Trustees Report 2021
New members have been welcomed in all sections. The group is back to face to face meetings. There are ongoing improvements to the upper floor of the hall and the kitchen. The group are looking for new adult leaders and members of the Executive Committee. All sections are near capacity. There is room to expand but only if there are additional adult leaders
Beavers: Meetings continued via Zoom during Lockdown. Now back face to face. 24 regular attenders. Parents rota for helping at meetings. Attended a virtual camp during the summer. One Beaver has achieved the Chief Scout Bronze Award.
Cubs: Meetings continued via Zoom during Lockdown. Now back face to face. 22 on register. Nearing capacity. Badges had been achieved during the year. During the summer attended an ‘Almost Camp’ held over 3 days.
Scouts: This year the Scouts have gone from strength to strength. Reopened last October with 4 scouts to now when we have 16. Currently only have 3 spaces left. The 1st Crystal Palace were thanked for helping the unit to reopen and giving support until July when more adults joined the team. There has been lots of badgework, this year Scouts have earned 108 badges and so far this term they have earned 28 badges, and are currently doing their master at arms badge which they picked. They are also painting the upper hall to raise money as they would like to do their climbers badge next term. During the year they have had opportunities to do a camp, kayaking, hike and in two weeks are going on a district wide game. 2021 has been a year of challenges but the Scouts have risen to them and are looking strong.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of 61[st] Croydon Scout Group
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the 61[st] Croydon Scout Group for the year ended 31[st] December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the 61[st] Croydon Scout Group you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the 61[st] Croydon Scout Group’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the 61[st] Croydon Scout Group as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
