Our Aims
The group operates as part of the wider scouts association with an aim to actively engage and support young people from the local community in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society Our aim is to have fun, provide adventure and skills for life and give young people the opportunity to enjoy new adventures, experience outdoors and take part in a range of creative, community and international activities, interact with others, make new friends, gain confidence and have the opportunity to reach their full potential, all within a safe environment.
Our Objectives
The primary objective of Redbourn scouts is about: Supporting the community, challenging and educating the youth of tomorrow, doing our bit to look after the world. Our second objective is to have premises and facilities fit for purpose, environmentally friendly and in a condition which can generate an income thereby allowing us to provide our services to the community at marginal rates
Review of Activities & Achievements
Approximately 100 Children, approximately 35 adults currently limited by ratios and leader availability. The children are split into 6 groups dependant on age.
In addition to subs payments the scout group runs a number of fundraising events during the year supporting local community event.
Our Finances
The financial statements show net income for the financial year of £14,480 (£16,414 FY2021).
Total grants received of £11,165. As a charity the parents of our members have the assurance that all of the income received will be used to either make scouting more accessible for all or to improve the facilities and services offered to scouts and the local community.
Developments, Maintenance & Future Plans
Over the next 5 to 10 years, it is our intention to improve the skill sets of leaders within the scout group enabling teaching and training on more outdoor activities to in turn increase the experiences we offer to young people in the community.
We also intent to improve facilities starting with a firepit in year one and maintain and fix outdoor and indoor grounds and replace or increase equipment/supplies. We will be putting in place a new security fence in year two and developing the grounds further.
At some point the aim is to completely replace the building with a new fit for purpose building which can provide all the needs of scouts and also benefit the local community. One of the aims here is to create a premises that can deliver an income stream which would ultimately allow us to deliver scouting to the community at an affordable rate ensuring it remains accessible for all.

Notes to Accounts 1. Accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis 2. Due to the nature and size of the Group’s capital expenditure, these costs are expensed as incurred. 3. Redbourn Scout Group is a registered charity 4. The Group owns tents and other equipment with an approximate value of £300 (£400 last year) 5. With the switch to GoCardless for payments, we were not able to reconcile payments in between subscription and event contribution for the 2019/2020 year. This has now been addressed.
