Description of the charity’s trusts

Type of governing document
(e.g. trust deed, constitution)
Trustee selection methods
(e.g. appointed by, elected by)
How the charity is constituted
(e.g. trust, association, company)
The Group's governing documents are those of the Scout
Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn
gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The
Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The Group is a trust established under The Scout Association
rules, which are common to all Scouts.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice)
You may choose to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee,
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 Committee consists of a minimum of 3 independent
representatives, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with
the Group Scout Leader and parent representatives, and
meets every month.
Members of the Executive Committee complete_'Essential_
Information for Executive Committee' training within the first 5
months of joining the committee.
This Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group
Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the
appointment and is responsible for:
The maintenance of Group property;
The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance;
The insurance of persons, property and equipment;
Group public occasions;
Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult
support;
Appointing any sub committees that may be required;
Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than
those who are elected.
Policies and procedures adopted for:
a) the induction and training of trustees; b) trustee' consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them

Section B

Structure, governance and management (continued) Risk and Internal Control The Group Executive Committee has identified the major

2

risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are: Damage to the building, property and equipment. If these were unavailable, the Group would request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as churches and other Scout Groups. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group, through the capitation fees, contributes to the Scout Association's national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. Additional insurance is held for those helpers who are not coverd by the Scout Assocition policy. Reduced income from 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 Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the Group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently. 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 sections. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 14 (note that the Osborne SEN section does have some scouts who are over 14 years - this has been carefully considered by the GSL, and the DC is aware - currently there is no appropriate Explorer provision for these people, and their needs, as well as the needs of the others in the section, are being met and managed in a safe and considered manner). 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. Risk and Internal Control 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 comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set
out in its governing document
Summary of the main activities in relation
to these objects
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 difference; 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 and have fun
- take part in activities indoors and outdoors
- learn by doing
- share in spiritual reflection
- take responsibility and make choices
- undertake new and challenging activities
- make and live by their Promise.
The Group has seven sections: two Beaver Colonies, two
Cub Packs and three Scout Troops. They all meet weekly
during term-time, plus they all have a programme of camps
throughout the year. The Sections have the use of the Scout
Hut (the Special Educational Needs Scout Troop use the
Osborne school for their meetings), although they all plan to
be out and about in the local area as much as possible,
particularly during the Summer.
The Group has the opportunity to come together on a number
of occasions throughout the year. Remembrance Sunday
and Christmas carols are both hosted by in local churches.
The Annual General Meeting is usually combined with a
social event, bringing families together.

Additional details of the objectives and activities (optional information but encouraged as best practice)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: No formal group policy exists for these aspects - they are • policy on grant making; considered by the Executive on a case by case basis. They • contribution made by volunteers; may well become the subject of group policy in due course. • policy on investments. Public benefit statement The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.

to live and operate despite the COVID-19 Pandemic. Face-to-
face scouting was permitted, although restrictions prevented
us from holding our traditional Group events in the normal
way, including the Remembrance Day Service and the
Christmas Carol Service (albeit we did manage to have a
representative flag party at the Remembrance Service).
Attendance was mostly good, with strong demand for
activities and camps. There was no shortage of Young
People wanting the join the Group, and there was an
encouraging number of new volunteers for various roles.
Some long-standing leaders resigned, including most of the
leadership team for Vikings Cubs, but new volunteers have
stepped in, and so all the Sections have continued to thrive.
Increased emphasis on leader training and on Risk
Assessments has become accepted as part of the routine,
with new volunteers accepting this as normal.
There has been more collaboration between the pairs of
Summary of the main achievements of
Sections, with the Beavers, Cubs and Scout sections
the charity during the year
planning together and sharing the load of preparation for
activities. Improved use of the On-Line Scout Manager
application has reduced some of the burden of administration
and helped with sharing of resources.
I am encouraged by the level of volunteering and
commitment by adults, which is delivering a full range of
programme activities for the Young People in our community,
preparing them for life and also providing rewarding
opportunity for the adults themselves. The Groups feels
strong and confident at a time of real need.
Section E Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves Reserves Policy
----- End of picture text -----

5

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. This means the Group holds a sum equivalent to approximately 1 year ordinary subscription income - approximately £18,000. The Group has no staff wages or pensions to maintain a reserve for. The trustees note that, in addition to maintaining a scouting programme, we must ensure that the scout HQ remains available for the use of a pre-school during the daytime in accordance with our commitments to Hampshire County Council in respect of their grant funding for the 2014 rebuilding programme. The Group’s largest sources of revenue in normal times are membership subscriptions, and the renting out of 1st Place when not being used for scouting. The Group maintains business continuity insurance to mitigate the risk to this revenue in the event that the building was unavailable (due to fire etc.), but it is not possible to insure against the business risks of the nursery itself. Asset Replacement Policy The Group estimates that the average operating life of its equipment assets (camping equipment etc.) is around 10 years. Accordingly it budgets 10% of the insured value of those assets annually towards replacement. Any unspent equipment budget from one year is rolled in to the equipment budget for the next year. The Scout HQ Building, 1st Place, was substantially refurbished in 2014, financed by a combination of the established Group building fund, dedicated fundraising, grants and a loan from the Scout Association. The trustees consider that with appropriate maintenance they can expect an operating life of 40 years (to 2054) before a full renewal would be required. However, it is noted that the lease on the site expires on 1 June 2044, so we cannot with complete confidence plan on using the building for its full lifetime. Our accommodation from 2044 will depend critically on the support of the landlord (Winchester City Council) to extend the lease, or the availability of land elsewhere and funding to make use of it. With that in mind, the executive work with 25 years from refurbishment as a planning horizon, and for purpose of reporting asset value in the annual accounts.

