## **21[st] Romsey (Nursling & Rownhams) Scout Group** ## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022 ## Reference details Registered charity number: 302269 Scout Association registration number: 10014441 Website: https://21stromsey.co.uk/21stromseyscouts/ Address of headquarters: Peter Digby Scout HQ, Joe Bigwood Close Nursling, Southampton, SO16 0YL ## Objectives and activities 21[st] Romsey Scout Group (“the Group”) is part of the national Scout Association[1] and operates within the framework given in its “Policy, Organisation and Rules” (P.O.R.)[2] . The purpose of Scouting is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. The aims of the Scout Association are achieved by providing an enjoyable and attractive programme of progressive training, which is guided by the following 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 difference; we co-operate with others and make friends. The Group operates for the benefit of young people, between the ages of 5¾ and 14½ years, from any background, regardless of gender, faith or personal circumstances, and thus meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria. We have two Beaver sections (core age range 6 to 8 years), two Cub sections (8 to 10½ years) and two Scout sections (10½ to 14 years). Each section is overseen by an adult leadership team that, in consultation with the young people, devises a programme of training that delivers the purpose and is relevant to the age-group. This enables the young people to attain the Scout Association awards relevant to their section. 1 The principal awards are divided into two groups: - Challenge Awards: these are core badges that cover areas such as outdoor and indoor skills, teamwork, leadership, world-awareness and adventure. - Activity Badges: a wide range of badges enabling the young person to show proficiency in almost any sport or hobby that might interest them, or additional skills in areas such as camping, navigation and first-aid. Attaining all the Challenge Awards and a sufficient number of Activity Badges for their age-group leads to the Chief Scout Award for their section – Bronze, Silver or Gold for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, respectively. An Explorer Scout section (14 to 17 years), which is the responsibility of the Scouting District, meets at our HQ and links with us through a partnership agreement. The Group also oversees the activities of a Scouting Rifle Club. ## Achievements and performance The following is a brief summary of the year. Further information can be found on our website. - From April 2021 until September some of the Covid rules relaxed slightly so we could meet but only socially distanced and the leaders provided a great programme despite these restrictions. - In September 2021 we were given the green light to return to face to face sessions with no restrictions and since then all sections have been busy implementing their various programmes and even having sleepovers. - The annual census of January 2022 showed that the number of young people has increased to 154 which is a 29% increase on last year. This total was made up of 47 Beavers, 65 Cubs and 42 Scouts. Comparison with last year (34, 55, 30 respectively) shows that the increase was spread across all sections and the Scout numbers were helped by the introduction of our second Scout Troop in January. - The number of adult uniformed leaders has increased to 31, a net gain of five. - As the Covid restrictions began to be relaxed the Rifle Club commenced their monthly Saturday club and had a few external hires as well. The National Target Sprint event was held at the HQ and was well attended. - Last year the group invested money into the purchase of Archery and Tomahawk equipment and this year saw the start of external hires for both of these activities. 2 - The Executive Committee has overseen the administrative and practical running of the HQ during the relaxation of lockdown and getting the HQ ready for the return of each section and external hirers. - We have a new Quartermaster who has immediately sorted out the store, containers and created a meeting place in the top floor storage area. - The HQ has also undergone a fire safety check with several fire extinguishers replaced and new types identified and installed. - The group is grateful to all those who have provided additional financial support during this year, including those who have helped with fundraising events and sourcing grants. 3 ## Structure, governance and management 21[st] Romsey Scout Group is governed by the Policy, Organisation and Rules (P.O.R.)