								Investment Policy
~the charity's		principal sources					offunds
								The Group's net 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		ofits funds. All funds are
								held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short Term Investment Service.
~ how expenditure			has supported				the key
objectives	ofthe		charity;					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 of notice before
								funds may be withdrawn, before doing so	the Group Executive
								considers the cash flow requirements.
