1[st ] Hellingly Scout Group

Hailsham & Heathfield District

Trustees’ annual report for the year ending 31 March 2025

Reference details

Registered charity number: 277158

Scout Association registration number: 10012176

Website: www.hellinglyscouts.org.uk

Address of headquarters: Crouch Hall, Horsebridge, Hailsham, East Sussex (off A271)

Objectives and activities

1st Hellingly Scout Group (“the Group”) is part of the National Scout Association[1 ] and operates within the framework given in its “Policy, Organisation and Rules” (P.O.R.)[2] .

The purpose of Scouting is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

The aims of the Scout Association are achieved by providing an enjoyable and attractive program of progressive training, which is guided by the following 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. Belief We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. Co-operation We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

The Group operates for the benefit of young people, between the ages of 6 and 18 years, from any background, regardless of gender, faith or personal circumstances, and thus meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria.

We have two Beaver sections (6 to 8 years), two Cub sections (8 to 10½ years) and one Scout section (10½ to 14 years) and one joint Explorer unit (14 to 17 years). Each section is overseen by an adult leadership team which, in consultation with the young people, devises an enjoyable program of training that delivers the purpose and is relevant to the age-group. This enables the young people to attain the Scout Association awards relevant to their section.

The principal awards are divided into two groups:

Attaining all the Challenge Awards and a sufficient number of Activity Badges for their age-group leads to the Chief Scout Award for their section, Bronze, Silver or Gold for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, respectively.

An Explorer Scout section (14 to 17 years), which is the responsibility of the Scouting District, meets at our HQ and links with us through a partnership agreement. The Group also oversees a sub-section that engages in the Young Leader program.

Achievements and performance

The following is a summary of the year. Further information can be found on our website.

Structure, governance and management

1st Hellingly Scout Group is governed by the Policy, Organisation and Rules (P.O.R.)[2 ] of the Scout Association, which provides the framework in which all UK Scouting operates. As a charity the Group is also governed by Charity Commission legislation. Note that between 2023 and 2025 the National Scout Association is introducing changes to the structure which are designed to enhance the governance arrangements of Scout Groups, at the same time creating more flexible opportunities for adults to participate.

Most of the new changes will take place from the AGM to be held in September 2025; the following is the situation as it stood on 31 March 2024.

Within the Group there are a number of adult leaders and supporters, who give their time and expertise voluntarily, without remuneration, to help the development of young people. The Group is led by the Group Lead Volunteer, whose role is to co-ordinate the Group’s activities and to ensure continuity and development.

All leaders and trustees are subject to satisfactory DBS checks and are required to undergo training appropriate for their role. This includes ongoing refresher courses in safety and safeguarding every 3 years. In addition, leaders are required to have first aid training (First Response) every 3 years. Completion of training modules is recorded on a national database, which is constantly monitored to ensure that standards are maintained.

Trustees

In accordance with the changes mentioned above, the Group’s Executive Committee will be renamed the Trustee Board, which better reflects its responsibilities in that area. The Board currently consists of the Group Scout Leader (GSL), the Leader of each of the Group’s sections, the Leader of the Explorer Scout Unit that is linked with the Group, and other members who are appointed in accordance with the rules and guidance of the Scout Association. Further changes will take place from 2024/25 AGM.

Between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 the Board met 4 times to act collectively as charity trustees of the Scout Group, and in the best interests of its members to:

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 of running costs. The trustees consider that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 4 to 6 months of running costs in the General Fund to cover imminent payments and urgent building repairs should they arise.

At 31 March 2025 the balance as agreed by the trustees stood at £8,000.00, which satisfies this policy with a considerable additional margin.

The Group Trustee Board also considers it prudent to hold just one “designated” fund to ensure that there are adequate reserves to maintain the HQ and equipment to satisfactory standards, as detailed in the notes to the accounts.

