Registered charity number: 302269

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 4 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 Squirrel sections (core age range 4 to 6 years), two Beaver sections (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 which, in consultation with the young people, devises an enjoyable 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 – Acorn, Bronze, Silver or Gold for Squirrels, 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 a sub-section that engages in target activities: shooting, archery, crossbow and throwing-axes.
Achievements and performance
The following is a summary of the year. Further information can be found on our website.
-
The section leaders continue to provide active programmes, resulting in the award of many Activity Badges.
-
Owing to the residual effect of Covid-19 restrictions, over the past few years the young people have not been able to achieve as many Challenge Badges and Chief Scout Awards. However, the sections have been busy rectifying this situation.
-
Our first Squirrel section, for our youngest members, opened in September 2022, with a second opening in April 2023. Since then some of the children have progressed to achieve the Chief Scout Acorn Award – the highest award for the age group and the first ever issued by the Group. The opening of the second Drey also means that our Group now has two sections for each of the age ranges.
-
The Group held its first Group campfire, when all our young people, leaders and nonuniformed supporters were invited to join together. This was highly successful, being enjoyed by all sections, so will become a bi-annual event.
-
Three Explorers who were previously members of our Group attended the 2023 World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. A further five participated in Project 23, joining nearly 200 others from around Hampshire on a road trip through Europe.
-
At the time of the January 2024 census we recorded a total of 165 youth members and 54 adults (35 uniformed leaders within sections and 19 other supporters). With 219 members we became the largest Group in Romsey District. During the 5 months since the census we have continued to grow, currently having 172 young people and 58 adults.
-
Gaining new leaders in various sections has helped us to provide an engaging programme for our young people. However, having a few more leaders in our younger sections would be beneficial.
2
-
Besides the fantastic work they do locally our leaders actively support Scouting outside of our Group: several are Assistant District Commissioners, leading the organisation of District-wide events for their section. Our Target Sports team are a resource, providing opportunities for the young people of other Groups to gain experience of these skills.
-
The Group Trustee Board has overseen the administration and practical running of the HQ. Besides routine matters, the following projects were undertaken:
-
The fire circle has been completed, with an improved surround and seating
-
An LED monitor has been installed, replacing the need for a projector and screen
-
Doors and gates are now keyless, with a new locking system on the main door
-
oNew security cameras have been installed -
In addition to regular maintenance tasks, some re-painting has been undertaken
-
A shed has been installed in which to store maintenance equipment
-
The uneven, dusty ground under the gazebo has been levelled and covered with shingle
-
Several ageing tents have been replaced and additional ones purchased to accommodate our growing Group
-
The leaders and Trustee Board are grateful to all those who have supported our maintenance and fund-raising events and those who have provided additional financial support during this sometimes challenging, but always successful, year.

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 UK Scouting operates. As a charity the Group is also governed by Charity Commission legislation. Note that between 2023 and 2025 the national Scout Association is introducing changes to the structure which are designed to enhance the governance arrangements of Scout Groups, at the same time creating more flexible opportunities for adults to participate. Most of the changes will take place from the AGM to be held on 11 July 2024; the following is the situation as it stands on 31 March 2024.
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 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
In accordance with the changes mentioned above, from the 2023 AGM the Group’s Executive Committee was renamed the Trustee Board, which better reflects its responsibilities in that area. The Board currently 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] . Further changes will take place from the 2024 AGM[4] .
Between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024 the Board met seven times to 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.

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 2024 the balance stood at £9,762, which satisfies this policy with a considerable additional margin.
The Group Trustee Board 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 2024 £10,160 was held in a Virgin deposit account and £32,035 in a Virgin notice account. The majority of the remainder was held in a TSB current account, with minor amounts in cash and on pre-loaded Equals cards.
Signatories to bank accounts
Payments or withdrawals from the Group’s bank accounts require authorisation by two of the following: TSB current account: Any two from Jason Phelps, Rebecca Fouch, Sharon Archer, Randell McKay, Julie Nash Virgin accounts: Any two from Randell McKay, Andy Pickles, Claire McCann, Lisa Mallen

TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE ACCOUNTS
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a Report of the Trustees and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP);
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the
-
Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