6

In the first years of this plan, the trustees’ financial focus was
to finance as many of the deferred optional build elements
(movable partition (2015) and external stores (2017)) as was
determined as affordable at the time and to clear the debt
incurred in the 2014 rebuild. The remainder of the loan was
repaid in 2021.
In the coming years the trustees will aim to complete such of
the remining optional elements of the rebuild (such as the
hard path along the front of the building) as they deem
appropriate at the time, and then commit accumulated
surpluses to form a building replacement fund in anticipation
of the need to finance a move in 2044, or a
rebuild/refurbishment a few years later.
It is anticipated that the building replacement fund alone
would not be sufficient to replace the building. The
expectation is that the trustees will assess the costs of
rebuilding and look for additional sources of finance (grants,
fund raising, loans) as may be required starting 2039.

Further financial review details (optional information)
Youmay chooseto include additional
information, where relevant, about:
• the charity’s principal sources of funds
(including any fundraising);
• how expenditure has supported the key
objectives of the charity;
• investment policy and objectives;
The Building Fund is a longer term proposition however, and
the Group Executive considers that the use of equity
investments will be necessary to provide an appropriate level
of return, particularly in a climate of higher inflation rates.
The target is to achieve a fund of £100,000 by 2040. The
appropriateness of the target will be reviewed annually.
Investment Policy (Specimen 1)

To date the group has had insufficient funds to invest 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 or The Scout
Association's Short Term Investment Service.


The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank
balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group
obtains maximum value and income from its banking
arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an
account that requires a period of notice before funds may be
withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive considers
the cash flow requirements.

Section F Other Optional Information

Plans for future periods (details of any significant activities planned to achieve them)

1st Winchester Scout Group is essentially operating 'at capacity'. The Scout Hut is used each weekday evening by one or two sections as well as by Explorers. There is no scope for an additional beaver, cub or scout section in the weekly programme at the Hut. The two Beaver colonies, two Cub packs and two Scout troops make up a pipeline that can accommodate children from 6 to 14 and allows for flexibility by offering different sections and evenings at each stage. Growing the movement, a key part of the Scout Association Strategy, is therefore achieved by supporting the growth of other Groups. In this period, support has been provided to the 2nd Winchester Scouts through the extension of the Exec and GSL to provide oversight.

Notes:

  1. 1st Winchester Group Accounts includes the Osborne Scout Troop, though it is anticipated Osborne will separate out as an independent group/charity in the foreseeable future. A separate bank account was opened for Osborne in 2021, though some of Osborne's affairs still run through the group account (subscriptions in particular).

  2. Building values straight line depreciated over 25 years (starting at £300 000 as 2015 insured value after rebuild for the scout HQ, and £28 000 from 2017 for the stores building).

  3. Equipment shown at insured value

  4. The group took out a loan from the Scout Association during 2014 to fund the rebuilding of the Scout HQ. Interest only was payable in December of 2014, with the capital repayable in equal parts in the December of each of the following 10 years, along with the interest due for the year. The balance of the loan was rescheduled in 2018 for repayment over 10 years to December 2028, but repaid in full (early) in 2021.

  5. Cheques we had issued but which had not been presented to our bank at 31 March, and advance payments made.

  6. The group received a grant of £125000 from Hampshire County Council during 2014, conditional on making the scout HQ available for the use of a pre-school during term time week days for twenty five years. The grant agreement has a claw-back provision making the group liable to repay money related to the value of the grant and the value of the building if it does not make the building so available. As this is a contingent liability, no figure is factored in to the net assets calculation.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the 1[ST] Winchester Scout Group

I report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Receipts and Payments Statement, Balance Sheet and related notes set out on pages 1-4

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Group’s/District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention ( ~~other than that disclosed below~~ *):

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act ;and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

  5. Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply

Notes:

  1. 1st Winchester Group Accounts includes the Osborne Scout Troop, though it is anticipated Osborne will separate out as an independent group/charity in the foreseeable future. A separate bank account was opened for Osborne in 2021, though some of Osborne's affairs still run through the group account (subscriptions in particular).

  2. Building values straight line depreciated over 25 years (starting at £300 000 as 2015 insured value after rebuild for the scout HQ, and £28 000 from 2017 for the stores building).

  3. Equipment shown at insured value

  4. The group took out a loan from the Scout Association during 2014 to fund the rebuilding of the Scout HQ. Interest only was payable in December of 2014, with the capital repayable in equal parts in the December of each of the following 10 years, along with the interest due for the year. The balance of the loan was rescheduled in 2018 for repayment over 10 years to December 2028, but repaid in full (early) in 2021.

  5. Cheques we had issued but which had not been presented to our bank at 31 March, and advance payments made.

  6. The group received a grant of £125000 from Hampshire County Council during 2014, conditional on making the scout HQ available for the use of a pre-school during term time week days for twenty five years. The grant agreement has a claw-back provision making the group liable to repay money related to the value of the grant and the value of the building if it does not make the building so available. As this is a contingent liability, no figure is factored in to the net assets calculation.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the 1[ST] Winchester Scout Group

I report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Receipts and Payments Statement, Balance Sheet and related notes set out on pages 1-4

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Group’s/District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention ( ~~other than that disclosed below~~ *):

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act ;and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

  5. Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply
