1[st] Wendover Scouts AGM – Group Treasurer Update 17[th] September 2025 Good evening, I would like to introduce the draft accounts, a copy of which is up on the screen now These are in draft format, there is still some work to finalise these and once complete will be handed over to the auditor after this meeting. The draft accounts includes comparisons to last year’s accounts, and I will provide a quick commentary on some of the main differences to last year’s accounts. The accounts show an total income across the group of nearly £56,000, up from £51,000 from last year. We very gratefully received £7,500 from the Lionel Abel Trust as a contribution to the new minibus which we have now purchased. We thank the trust for their continued support of the Scout Group. Sectional income of nearly £17,000 represents parental contributions to the programme of activities and section camps. The Exec took the decision to sell the older of the two minibuses, which raised £4,500 which contributed towards the new minibus purchased in February. The annual rental income increased in 2023/24 by 8.3% to just over £8,500 in line with increases to consumer price increases. We have increased the level of expenditure on Programme, activities and materials for 2024/25. C. £17.000 has been spent on camp costs which has largely been met by parental contributions. Additional section activities have cost £10,000, and the group has replaced many of its tents with brand new Khyam tents costing just over £3,000. Utility costs have gone up, and we are currently in the middle of a surplus reclaim as we now take advantage of our solar panels. Overall, with the purchase of our new minibus, and our growing programme of activities our cash position in 2024-25 has decreased to an adjusted of £40,145 compared to £70,900, with the We have maintained our reserves of £15,775 which have not been touched during 2024/25, and are more than sufficient to cover 6 months’ worth of outgoings, as required by the Charity commission. We are not planning on drawing upon these reserves to fund and I would expect this level of reserves to be available for the duration of 2025/26. ## **1st Wendover Scouts Accounts 2024-25** |**Receipts**
