Maintain
confidentiality
with regard to appropriate
Executive
Committee
business.
The Group Executive Committee
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
ofconcern that have been identified are:
Damage to the building,
property
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
contributes
to the Scout Association*s
national
accident insurance
policy through
the capitation fees. 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 Committee
could raise the value
ofsubscriptions
to increase the income to the Group on an
ongoing basis, either temporarily
or permanently.
i
Reduction
or loss of members.
The Group provides
activities for all
young people aged 6to 14.Ifthere 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 ofa section. In the
worst case scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
~ 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
policy to ensure that
insurable
risks are covered.
The objectives ofthe Group are as a unit ofthe Scout Association.

Once again
1"/4'" Addlestone
(St.Paul's) Scout group is pleased to report
a successful
and active year. As
I am sure you all remember,
2021 was a
'recovery'
year,
having
previously
been having
mainly
'ZOOM' meetings.
During
this
period
our
numbers
had
dwindled,
however,
with
the
'
reintroduction
of face-to-face
meetings
we began
to regain
members,
having
'lost 'only 9members,
which could be attributed
to normal member
movement.
This is a testament
to the hard work and commitment
shown
by all our leaders to engage our members
during those difficult times. On
restarting
our regular
meetings,
we started
with 96 members.
As the
Country
returned
to 'normal'
each Section has shown
growth
throughout
the year, ending the year with 119members.
This trend has continued
to
increase as we now have 125members.
All Sections have
maintained
a varied
and
lively programme-and,
ia've';
when able, included
trips and camps as well as badge work
In addition
to the Group activities, our Sections have taken part in several
ofthe District and County events, supplementing
the programme.
As always,
the Sections
rely on Leaders,
Helpers
and parent
support
to
make possible the regular weekly meetings,
outings,
events and camps.
VVe would
like to thank everyone
who has helped
in this way —with the
number we have,
it is impossible
to single any one person out.
Our attendance
at all our meetings
and at these
events
would
not be
possible
without
the support
of the lay members
and
fund raisers. who
willingly
give up their time to help to maintain
the building
etc,
The Group constantly
has vacancies for anyone who is willing and able to
give even an hour oftheir time when they can. Please think about coming
and joining us —it is rewarding
and fulfilling
but most of all great fun.
The Group's
policy on reserves
is to hold sufficient resources to continue
