GSL re ort 2025 I want to start by saying a massive thank you to our amazing Leaders, adult volunteers and Young Leaders for prnviding another year of amazing opportunities for our 146 young people. Thanks to their hard work we have had 8 Gold, 6 Silver, 10 Bronze and 3 Acorn Chief Scout Awards completed in the last year. 1705 badges have been awarded this year according to OSM'S badge report (a frightening £1705 worth of badges, or 2￿/0 of the money the group receive from subscriptions). Our Squirrels and Beavers attended at the annual Christingle service, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have all be on camps. Our young people have participated in loads of fantastic activities. Our Scouts went to Kent international this summer, and we have a good number of scouts signed up to go to Sweden with Arn)w District in 2026. We have continued to work hard fundraising for our new HQ. We have sold burgers and hot dogs at Funtssii run stalls at Merfest, Colden Common Fair, Fryern School fair and at the Paty on the Gree￿ marshalled at the Romsey Relay Marathoffj had quiz nights, done Christmas ScoutPost and continued selling through our Scoutmade shop, run another Scouts Fundraising Enterprise challenge,), sewed badges and collected foreign coins. We still don't currently have a fundraising teatn.. imagine what we could do if we did! In Squirrels our Leadership team has said good bye to Charlotte who has moved to Friday Beavers and has several new parent helpers. In Beavers, Carla has had her baby girl and will hopefully be rejoining us soon. In Scouts, Phil and Olly have left to open Gecko Explorers. Dave and Sarah are now running Monday Scouts and Jarnes has joined Chris to run our Wednesday Scouts. We are also blessed with a fantastic team of occasional parent helpers who step in as needed to ensure all Sections are able to continue to safely. In addition to our adult volunteers, we have a fantastic team of young leaders who help our 9eetiong.

The accounts are prepared on 8 receipts and payments basiswhich means there is no attemptto"m8tch" income with expenditure. No account is made for valuing property or equipment held or accruingiprep8ying costs. This is usual practise for a small Charity. and is the same basig as previous ye8rs'. As you will observe from the accounts, overallsubscriptions less"normal" weekly meeting costs are virtuaLly un¢h8nged from 2023 at £16.55212023-£16.7421. However. the individu81 sections do showyearon yearfluctuation due to the numbers on the role in each section. The Group's oper8ting costs are £13,372 and also very similarto lastyear12023- £12,833). Netgroup clothing costs are £6712023- 184). This should be expected to be close to zero. but due to the timingof clothing purchases with sales to group members, 8 8m811 positive or negative figure can be expected. Group camps and activities show a small net income of £1,413 {2023- £1.513}. Again this should be expected to be close to zero. However, due to al timing differences in the income and expenditure. bl the factthat a smallsurplus is included when charging out the cost of these activities to cover contingencies and to pay Go Cardless fees, a small income is expected. The resulting net Income from ScoutActivities was £4.526 compared with £5.239 last year. Hut Hire income wa8 down £2.26k on 2023 at £12.5K. As mentioned at iastyear's AGM this was expected and is due to the loss ofthe PrayerGroup income from Friday letting. Overall the costs of runningthe hut 8t £9.2K are slightly lowerthan 2023 {£10.4KI, mainly due to less beingspent on maintenance in 2024. This $8vingc8nnot be assumed to continue 8Sthe expenditure is incurred as and when r8qulred. 2025 costs have increased due to the rising cost of the supply of water. The nèt Cogt of financing the charity is É1.1 K {2023 ~ £0.7k). Thls Inor66so 18 due the gre8ter use of Go Cardless-the method used to collect subscription and scout activities. Donation Income at £4.1 K is similarto 2023 {£3.7K). Big Build net don8tions are £23.5K compared with £15.SKfrom theye8r before. 2023 saw income land expenditure} from the Woggie Jogie. However, 2024 shows the GiftAid income129.3KI which is received in the year after that event. Specific grants for the Big Build 8re £7.4K12023- £4.2KI. The overaLI $urplus from allacttvities is £34.6K compared with 228.2K in 2023. As stated above. £23.5K of that surplus relates to Big Build with the balance1£11.1 Kl relatingto the Gen8r81 Fund. In summary, the accumulated Big Build Fund nowstands 8t£138.5K and the General Fund at £34.7K It is worth notingthat in 2024 an attempt has been made to segregate the funds held for the BIG Build into interest paying accounts. The income from these investments should make a material difference in nextyear's accounts.