Investment policy

The Group has adopted a low-risk strategy to investment, keeping funds in mainstream banks. On 31st March 2025 £32,256.46 was held in a Barclays Business current account, no saving accounts are utilised by the group.

Signatories to bank accounts

Payments or withdrawals from the Group’s bank accounts require authorisation by two of the following:

THE CONSTITUTION of 1[st] Hellingly Scout Group

Part 1: Context

This constitution explains what our charity is set up to do, and how it should operate. It sets out the rules to be followed in the governance of the charity.

In the interest of openness, especially for new members of the Group Scout Council, the Scout Council should re-adopt this constitution and record the readoption in the minutes at each Annual General Meeting.

This can be recorded as:

“The adoption of the model constitution as set out in 5.4. of Policy, Organisation & Rules with local additions, the process and rules laid out in POR have not been changed.”

1.1 The Purpose of Scouting (Charitable objectives)

Scouting (The Scouts) in the UK is organised through The Scout Association. Our purpose is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

The Scout Association’s method of meeting the purpose of Scouting is through a balanced programme.

1.2.1 The Scout Method

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of scouting and:

1.2.2 Our Values

As Scouts we are guided by these values:

1.3 The Balanced Programme

The programme is everything we do as Scouts – it includes the activity badges, challenge badges and awards. This programme is planned by the section leadership teams in partnership with young people and provides a framework for the progression of informal learning, events and activities that covers everything that young people take part in from the ages of 4 to 25. The programme is flexible and has room to adapt and accommodate the needs of the individuals in the section.

The balanced programme for all sections is based around three main themes: outdoor and adventure, world and skills. In each section a range of badges and awards support all aspects of Scouting, including the main themes: leadership, teamwork and personal development and through six tailored programme zones: community, global, beliefs and attitudes, outdoor and adventure, creative expression and fit for life. The programme is delivered in a

balanced way that incorporates elements from each theme, to offer young people the most interesting and diverse experience.

1.4

Key Policies

We follow and adhere to The Scout Association’s key policies relating to:

No order of importance or priority is implied - they are all equal. These can be found in the current edition of the Policy, Organisation & Rules of The Scout Association and www.scouts.org.uk/about-us/policy

1.5

Structure of the Scout Association

Scouting in the United Kingdom is organised in Scout Groups, Scout Districts, Scout Counties, Scout Regions and Country Headquarters. These units of Scouting provide:

The Scout Group is the local organisation for Scouting. It combines the different sections and comprises of one or more of any or all of the following:

A Scout Group can also consist of any number of sections in the different age groups. All sections in a Scout Group provide co-educational Scouting.

Additionally, an Explorer Scout Unit may also be attached to a Scout Group.

1.6

Registration of Scout Groups

A Scout Group cannot exist unless it has a current registration with the Scout Association. Registration is renewed annually by completing and submitting an annual registration and census return as directed by UK Headquarters. Registration renewal also requires the payment of the Headquarters Membership Subscription and any District, and County Membership Subscriptions payable.

The registration, suspension, and alteration or cancellation of registration are matters for the District’s Lead Volunteer and District Trustee Board.

Charity Law does not permit a Scout Group to transfer from the Scout Association to any other body whether calling itself a Scout organisation or by any other name.

1.7 Our Aim (Public Benefit Statement)

We are part of The Scout Association, the UK's biggest coeducational youth organisation. We help children and young adults reach their full potential and gain skills for life.

We actively engage and support our members in their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual development and to achieve their full potential as individuals, as responsible citizens, and as members of their local, national and international communities.

We operate within a framework of safety to enable young people to take part in adventurous activities safely. Our charitable objectives help young people learn by doing, share in spiritual reflection and take responsibility. Working together, they make choices, take part in new, challenging, and unique experiences, help others and live their Scout Promise.

In partnership with adults, young people take part in fun indoor and outdoor activities. Activities as diverse as kayaking, abseiling, expeditions overseas, photography, climbing and zorbing. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world by contributing to social change and make a positive contribution to society.

