Risk and Internal
Control (continued)
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
ofactivities 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
and Ior look for alternative		 sources
ofgrants or other income.
Reduction or loss ofleaders. The Group is totally reliant upon
volunteers
to run and administer
the activities of all sections.		 Ifthere
was a reduction
in the number
ofleaders to an unacceptable		 level in a
particular
section or the Group as a whole, then there would		 have to
be a contraction,
consolidation
orclosure ofa section. In the		 worst
case scenario, the complete closure ofthe Group.
Reduction or loss ofmembers. The Group provides
activities for all
young people aged 6to 14.Ifthere was a reduction
in membership		 in
a particular
section orthe Group as whole, then there would		 have to

case scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
COVID-19. COVID-19 has remained
present
during the year		 under
review. As govemrnent-imposed
restrictions eased, more 'normality'		 to
life returned,
with the Group able to run an increased
number		 of 'in
person' activities and events. The Group has continued
to follow 'The
Scouts Framework'
in relation to COVID-19 throughout
the year. This
framework
covers when 'physical'
meetings or activities are		 permitted,
together
with legal and liability conditions
and control measures
for
everyone
within the Group to follow.

Brief statement
ofthe charity's
reserves and investments		 policy on Reserves Policy
The
Group's
policy
on reserves
is to
hold
sufficient
resources		 to
continue
the
charitable
activities
of the group
should
income		 from
subscriptions,
hall hire, fundraising
activities and other income		 sources
fall short.
Given
the Group
ownership
of the Headquarters		 building,
sufficient reserves
to cover on-going
maintenance
and repair		 are also
required.
Investment
Policy
The Group's Income and Expenditure
is relatively
small and as		 a
consequence,
the Group, does not have sufficient 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.

Plans for future periods The Group vary much hopes that a full programme
of 'in person'
activities, meetings
and events
will continue to be possible during		 the
next financia year.
