						The Values ofScouting
						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 ofScouting 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.

Summary	Summary	of	the main achievements	the main achievements	the main achievements	the main achievements	of	Group activities included a birthday bowling event to celebrate
			toe charity		during the year			a return tc normal scouting after COVID restrictions lifted. AII sections enjoyed Family Camp and participated in the
								traditional Remembrance Day service. The Scouts section
								organised a week long camp in Wales for their summer
								expedition, as welf as a return to the traditional spring camp
								under canvas and cooking on open fires. Community activities
								included litter picking in Cambeiwell and a visit to a local care
								home. Cuba came second in the district football competition,
								attended District science badge day and at least half ofthe 22
								cube attending spring camp were first time campers. The
								Beavers took part in the District hike, had a sleepover, took
								part in the Big Garden Bird Watch for their animal friend badge
								and earned their money skills badge by attending a trading
								post evening.
Briefstatement			ofthe	charity's		policy on		Reserves Policy
reserves
								The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
								to continue the charitable activities ofthe group should income
								and fundraising fall short. The Group Executive considers that
								the group should hold the following sums: 614,210 for one year's rent (estimated sum 67,500 in light of
								rent review due this year), garage rent (f1,200 for 23/22),
								utilities (62,200), van expenses (Et,700) and insurance
								(61,610) 61,500 for cost of a D1E driving qualification for J Chiles to
								allow him to drive the minivan and trailer
								64,000 towards purchase of a newer minivan when we
								consider the current vehicle needs to be replaced, reflecting
								annual depreciation in value ofcurrent minivan
								f5,000 for estimated cost of repairs to restore electricity
								supply to the hall and 62,100for renting alternative premises
								f1,000 for a group wide event at no cost to members in May
								2023
								The Group considers it should hold approximately 615,000 in
								general funds to ensure continued operational security. Affer
								designated funds and approximately 66,175 in funds collected
								in 2022/23 for two spring camps and a summer camp being
								held in 2023/24 for which expenses have not yet been
								incurred, reserves of approximately F22,515were held against
								this at year end. This is above the level required for operating
								expenses. However this can be explained by higher net
								income than expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic, when
								we were unable to run our normal activities. We operated at a
								small loss this financial year.
Quantify	and	explain		any	designations
Details of any (circumstances			funds plus	materially steps to		in deficit eliminate)		We operated at a small loss of62,390 this financial year. This does not threaten the Group's viability but we will keep membership fees and activity charges under review in
								2023/24 and consider hiring the hall more regularly to
								increase income.