There’s something for every young person. It’s a great way to have fun, make friends, get outdoors, express creativity, and experience the wider world.

We believe that we’ve met the Charity Commission for England and Wales’s public benefit criteria for both the advancement of education, and the advancement of citizenship and community development and being as diverse as the communities we serve.

Notes on making appointments

3.4 Trustee Board Membership

There are three classifications of Trustee:

There is only one ex officio Trustee role for a Group Scout Leader, so where there are joint role holders for Group Scout Leader, the role holders must decide, in discussion the Group Chair, which of them will be the ex officio Trustee. However, each Group Scout Leader role holder must be eligible to be a Trustee (as specified in 16.1.1.5 of The Scout Association Policy, Organisation and Rules).

This selection process may include nominations or an election process or other locally appropriate procedures. It may include selection of persons with specific skills from outside the Scouts. The Trustee vacancies should be advertised widely so that it is clear it is an open process. It may include members of the Scout Council and may also include people from outside the Scout Council (including from outside the Scouts) provided that there is no conflict of interest.

The Group Trustee Board must initiate a selection process to propose a Group Chair to the Group Scout Council for appointment at their AGM. Vacancies for the role of Group Chair only occur at the end of their period of appointment (for example, a Chair may have been appointed for three years and so does not need to be re-appointed or re-selected after years 1 and 2).

The appointed members of a Group Trustee Board are persons appointed by the Group Scout Council at the Group’s AGM. This should follow a selection process initiated and overseen by the Group Trustee Board. Vacancies for the role of Trustee only occur at the end of their period of appointment (for example, a Trustee may have been appointed for three years and so does not need to be re-appointed or re-selected after years 1 and 2).

The proposal from the Trustee Board is received by the Scout Council at their AGM. The proposed name(s) from the Trustee Board do not require seconding by a member of the Scout Council. The action of the Scout Council is to approve (or not) the proposed name(s) from the Trustee Board.

The co-opted members of a Group Trustee Board are persons co- opted annually by the Group Trustee Board. They are not appointed by the Group Scout Council at its AGM. The number of co-opted members must not exceed the actual number of appointed Trustees (excluding Chair and Treasurer).

Following each Annual General Meeting, the Secretary must ensure that:

Conflict of interest

Subject to the conflict of interest rules a Trustee may be a member of more than one Trustee Board.

A conflict of interest is when someone’s judgement or actions are, or could be, affected by personal involvement or other interest relating to the matter at hand. This includes any circumstances that affect, or could be seen to affect, someone’s independence or impartiality.

All trustees have a legal duty to act only in the best interests of their charity. If there is a decision to be made where a trustee has a personal or other interest, this is a conflict of interest. Conflict of interest may lead to decisions that are not in the best interests of the charity and which are invalid or open to challenge. Conflicts of interest may also damage a charity’s reputation or public trust and confidence in charities generally. These harmful effects may be prevented where individual trustees can identify conflicts of interest, and the trustee body must act to prevent them from affecting their decision making.

A Group Trustee Board should comprise a maximum of 12 Trustees (the total of all ex officio, appointed and co-opted Trustee categories), with a minimum of five Trustees. The maximum number of Trustees should be agreed by the Group Scout Council at its AGM.

Each ex officio, appointed and co-opted member of the Group Trustee Board is a charity Trustee of the Group.

People invited to attend a meeting of the Group Trustee Board, or with right of attendance, may be present at the meeting but are not charity Trustees and have no voting rights.

All Trustees must complete learning as specified in Rule 16.2.1, 16.2.3, 16.2.4 of The Scout Association Policy, Organisation and Rules and the Chapter 16 Roles Table. of The Scout Association Policy, Organisation and Rules.

It is good practice for a Group Trustee Board, and any sub committees, to have at least two Trustees aged between their 18 th and 25 th birthdays.

Each Group Trustee Board requires effective administration. The administration may be provided by one or more persons as appropriate to the Group.