[2] of the Scout Association, which provides the framework in which all U.K. Scouting operates. As a charity the Group is also governed by Charity Commission legislation. Within the Group there are a number of adult leaders and supporters, who give their time and expertise voluntarily, without remuneration, to help the development of young people. The Group is led by the Group Scout Leader, whose role is to co-ordinate the Group’s activities and to ensure continuity and development. All leaders and trustees are subject to satisfactory DBS checks and are required to undergo training that is appropriate for their role. This includes ongoing refresher courses in safety and safeguarding every 3 years. In addition, leaders are required to have first aid training (First Response) every 3 years. Completion of training modules is recorded on a national database, which is constantly monitored to ensure that standards are maintained. ## Trustees The Group’s Executive Committee are the trustees of the charity. The Committee consists of the Group Scout Leader (GSL), the Leader of each of the Group’s sections, the Leader of the Explorer Scout Unit that is linked with the Group, and other members who are appointed in accordance with the rules and guidance of the Scout Association[3] . The Committee meets regularly to fulfil the duties listed below. Between April 2021 and February 2022 the Committee met by Zoom, and ‘in person’ meetings recommenced in March 2022. Members of the Executive Committee act collectively as charity trustees of the Scout Group, and in the best interests of its members to: - comply with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association; - comply with Charity legislation; - protect and maintain the property and equipment owned by and/or used by the Group; - manage the Group’s finances; - arrange appropriate insurance for people, property and equipment; - provide sufficient resources for Scouting to operate and thrive. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting recruitment, other adult support, and fundraising activities; - promote and support the development of Scouting in the local area; - manage and implement the Safety Policy locally; - ensure that a positive image of Scouting exists in the local community; - appoint and manage the operation of any sub-committees, including appointing Chairpersons to lead the sub-committees; - appoint Group advisers, other than those who are elected; - ensure that Young People are meaningfully involved in decision making at all levels within the Group. 4 The following served as trustees during the year ending 31 March 2022. Unless otherwise indicated they were appointed prior to 1 April 2021 and re-appointed at the AGM held on 23[rd] June 2021 and held using Zoom when it became apparent that a normal meeting would not be possible. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Sector breakdown of income and expenditure Comparison to the previous year it shows clearly that the income relied upon grants and donations where, this year, since restarting in September 2021, we have received monthly membership subscriptions again. It also shows with the expenditure comparison that all sections were running programmes due to the larger proportion of expense this year: 6 ## Reserves policy The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the Group should income and fundraising activities fall short of running costs. The trustees consider that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 4 to 6 months of running costs in the General Fund to cover imminent payments and urgent building repairs should they arise. At 31 March 2022 the balance stood at £15,961, which satisfies this policy. The Group Executive Committee also considers it prudent to hold two “designated” funds to ensure that there are adequate reserves to maintain the HQ and equipment to satisfactory standards, as detailed in the notes to the accounts. ## Investment policy The Group has adopted a low-risk strategy to investment, keeping funds in mainstream banks. At 31 March 2022 £9,333 was held in a Virgin deposit account and £41,612 in a Virgin notice account. The majority of the remainder was held in a TSB current account, with minor amounts in cash and on preloaded Equals cards. ## Signatories to bank accounts Payments or withdrawals from the Group’s bank accounts require authorisation by two of the following people: TSB current account: Any two from Andy Pickles, Rebecca Fouch, Sharon Archer and Claire McCann. Virgin accounts: Any two from Andy Pickles, Claire McCann and Randell McKay. Independent examiner of accounts Linda Purkess, 1 Fairway Gardens, SO16 8JJ ## Declaration The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above. Signed on behalf of the Trustees: _Approved at the meeting of the Executive Committee held on 14[th] June 2022 – the Secretary of the Scout Group holds the original, signed copy._ Name: Rebecca Helen Fouch Position: Chair of Executive Committee Date: 7 ## Glossary and references 1.

The trustees consider that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 4 to 6 months of running costs in the General Fund to cover imminent payments and urgent building repairs should they arise. At 31 March 2022 the balance stood at £15,961, which satisfies this policy. Page 5 **21st ROMSEY (NURSLING & ROWNHAMS) SCOUT GROUP CHARITY NUMBER: 302269 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st March 2022** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued)** ## **5) RESTRICTED FUNDS** ## **Section Funds - Group Camp Fund - Rifle Club** Each section of the Scout Group (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts) and the Rifle club has a separate treasurer. Subscriptions are received by each section for the running costs of that section. These sums are for use by the individual section only, and do not form part of the General funds of the Group. The Group Camp fund is used for the Group camp and is also used to support any section where camp costs are greater than income. ## **Camping Equipment Fund** This fund is for the purchase of camping equipment from grants made which are restricted for this purpose. |**RECEIPTS**
