Brief statement	ofthe charity's	ofthe charity's	policy on	Reserves Policy
reserves
				Tha Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
				to continue the charitable activities of the group should
				income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group
				Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a
				sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa K6,000.
				The Group held reserves off40,000 against this at year end.
				This is above the level required for operating expenses as we
				are currently building up additional reserves towards the cost
				efthe building extension. The figure has also built up due to
				the receipt of Local Covid Grants. Due ot the receipt of the
				grants and the decision to not hold face to face meetings no
				subscriptions were collected but parents were asked to make
				a donation if they felt able to. There are plans in place to
				generate additional funds towards the building extension
				through grant applications. A Gifi Aid Claim covering the
				cunent and 2 previous years was submitted and accepted in
				the 2020/2021 accounting year.
Details ofany funds (circumstances plus		materially in deficit steps to eliminate)		There are no known outstanding payments due to or from the Group
Further financial	review details
				Inveshnent Policy
				The Group's Income and Expenditure is relatively small and
				as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in
				longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The
				Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the
				investment ofits funds. Afi funds are held in cash using only
				mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout
				Association's Short Term Investment Service.
				The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels ofbank
				balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group
				obtains maximum value and income from its banking
				arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an
				account that requires a period ofnotice before funds may be
				withdrawn, before doing sothe Group Executive considers
				the cash flow requirements.
