**good citizenship, and to preserve the**
**practice of Scouting as laid down by the**
**Founder, the Late Lord Baden-Powell, and**
**based on the Law and Promises given by**
**him in ‘Scouting for Boys’.**| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|**Providing a programme, relevant to the**
**particular section age-group, that teaches a**
**range of skills aiming to instil confidence**
**and self-reliance in young people. Many of**
**these activities are conducted in the**
**outdoors, with four camping trips held**
**during the period.**| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|**The Trustees always have regard to Charity**
**Commission guidance on public benefit,**
**and both they and the uniformed leaders**
**ensure that membership is open to all**
**regardless of gender, sexual orientation,**
**social, racial, religious or financial**
**background.**| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|**No grants were awarded to any individual or**
**group of individuals during the report**
**period. The Trustees’ policy is to subsidise**
**the cost of a particular activity, event or**
**expedition, for the benefit of all those taking**
**part, rather than award individual grants.**| |Policy on social investment
including program related
investment|Para 1.38|| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|**The contribution made by volunteers,**
**particularly the uniformed leaders, is**
**considerable and the Trustees wish to place**
**on record their thanks for the many hours**| **expended in planning and delivering an exciting programme for our young membership. The reporting period includes several months during which COVID restrictions were in place and the leaders continued to deliver a programme to the Wolf Cub, Scouts and Senior Scout sections online via Zoom, with good attendances.** Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**The main achievement during the earlier**
**part of the reporting period was to keep up**
**the interest of young people through the**
**COVID pandemic when face to face**
**meetings were not allowed. This took the**
**place of regular online Zoom meetings as**
**referred to above. Parents and our young**
**membership reported that this was**
**particularly valuable as an antidote to**
**school and homework. The online meetings**
**also enabled a speedy ‘restart’ when face to**
**face activities were allowed again.**
**In terms of wider benefit, the Trustees will**
**always support the objective of growing the**
**young membership as we believe there is**
**pent-up demand, particularly in the younger**
**age groups of Beavers (6 to 8 years old) and**
**Wolf Cubs (8 to 11 years old). However, this**
**is constrained by the availability of leaders**
**which is proving difficult to resolve.**
**The pandemic also made it difficult to**
**deliver public service projects in our area**
**which we will aim to address during next**
**year.**| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against objectives set Para 1.41 Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Investment performance against objectives Para 1.41 Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s

**the forthcoming summer camp which falls in**
**the next financial year.**| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**Reserves are normally held in order to**
**subsidise activities during the next financial**
**year, where a subsidy is required, and to**
