The District Scout Council co-ordinates the activitie5 of all Scout Group5 Wlthin the Aylesbury District underthe conditions and rules laid down by the Scout Assoclation. The Scout Council is a Charity established under the rules that are common to all Scouting organisations. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the kout Association. The Majortty ol the Council's income is obtalned from a levy on each Member of the Movement. Additional incoffle is obtained Irom various grants, from i¥westment Income and from recelpts from various activities organised by the Scout Council. Full details of all sources ol income are given in the èttached accounts. whlch reflect the activtties of ihe Scout Council only, and not those of the underlying Groups. The Accounts have been drawn up on a reEeipts and payment basis. which is consistentwith prevlous year5. TreasUr$ Report 2022123 The following ¥K)tes accompany the 2022123 accounts. 2022123 is the first yearthat the Group's subscriptions fee were paid into the District account the same flnancial year as the Invoice to Headquarters and County wa5 paid out.

Section activitles tend to be self-financing, such that income received on the whole tovers expenditure incurred. However. lor 2022123..
Beaver incorne15 greater rhan expenditufe. This is mainly due to the coach for Beaveree trip io Gilwell in the summer was paid at the end of 202V22 and therefore that expenditure does not feature In these accounts. A 51gnificant amount of income has bee¥tr received under Cub Income, rhe majority belng for the StriCt French trip. With the malority of the Cofresponding Cub expenditure also relating to the French trip. 4. jamboree expenditure and inctsrne Ifundralsingl has increased from 2021122 a5 the four participants were chosen in Aprll 2022 and the World Jamboree is taking placeAugu5t 2023 in Korea. Donations/giants relates to the poppy wreathes that are laid on behalf of the Di5trit for Rernembrance Dav. 6. Grant5 from International l D&E (Development and Emergency) Fund relate to.. £1,450 for a Young Person to attend the Grand Tour. This involves travelling through S countrles in 3 weeks staying in Croatia, Slovenia, Ausiiia. Czech Republic and Norway and travelling by plane. Iraln and local tfansport. Fundraising for the Jamboiee includes fundraising for the Grand Tour. £250 donation Igranil to the 3 Aylesbury Scout Group to help them set up a new Squirrel Drey as theywere unsuccessful in obtainin8 HQfundlng. Monies relatin8 to resources are: £720 one off licence fee forthe new District website £734.28 lor Scout logo clothlng and name badges for member5 of the District team Miscellaneous expense5 are expenses relating to the Appointment's Committee Fund allocation Disrritt monies is split across three funds, with the General Fund being unrestrirted and the other two being self-explanatory- see table below. Fund type Year End 2022123 £31.958.65 Yèar End 2021122 General Fund £32.314 Intemational Fund 9,179.75 £10.964 Development an(S Emergencv Fund Total £10,328.10 £11,435 £51.466.$0 É54.713 The Internatlonal Fund include5 3 transfer of £3,000 from the General Fund as agreed at the July 2022 AGM. It also fleCtS the difference between thejamboree income for 20221231£7,916.951 andjamboree expenditure lor 20221231£12.7001-being a net loss of £4.784.05. Participants are expected to fundr8i5e 50% of the Jamboree costs, with any shortlall b&ing made up from the District account. The accounis demonstrate this expectat¢on ha5 been exceeded.
The following 2022123 costs have been attributed to the Development and EmergeY5cy Fund.. £340 under'Kingsbrook Start Up. is school hall hiie for the 5pringTerm 2022. £516.56 District publicity materials £250 to the 3 Aylesbury lor their Squirrel Drey start up. Totals £1.106.56 Resewve5 PolÉcv The Trustees have e5tabli5hed a policy whereby the unre5tiicted funds should be maintained at a level sufficient for them to be able to continue the current activitie5 of the District Scout Council in the event ol a slenificant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be placed or the level and type Of attivity changed. The Trustees consldered that the level ol free feseNes ouired should be equivalent to between 12 and 18 monihs of the annual budget income. which equate5 to between £5.332 and £7,998. At the end of 2022123, rhe General Fund stood at £31,956. The Trustees. thefOre, consider thisto be adequate and have set the District's budget accordingly. Funds are trènsferable if the necessity aiises. Internatlonal Fund Since 1996 an International Fund has been established to assist Young People of Aylesbury District to attend any inlernational Scouting event either at home or abroad. It has primarlly been used to send a small number of delegates las agreed by the Distritt Executive) to each Worldjamboree, on the premise that SO% of the c05t would be met through delegate fundraising. However. this is not the sole purpose of the International Fund and any member ol the District can apply for funding by making a representation to the Oistrict Executwe, with each case determined on it5 own merits. Fundraising for the Jèmboree Is monitored bythe District ExecLrtive, who will decide how any shortfall will be met. During 2017118 the Dts5tritt Execurive Committee were tnade aware ol the decision atthe J996 District AGM that 26% 91 the District Membership fee would be placed into the International Fund annuallv. Despite not knowing this the Committee had generèlly on an annual ba515 allocated money from the General Fund into the Internatlonal Fund. The Comrnittee revisited the 1996 decision and agreed a fixed pèrcentage uplift each year to the InteTnational Fund was both restrictive and unsustainable. as it is dependent on the accounts maklng a surplus eaih year. To er15UTe availabillty of funds for International Scouting activities (home and abroad) the District Executive will therefore recommend for AGM approval a Flgure to be transferred each year from the General Fund into the International Fund. being mindful of the Reserves Policy. The cost perjamboree particlpant for 2023 is £3.1751£12,700 in totall with the majority of these costs being paid during 2022123 and the remainder in 2023124. Therefore, a transfer of £3,000 is proposed Irom the General Fund into the Internatiorial Fund besng the same as last yeals. It is antiCited that participants, as a collective, fundwaise 50% of rhe costs. As at the end of March 2023 over £8K had been fundraised, with more expected in 2023124. Developmentand Emergency Fund As its name suggests the Development and Emergency Fund has been Set up to assist the growth and development of Scouting with the Ayle5bury District, or to 5UPPDrt significant unforeseen lemergenryl expenditure. Thls includes setting up new Groups or expanding existing ones. In recent yea*s there has been nts emergency spend from the fund, instead being used. for e¥ampSe, to assist the Sp of the Kingsbrook Scour Group and a Squirrel Dray at the 3rd Aylesbury during 2022123.
Use of the Development and Emergency Fund will be at the dikretion of the District Executive and its use ¥eported to each AGM. As with the Internatlonal Fund, any tiansfer of fund5 from the General Fund into this fund will be subject to approval at the AGM. being mindful of the Reserves Policy. Respon51blllties of the Trustee5 The Trustees ale reguired to prepare financial statements for eaih financial year, which eive a true and fair view of the state of affalts of the Scout Council as at the balance sheet date, and of its Sncoming resources and application of resouices, Including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statetnents the Trustee5 should.. Folpow best praitice and select suFtable accounting policies and then apply them consi5tentFy. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and Prepare financial statement5 on thegoing concern basi5 unles5 It is inappropriate to assume that the Scout Council will conrinue on that basis. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accountln8 records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the fJnanEial position of the Scout Council and to enable them to ensure that the rinancial statements meet the requilements of the Charity Commission. The Trustees ale also responsible for safeguardingthe assets of the Scout Council and hence for taking reasonable steps for the PTevention and dettIOn of fr&ud and other irregularities.

