1.5 Risk and Internal Control
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major risks to which they believe the Group is exposed which are:
1.5.1 Injury to Leaders, Helpers, Supporters or Members
The Group supports compliance with the Safety Policy and ensures appropriate risk assessment; elimination, reduction and control measures are taken to reduce the likelihood of any injuries.
T
r
In addition, through membership fees, the Group contributes to the Scout Association’s national accident insurance policy.
1.5.2 Damage to Buildings, Property or Equipment
The Group would request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.
1.5.3 Reduced Income from Subscriptions and Fund Raising
The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fund-raising. The Group holds adequate reserves to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The committee could also raise the value of subscriptions to increase the Group income either temporarily or permanently.
1.5.4 Reduction or Loss of Leaders
The Group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the Group. If there were a reduction in the number of volunteers to an unacceptable level, then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of activities or sections.
1.5.5 Reduction or Loss of Members
If there were a reduction in membership of a particular section or the Group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section.
2 Objectives and Activities
The primary objective of the Group is that of the Scout Association generally, namely:
‘to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.’
The Values of Scouting
As Scouts we are guided by these values:
-
Integrity - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal.
-
Respect - We have self-respect and respect for others.
-
Care - We support others and take care of the world in which we live.
T
r
-
Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.
-
Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we cooperate 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.
The activities of the Group are:
- The provision of the Scouting programme for 5–14 year old members
3 Achievements and Performance
- 3.1 Public benefit statement
The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.
4 Financial Review
5 Reserves Policy
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 6 months running costs.
T
r
5.1 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.
