Nicholls 19 Mazoe Road Bishop’s Stortford Herts, CM23 3 JS 3 ## **1st Thorley (St. James) Scout Group Trustee’s Annual Report for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2024** The aim of the Scout Association is to promote and encourage “the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of its members so they can take a rightful place in society”. We offer a balanced and progressive programme from the age of six through to sixteen, supported by a Group Executive made up of parents past and present. Our Group continues to grow with members from all sections gaining top training awards and having lots of fun along the way. Scouting is alive and well in Bishop’s Stortford with 1st Thorley (St. James) Scout Group currently being one of the largest Groups both locally as well as in Hertfordshire. Group Scout Leader Group Chairman 4 # **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the 1st Thorley (St. James) Scout Group** I report on the accounts of the 1st Thorley (St. James) Scout Group for the year ended 31[st] December 2024. As the Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: which gives me reasonable cause to believe, that in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act, to prepare accounts, which accord with the accounting records, and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached, or which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the accounting rules of the Group’s constitution have not been met.