We started theyear without a DistTitt Commissioner with Mark Rutland holding the lort with the support of Murfay tlobbie. The appointment ofjames Williamson gave us thE drive and focu5 we needed including the establishment of our Youth Commissioners who have etTrgaged with the sections and leaders promotln8 and buildlng Section teams through the delivery ol great fun events and forums to really nderstand what 5COLltlng needsto be for them.

We are to be known going forward as a District Trustee Board and we will adopt the Scouting formal constitution at our annual meeting. We have always beenTrustees to the UK Registered Charity that is Aylesbury Scout District, but this change locuses on our role in terms of governance, development and the management ol scouting. As an Executtve we have met formally 5 times and have always been quorum to allow for decision makiw. We have expertenced change within the team both Mike Wlse and Pat Hisco(k standing down from thelr roles and the co-option of Mark Rutland and Chris Harper. I would liketo personally thank Mike and Pat for their support over the year5 and their (ontiibution to scouting in Ayle5bury.

Key activity in the past year ha5 been the buildup to sendlng ou¥ youn8 people on adventures abroad. Our Cub5 have spent time In France through rhe support of the cub teams and district leadership and OUT jamboree and Grand Tour participant5 have been training. They all have undertaken fundra+sing to SUPPOrt their adventures which ha5 been a great testament to all their hard work and the SUPPDrt of their parents which will enable them to have a greal adventure. build new skills and make new scouilng friend5.
