ort for the

The resourcefullness and dedication of the Leadership team meant that 2024 was another successful year for the group.
The scouting progratnme was strong with with a variety olactivities and camp5.
The Group, at District census time, had 104 young persons between the ages 016 and 14 in uniforni regularly
attending and following Scouting programtnes.
The unifortned sections led by Leaders continue to be stable in numbers, the annual capitation
costs for the Group was £6.68? Many thanks go to all those that have helped the Group achieve another
successful year.
Financial Report 2023-2024
The Group spent grants from Harrow Council totaling £5,125 in 2024 and £5,9iO in 202).
All of the grants recived have now been fully uti15ed in the year.
General donations received for the use olthe Scout activities were £210.
A backdated Gift Aid claim will be made lor the year. I would urge all parents to sign up.
The Group contine to have use of St. Peters Church hall for Beaver and Cub meetings as well as some Scout meetings.
The Cabin in High Street Wealdstone ha5 also been used for Group activities.
Unfotunately, there was no rental income from the hire of the Cabin.
Capitation money ￿'aS collected throughout the year on behalf of our members and paid to the
Harrow & Wealdstone District in March, achieving the full discount for early pa}'ment.
In May 2023 the group received £116,482 from the estate olmr Ashley Williams (Ash).
Ash was a long serviving and highly respected individual within the scouting association and the group will be forever
grateful for his kind gesture. He is dearly missed by us all.
The cash balance of funds in the Group account at the end of the year amounted to £135,764.
This is a regarded as a healthy position as the Trustees believe that a sufficient to cover the Admin costs for a year.
None of the Trustees or persons connected ivith them received any remuneration from the Group as a result of
their office during the year ended 31 st March 2024.
The Scrutineer received no fee lor reporting on the Accounts during the year ended 315t March 2024 and has
agreed continue to continue lor next year on a voluntary basis.
The Group does not consider itself to have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments.
The Group has therefore adopted a risk averse Strategy to investment. All Group Fund5 are held
in cash using Natwest Bank plc.
The Group is a trust established under the rules which are common to all Groups.
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Polic)., Organisation & Rules of the Scout Association.

Inde
endent Examiner's Re
ort to the Trustees of the 8th119th Harrow Scout Grou
I report on Ihe accounts of the Group for the year ended 3 1st March 2024 which are set oul on pages I to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiller
The Group trustees are responsible for ihe preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required
for this year (under section 43 {2) of the Charities Act 199J), (the 199J .4ct), and that an independenl examination
is needed.
It is my respnsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under Section 43 (3) (a) of the 1993 Act)-
To follow the procedure5 laid in the General Directions given by the Charity Comrnissioners
(under section 43 (7) of the 1993 Act)- and
To sttte whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Genernl Direction given by the c.harity 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 audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on
the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's ststement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come io my attention.
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep
accounting records in accordance M'ith section 41 of the 1993 ACL and to prepare accounts which
accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been met. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
