They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organization and Rules of The Scout Association. ## Constitution The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts. ## Trustee Selection The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organization and Rules of The Scout Association. ## Management and Policies The Group is managed by the Group Trustee Board, 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 Trustee Board consists of the Chair, Treasurer and 10 Trustees (including one Ex-OHicio Trustee) and meets every two months. the Board. This Group Trustee Board exists to make sure the charity is well-managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and the organisation's policies and rules. Their support helps other volunteers run high-quality and safe programmes that gives young people skills for life. ## Risk and Internal Control been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that 1. 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 suHicient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. 2. Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. 3. Reduced income from hut rental and 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 Board could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently. 3 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** 4. 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 or the group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. 5. Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for all young people aged 4 to 18. If there 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 of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include two signatories for all payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered. 4 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## SECTION C - OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ## The Purpose of Scouting Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. ## The Values of Scouting As Scouts we are guided by these values: - **Integrity** - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy, and loyal. - **Respect** - We have self-respect and respect for others. - **Care** - We support others and take care of the world in which we live. - **Belief** - We explore our faiths, beliefs, and attitudes. - **Co-operation** - We make a positive diHerence; we co-operate with others and make friends. ## The Scout Method Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: - Enjoy what they are doing. - Take part in activities indoors and outdoors. - Learn by doing. - - Take responsibility and make choices. - Undertake new and challenging activities. - Make and live by their Promise. ## Summary of Activities See attached Section reports. ## and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. 5 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## SECTION D - ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE ## Summary of Achievements and Scouts. We are delighted to share the highlights and progress of the past year for this year’s AGM. ## Summary of Scouting Activities All our young people have engaged in a wide range of activities that embody the spirit of Scouting. From adventurous camps and expeditions to a wide-ranging weekly scouting programme focused on community service projects, gaining important life skills and fun, our members have demonstrated inspirational enthusiasm and commitment. Some of the key activities include: - **Beavers:** Participated in nature walks, craft sessions, and many Beavers have spent nights away on Residential Camps in Autumn and in the Spring. Trips to Trampoline Parks, Promise renewals at Wildplace and oodles of fun with the youngest of our sections. - **Cubs:** September 2024. Highlights have been an evening at Aqua Park, plus some kayaking on the docks. we entered two teams in the District swimming gala. - **Scouts:** Highlights include a large 100+ member Camp at the Great Tower in the Lake District in Summer 2024. Residential camps at Huish Woods, Woodhouse and Brockmead. Hammock camping and expeditions. Sailing, Paddleboarding and Kayaking on the Harbourside, fantastic weekly programmes across 5 Troops on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. - **Focus on Traditional Scouting:** We continue to emphasize traditional Scouting activities that build essential life skills. Our programs continue to be designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring that as many young people as possible can benefit from the opportunities Scouting oHers. Throughout all our sections we remain committed to fostering resilience, teamwork, and leadership in our young members. ## Membership and Achievements We are proud to be a large and thriving Scout group, one of the largest in the County, and indeed South-West of England. The number of young people enjoying Scouting with us has remained strong, reflecting the vibrant and supportive community we have built. We continue to provide scouting to over 320 young people each week across most nights of the week, across both the Scout Hut and utilising the new Church Location next to the park. Notably, over 50 of our young members have achieved the highest awards in their respective sections, a testament to their hard work and dedication. ## Call for Volunteers As we look to the future, we recognize the need to increase the number of regular volunteers. Volunteering with the 63rd Bristol Scout Group is not only rewarding but also beneficial for personal growth. It oHers a chance to develop new skills, make lasting friendships, and contribute positively to the community. Without increased support, we cannot continue to provide Scouting at the level we are achieving currently. We encourage parents and community members to get involved and support our Group on a regular basis. Your time and eHort can make a significant diHerence in the lives of our young Scouts and the future of the Group. 6 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## Volunteer Team and Parent Community We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents and the entire Scouting community for their unwavering support. Your involvement and encouragement have been crucial to our success. Special thanks to our leaders and volunteers for their dedication and hard work. ## Looking Ahead We are excited about the year ahead and the new adventures it will bring. We also look forward to continuing to support the District with cross district events and camps. With your continued support, we look forward to another fantastic year of Scouting at the 63rd Bristol Scout Group. ## _Mike Evans and Matt Lloyd_ Group Lead Volunteers ## Chair’s Report 2024 - 2025 I was honoured to take on the role of Chair of the Trustee Board at the last AGM. Since then, it has been a privilege to work alongside such a committed team of volunteers, leaders and trustees to support the thriving community that is 63rd Bristol. This report summarises our collective progress since the last AGM and outlines some of the priorities ahead. ## Strong Foundations and Safe Scouting Our Group Lead Volunteers, Mike Evans and Matt Lloyd, have kept us regularly updated on the Group’s activities and operations, ensuring that safety, safeguarding, and training remain at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud that a full and varied programme continues across all sections – Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts – including recent highlights such as camping at Woodhouse and participation in the District swimming gala. ## Clear Board Priorities and Active Working Groups In November, the Trustee Board agreed a set of key strategic priorities for the next 12–24 months: Governance, Premises, People, Investment, Group Scout Leader succession planning, and creating a Young People’s Advisory Panel. Working groups were formed for each, and I’m pleased to report steady progress across the board. In particular, we’ve now approved a baseline budget for FY26, outlined plans for future investment of reserves, and progressed early steps toward a potential building project to secure the long-term future of our premises to support the Group. ## Improving Systems and Communications We’ve continued to embed new digital systems including the Scouts’ Transformation platform and Online Scout Manager, with a focus on improving communications, managing risk assessments, and simplifying administration. We’ve also introduced new governance policies, established clearer documentation and financial planning practices, and are in the process of improving our digital infrastructure and data security through shared drives and platforms. ## Financial Health and Future Investment for the year ahead. Our new Investment Working Group has developed a framework for ethical and prudent use of surplus funds, with an initial plan to diversify cash reserves over varying time horizons, pending final checks against Scout Association policies. 7 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## People and Premises Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the Group, and we continue to support their development through training and clearer guidance, especially in areas such as inclusion and neurodiversity. We’ve also begun a muchneeded conversation about capacity – particularly in Cubs – and launched a maintenance group to help care for our Scout Hut and grounds. Alongside this, the Premises Working Group is moving forward with plans for the construction of a new building, starting with appointing an architect in the coming months. ## Looking Ahead I’d like to thank every volunteer, leader, parent and trustee who helps make the 63rd a warm, welcoming and active part of the community. A special thanks to Andrew Stephenson and Julie Stephenson, who stepped down from the Board this year – their contributions have been deeply appreciated. confident we have the team and momentum to continue strengthening our Group for years to come. ## _Gareth Williams_ Chair, 63rd Bristol Scout Group Trustee Board 8 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## SECTION E - FINANCIAL REVIEW ## Reserves Policy The Group's policy on reserves is to hold suHicient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group Trustee Board considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to three months running costs, circa £25,000. ## Investment Policy The Group's has taken the decision not to invest any funds 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. 9 **63[rd] Bristol Trustee’s Annual Report** ## SECTION G - DECLARATION **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Trustee 1** **Print Name and Position** **GARETH WILLIAMS, CHAIR** **Signature** ## **Date** ## **Trustee 2** **Print Name and Position** **MIKE EVANS, GROUP LEAD VOLUNTEER** **Signature** **Date** 10 63[rd] Bristol Scout Group Annual Accounts 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025 |YEAR ON YEAR
