Being invited to some of the events and evenings which sections run has been a real joy, with my particular highlight being the Beavers’ Christmas tea party! As you will all be aware one of the key things that makes our Group so successful is the team of leaders which we have and who give their time so endlessly to run the Section meetings and all the other camps and activities which our young people take part in. To be totally honest I hadn’t ever properly considered how much time this takes. Being Chair has opened my eyes to exactly how much time all our leaders contribute to planning and delivering the sessions, so a huge thank you to them all. The Trustee Board is made up of leaders and parents and works to make sure that everything is in place for our leaders to do what they do so brilliantly. We now have increasing numbers of bookings of the hall outside of scouting use which has continued to cement our financial position following the pandemic. As a Group we have continued to maintain and make improvements to the hall including replacing the front doors, and as anyone who has been here for the last day or so will have noticed, we now have fully working sinks outside at the front and I believe blackout blinds are the next project. We have also spent money on buying and replacing kit for all sections. Some of this was for when groups go on camps like new alter fires, but we also bought equipment for activities in the hall. One of the tricky realities of having such a successful Group is the accompanying waiting list! The Trustee Board and leaders have worked to create a policy to manage the waiting list fairly and transparently – and share this with all those on the list and ask them to confirm they still want to be on the list. This sounds a deceptively simple piece of work but was not! Many thanks to Debbie and Tim who have worked really hard on this piece. One of the Board, Mark Gately, whose association with the Thirds goes back an indecent amount of time has decided to step down from the Board as he has moved further afield. I woud like to thank him for all his work over the years and personally for the support he offered when I first started and last autumn, when Andy stepped back from the Group for a short period of time. My thanks to all those who are on the Trustee board and also gave up their time to support the Group. Apart from leaders and trustees the other strand of support comes from you as parents and friends of our members and as ever we are really grateful for your ongoing support and help with all our Sections. **3 |** P a g e Third Royal Eltham Scout Group C h a r i t y N o . 2 8 2 3 6 2 Fundamentally we are all here to give our young people incredible opportunities to do things, make friends and have fun. And it is thanks to all these different strands of support that we can and do. I am very much looking forward to hearing more about what they have done over the past year shortly and to the next year of activities, camps and fun! ## Bendy Ashfield **Chair Third Royal Eltham Scout Group** Third Royal Eltham Scout Group C h a r i t y N o . 2 8 2 3 6 2 **4 |** P a g e ## **Reference and Administration** The attached annual accounts for the Group show income above the level that requires external examination. The accounts have been prepared by the Group Treasurer and put before and agreed by the Executive Committee. The accounts are annexed to this report and a scrutinised copy will be lodged with the Charity Commissioner as required. The land and buildings shown in the accounts are owned by the Group but held in trust for the Group by the Scout Association. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The Group’s governing documents are those of the Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all scouts. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee, the members of which are the Charity Trustees of The Scout Group which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate. The Committee consists of three independent representatives: Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, together with the Group Scout Leader, individual section Leaders and parent’s representation and meets approximately every three months. This Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the new appointments and is responsible for: - The maintenance of Group property; - The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance; - The insurance of persons, property and equipment; - Group public occasions; - Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support; - Appointing any sub-committees that may be required; - Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected. Third Royal Eltham Scout Group C h a r i t y N o . 2 8 2 3 6 2 **5 |** P a g e ## **Risk and internal control** 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 of concern that have been identified are: **Damage to the building, property and equipment.** The Group would request the use of the 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 contribute to the Scout Association’s national accident insurance policy. 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 of subscriptions to increase the income to the Group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently. The review of the subscriptions is undertaken on a yearly basis. **Reduction or loss of Leaders.** The Group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the Group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section of the Group as a whole, then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section or, in the worst-case scenario, the complete closure of the Group. **Reduction or loss of members** . The Group provides activities for all young people aged 4 to 14 years. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or the Group as a whole, then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section, or in the worst-case scenario, the complete closure of the Group. The Group has in place systems of internal control that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments. ## **Objectives and activities** The objectives of the Group are as a unit of the Scout Association. The aim of the Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. The method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise. **6 |** P a g e Third Royal Eltham Scout Group C h a r i t y N o . 2 8 2 3 6 2 The Group Sections meeting on a regular basis not less than once per week during school term time. In addition, they participate in events run and controlled by the Scout District and Scout County. The Group meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. ## **Achievements and performance** The Group Scout Leader acknowledges the time and commitment of the Section Leaders together with the contribution of the Group Executive Committee. Whilst these people commit many hours per year to the Group, it does not go unnoticed the myriad of parents that assist on section events, however small that contribution. Without all those small contributions the Group would not function to the present level of success that it enjoys. ## **General Data Protection Guidelines – GDPR** We do process data provided in the course of running the Group and carrying out activities. We keep personal data in relation to each family and their child in order to provide a contact database: to collect and manage payments; and to be aware of the medical history and conditions to enable us to keep children safe whilst on activities. As part of the safeguarding requirements of the Scout Association we also collect Criminal Records data for adults involved in activities. ## **Arrowhead Explorers** For ease of management due to their affiliation to The Third Royal Eltham Scout Group, Arrowhead Explorers are included in our accounts but are governed by the District’s procedures and are registered with a different charity number to the Group. Arrowhead are an asset to the Group and provide an essential role of support as young leaders to the Group, with many of its current members having progressed from the Group’s Scout section – and indeed, through the Group from Beavers and Cubs. An achievement we are very proud of. ## **Financial Review** ## **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. The Group Executive Committee considers that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, reduced pro rata by the fact that lower income is caused by a number of factors, and if that is due to reduced members, this will result in lower running costs. Third Royal Eltham Scout Group C h a r i t y N o . 2 8 2 3 6 2 **7 |** P a g e ## **Financial Review** The Group Executive has reviewed the reserve policy this year and it was agreed to hold a figure at or about the cost of running the building and insurance for a year without the benefit of members or income. The Group Executive’s reserving policy has therefore been calculated on the basis of nil members and the building not being utilised, the reserve is therefore circa £4,000. It is recognised that this figure does not allow for any urgent capital expenditure but it is considered that the risk of nil members and a large urgent capital expenditure is highly unlikely. ## **Restricted Reserves** In addition to the general reserve restricted funds are held for each section where monies have been paid for activities that have not yet taken place at the financial year end. ## **Investment Policy** The Group’s income and expenditure is small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments such as stocks and shares. The Group has therefore adopted a low-risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies. ## **Declaration** The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustee Report above.
