se 2025
This year numbers have been steady. wlth several whole site bookings over the 300 mark. Several
dlstricts have asked for the numbers to be increased but the site ha5 managed better all round.
Many Dlstrirts are now 50 large they are running several whole site camps to cover all sectlon&
OSM is nowin place and runnin£ - there have been a few issues aswe have gone through the year but
these havebeen sorted byAmanda. We are howevergettinzgroups booklng In on number and turnlng
up wlth more- so booklng on OSM 50 and turnlng up wlth I￿.
With the changesto numbersand also to the slte road. traffic15sue5 have been less thls season wlth the
local councll thanklng us for the support.
Let's hope for a reasonably dry wlnter thls year.
Slte Overall:
Evenin8 bookin8s are now at a very good level with very often 2 or 3 groups a night. The use of member
Districts open up for them selves has also worked well taklng the burden off the site crew.
We have been asked If we can run an open weekend next year so new leaders can visit and see what the
site ha5 to offer - this is to be planned.
Bulldln85:
Tollets.
Upgrade work is on8oin8 wlth most of the toilet blocks al be it painting etc. No major Issues this yearjust ware and
tear. Please can all Dlstdcts remlnd theirgroups thattolets must be deaned after evenln8 use and not left to the
sfce team.
The Lodg•:
New Led li8htlng is now in place both inside and out site of the lodge. hence redu(in8 the power usage. We have
been faced wlth a few Issues around the site boller but thb 6 in hand - may require to be replaced.
All safety checks completed - no major ￿sUeS.
Plne Cabln:
All well to date wlth the cabln. rnalnty decoratlon work and runnlng repair5.
Solar panels are ful￿ up and running on the cabin roof with Batteries in the Makn Hal.
All safety checks have been completed wlth no major issues. We will have to look at exit door to the kltchen and
lobby a5 they need to have safety locks fitted to albjw exit in an ernergenry.
General items:
We had six inudentsl accidents reported ￿ the last year. All artions cleared with no major issues h￿hlighted.
Over the comlng year we as a slte will have to look at a recydlng process for all the s￿e waste Includlng
food. We have until March 2027 to have this f ully up and running.
With more users on the site needing broadband ac￿5$ our current network is smiggling to cope. We are
therefore looking to hopefulfy move to a fibre feed option this will resofve all the issues.
We are a8ain looking to run a working weekend in the new year. This year we are going to assign Member
Dlstricts theirjobs to cover. If they cannot Cover the weekend. we will stdl expect them to be completed by that
Distritt.
Flnally a blg thankw to the slte crew ¥tho have hartl to keep the slte open thlsyear.

Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustses of the
SOLENT TRAININC CENTRE SCOUT GROUPIDISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL
I r8POrt on the accounts of the GrouplDistrict for the year ended 30 September 2025 vthiGh are set out on
pages 3 to 6.
Respectlve responsibilitles of trustees and examiner
As Ihe ¢harity's trustees you a￿ responsible for the preparation of the accounts., you consider that the audit
requirement of Section 43{2) of the Gharities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to
state, on the basis of procedures speafied in the General DireGtions given by the Charity Commissioners
under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of examlnerfs report
My examination was camed out in accordan￿ with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting re¢ords kept by the charity and
comparison of the accounts presented wtth those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts and seeknng explanations from you as trustees conceming any such
matters. The Pro￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil, and
consequently I do not expre$$ an audit O￿nIOn on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examlnef s statoment
In connection with my examination, no rnatter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounling records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act and
to prepare acGount$ which accord with the accounting records and
to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion. attenlion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reathed,
3. which gives me reasonable ¢ause to believe that in any material respect the accounting rules of the
Group'slDislrict'$ constitution have not teen met.
