Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

It had been a very exciting year – the first completely and fully out from the shadow of COVID.

The group is now up to capacity and we have a waiting list that has grown to the extent that we are not expecting to be able to give places to all of those who are waiting. Brian noted that we do not have the capacity to grow the group at this stage to accommodate more members at the moment.

The 5 sections offered a full and exciting program with many camps and challenges. 135 people attended the group camp held in September 2022 with activities including rafting and tree climbing on offer.

Congratulations to our General Scout Leader, Brian Zimmerman in receiving the Silver Wolf Award, representing a life-time of exemplary service to Scouts. We also had 2 leaders receiving medal of merit during the last year, and a further 3 leaders achieving their Wood Badge.

Thanks also to the committee for their work over the year and Debbie Greenfield for her support for the Scouts in the organization of the Safari Supper, noting that the fundraising from this and other sources helped with the development of the Pavilion and in keeping subscription costs low. Thanks also to the Harwell Feast Committee for their support of the Scouts both with a direct grant and for allowing us to use the Feast as one of our key fundraising events. And thanks to the Parish Council for allowing the fireworks event to again take place on the recreation ground.

Responsibilities and basis As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance of report with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

• Independent examiner's I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention statement in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

• the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
