Structure, governance and management
Description of the charity's trusts
Type of governing document
The Group's governing documents are those of the The Scout
Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn
gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The
Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
(e.g. trust deed, constitution)
How the charity is constituted
The Group is a trust established under its rules which are
common to all Scouts.
(e.g. trust, association, company)
Trustee selection methods
(e.g. appointed by, elected by)
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice)
You may choose to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
The Group is managed by the Board of Trustees (BOT), the
members of which are the 'Charity Trustees, of the Scout Group
which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are

2 LT700001 (14 September 2024)

Section B
Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk and Internal Control
The Group Trustee Board has identified the major risks to which
they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed
and systems have been established to mitigate against them.
The main areas of concern that have been identified are:
Damage to the building, propety and equipment. The Group
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 Board 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 4 to 18. 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.
Risk and Internal Control
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.

we live.
Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.

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.
Summary of the main activities in relation to
these objects
The aims are achieved by the running of section meetings
each week in term time, and additionally offering nights away
experiences either on our premises or elsewhere to allow skills
learnt on weeknights to be put into practice.
Additional details of the objectives and activities (optional information but encouraged as best practice)
You may choose to include further

Reserves Policy
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to
continue the charitable activities of the group should income

Further financial review details (optional information)
You may choose to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
the charity's principal sources of funds
(including any fundraising).
Investment Policy
The Group's Income and Expenditure is very 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 of
its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream
banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short
Term Investment Service. Except for a small number of shares
inherited from Lloyds Bank.
how expenditure has supported the key
objectives of the charity;
The Board of Trustees regularly monitors the levels of bank
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 of notice before funds may be withdrawn,
before doing so the Group BOT considers the cash flow
requirements.
investment policy and objectives;
Funds are raised mainly via termly subscriptions, of which
approximately half is paid upwards to District for insurance and
facilities in the area. There are also ad hoc funraising events
organised throughout the year.
