Risk and Internal Control
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major
risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these hav
been reviewed and systems have been established to
mitigate against them. The main areas of concern 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 through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. The Group
maintains Personal Accident and Medical Expenses Cover
for Non-Members. Risk Assessments are undertaken
before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions, hall hire and
fundraising. The group does hold a reserve to ensure the
continuity ofactivities should there be a major reduction in
income. The Committee could raise the value of
subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an
ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss ofleaders. The group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities ofthe group.	If
there was a reduction in the number ofleaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a
whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure ofa section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities
for all young people aged 6to 18.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.