The District Commissioner, the District Chair and the County Commissioner each have the right of attendance at meetings of each of the Group Trustee Boards in the Districts in the County.

A statement of accounts, detailing all monies received or paid on behalf of the Group, include all sections, committees, must be prepared annually and be scrutinised, independently examined or audited as appropriate in accordance with the rules of the Scout Association. This statement must account for all monies received or paid on behalf of the Group, including all Sections and Committees.

Signed copies of the Trustees’ annual report and accounts must be sent to the District Treasurer within the 14 days following the relevant Annual General Meeting at which the annual report and accounts were received and considered.

1[st] Hellingly Scout Group is a registered charity A copy of the annual report and accounts must also be sent to the appropriate charity regulator if the regulator’s rules require it, within ten months of the financial year end.

Preservation of books of account

Statements of account and all existing accounting records must be preserved for at least 6 years from the end of the financial year in which they are made, or for such longer period as may be required by HMRC or other relevant body.

Payment of the membership subscription

To meet the costs of UK Headquarters services to the movement and the costs of organising and administering The Scout Association, and to meet The Scout Association's obligations to World Scouting, the Board of Trustees of The Scout Association requires a UK Headquarters Membership Subscription to be paid for each member aged under 18.

The amount of the membership subscription is decided annually by the UK Headquarters Board of Trustees.

In addition, to meet local costs, the local Group, District and County charge a membership subscription.

The Group is responsible for the collection and payment of the UK Headquarters membership subscriptions and County and District subscriptions in accordance with the numbers returned on the annual census of membership return which is submitted in the first quarter of year.

Payment of annual membership subscriptions should be remitted to the District Treasurer not later than the date annually notified by the district.

Membership subscriptions may be collected from youth members or their parents by a method decided by the Group Trustee Board.

The Group is encouraged to use the Gift Aid scheme for subscription payments.

The amount of the UK Headquarters membership subscription decided by the Board of Trustees applies to the whole of the United Kingdom, and The Scout Association members overseas.

Fundraising

To maintain its work and to generate all that is needed to implement its training programme, the Scout movement has to support itself financially.

Groups are expected to generate sufficient funds to carry out their own programme of activities.

Fundraising carried out on behalf of Scouting must be conducted in accordance with the principles embodied in the Scout Promise and Law.

Within the provisions of this policy the methods of fundraising may be chosen so long as they are consistent with the Movement's reputation and good standing.

Fundraising conducted on behalf of Scouting may be by any means not forbidden by law, and which is acceptable to the local community, provided that:

Public collections of money are allowed provided that the legislation regarding age, action and location of collectors is complied with.

Collections may take place even though there is no visible reciprocal effort for the donation. Stickers and flags are appropriate. It is considered that value for the donation has already been given to society by the work of the Scout Movement in and for the community.

Where the reason for the fundraising is stated, the proceeds must only be used for that purpose.

Joint Fundraising Projects

Joint fundraising projects with other charitable organisations are permitted provided that the part of the proceeds allotted to the other organisation is used wholly for purposes other than those of private gain.

Country Headquarters should be consulted if there is the slightest doubt as to the bona fides of the other organisation in respect of the purposes of the fundraising activity.

When participating in a joint project, terms should be agreed and recorded in a Memorandum of Understanding or non-legal agreement.

Grant Aid and Loans

Provided that a Group raises a proportion of its own funds, it may accept financial support in the form of grant aid or loans.

Applications for grants or loans

If changes are being planned about how grants may be spent which differ from what was originally proposed, the funder’s approval must first be obtained in writing if that is a requirement of the grant awarded.

Disposal of assets

Disposal of Group assets at amalgamation

Assets or liabilities remaining after closure

If there is any reasonable prospect of the Group being revived the disposal of assets may be delayed for such a period as the District thinks proper with a view to returning them to the revived Group.

The Trustee Board is responsible for preserving the statements of account and all accounting records of the Group.
