scout groups. They provide incredible opportunities for young people across all sections to learn and develop new skills. Plans are underway to develop a Trailblazers unit for all things walking and hillwalking. To help young people in their personal development, if and when our leaders judge that they are ready for the challenge, they may be given a position of responsibility. For example, at the age nine or ten, a young person maybe promoted to the role of 'Sixer' or 'Seconder' within the Cubs section with responsibility for a small group of Cubs. Within Scout troops, young people can take responsibility as 'Patrol Leaders' and 'Assistant Patrol Leaders’. Later, as a teenager in the Explorer sections they may choose to join the 'Young Leaders' programme and assist adult volunteers in the planning and running of programmes for a younger section. The Group continues to deliver the most diverse set of activities, life skills and informal learning in the community for our young people giving great value for money. |

| Section D | Achievements and performance |
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
|
| The Group in its entirety organises weekend and holiday activities that include camps, hikes and other outdoor activities. They also participate in programmes of events that are organised at District, County or National levels. Included in this reporting was the attendance of the Beavers and Scouts at BJAM 23 the District Jamboree where a great experience was had by all attendees and for the Beavers their first experience of such an event - and they can’t wait to go back. A significant event for all sections is the annual Remembrance Day Parade. Organised by the Group this is a community event attended by representatives of other local charities, the town council and members of the public. The parade involves a procession by all sections and other local young people groups led by our affiliated Marching Band to the Bradley Stoke War Memorial and each year has a different relevant theme. This event is always well attended and provides an opportunity for greater learning and understanding as well as demonstrating new |
|
| skills |
| skills. Young people in scouting can earn badges in recognition of skills learned, challenges met, and activities carried out. Our regular programmes and our camp activities are designed to meet the requirements for these badges. Young people who participate fully in the Group’s activities will complete enough activities and challenges to be rewarded with the Chief Scout's Award which they can wear with justified pride. This reporting year over 75% of the Beavers achieved their Bronze Chief Scout Award before they moved up to Cubs - what a fantastic achievement. |

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scout Group
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of 1[st] Bradley Stoke Scouts Group (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
