STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Group's goveming documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist
of a Royal Charter, which in tum gives authoiity to the Bye Laws of the Association
and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Asso¢iab"on.
The Group is a Trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts
The Trustees are appointed in accordan￿ with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of
The Scout Association.
The Group is managed by the Group Execub've Committee, the members of which
are the 'Charity Trustees. of Ihe 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 retums
to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Committee consists of three irKJependent representatives, Chair. Treasurer and
Se¢￿tary together with the Group Scout Leader, individual section leaders (if opted
to take on the responsibility) and parents representation and meets every two
months.
Members of the Executive Committee complete 'Essential Infomiation for Executive
Committee, training within the first 5 months of joining the committee.
This Group Executs"ve Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in
meeting the responsibilities of the appointrnents and is responsible for..

Rlsk and Internal Control
The Group Executve Committee has identified the major risks to which they believe
the Group is exposed, these have ￿en reviewed and systems have been
established to mitsgate against them. The main areas of con￿rn that have been
identified are..
Damage to the building, property and equipment The Group would request the use
of buildings. propety and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the
Church. Community Centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal

arrangements exist with these organisats"ons. The Group has sufficient buildings and
contents Insuran￿ in Pla￿ to mits.gate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders. helpers, supporters and members. The Group, through the
capitation fees, contributes to the Scout Association's nakn.onal accident insuran
policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all athvibes.
Reduced income from fund raising The Group is primarily reliant upon income from
subscriptions and fijndraising. 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 pennanendy.
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 reducb.on 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 dosure of a section. In the
worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members The Group prowdes activities for all young people
aged 6 to 18. 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
1st Osterley Scout Group has a long and honourable tradÈtion of providing an
outstsnding scouting programme for young people aged 6 to 25 in the local
community. The Group has been established Sin￿ 1928 and in the current premises
since 1954.
1 St Osterley Scout Group delivers Scouting to over 200 young people every week.
Scouting exists to acbvely engage and support young people in their personal
development, empowering them to make a posib've contribution to society Our
exciting programmes across Beaver Scout, Cub s￿Ut, Scout, and Explorer Scout
sections, give young people from 6 to 25 the opportunity to experien￿ and
understand other cultures, and challenges them to ty new athvities and outdoor
experiences.
The Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Sections continue to function at fvll
capacity thanks largely to a fantastc volunteer leadership team. Outdoor activities
fsgure significantly in all Sections with ovemight residential experiences offered to all.
This year has seen a slow recovery Sin￿ the period of Covid with finances and
attendance numbers recovering to pre•covid levels. However. when considering the
financial situation. ifwe exclude the generous donations of £5,994 the group would
have made a loss of £3,485 of income less expenditure.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment Policy
The Group does not have sufficient fiJnds to invest in longer temi investments. The
Group has, therefore, adopted a risk adverse strategy to the investment of its fijnds.
All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societs'es.
Reserves Policy
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.
The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a sum
equivalent to 12 months running costs, Circa £30,000.
The Group held reseNes of approximately £100,558 at this year end, however
approximately £28,077 sits in designated fijnds for the redevelopment of the Scout
Centre.
