identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to

beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**This charity is a growing Scout Group.**
**Year on year, youth numbers have**
**increased, although COVID saw a**
**dramatic decline in numbers, which is**
**now slowly increasing. Uniform can be**
**provided at low cost, as the charity**
**always has good, used items in stock**
**and it can be given for free if there is a**
**genuine need. All members are able to**
**attend outings and camps, costs are**
**kept low to enable this. Children benefit**
**from outdoor freedom, in a controlled**
**environment. They learn from older**
**children, as well as leaders and gain**
**confidence in things they may not**
**ordinarily encounter e.g. cooking over**
**fires, being responsible for the care of**
**equipment, taking charge of a game or**
**activity. They learn about local history**
**in the area in which they live and**
**contribute to the upkeep by litter picks,**
**bulb or tree planting on an annual basis.**
**This benefits the local community, in**
**addition to the members of the Scout**
**Group. The aim is to encourage good**
**citizenship from an early age.**| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

**years, when a maximum would have**
**been reached. COVID has also meant a**
