would request the use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations such as the church,
community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal
arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has
sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate
against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group
through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities
should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee
could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to
the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or
permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If
there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a
whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation
or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete
closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for
all young people aged 6 to 14. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the group as whole then
there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure
of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of
the Group.
Financial controls. The group has in place systems of internal
controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance
against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2
signatories for all payments and a comprehensive insurance
policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.
