Merger of Countles On 13, July 2024 the Counties of Greater London South (covering the London Boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Royal Greenwich and Wandsworthl and Greater London South-East I'GLSE'I (covering the London Boroughs of Bexley and Bromleyl voted to merge their activities, both operationally and to create a single registered charity. The merger was effected by Greater London South-East transferring all its assets, liabilities and operations to Greater London South. Greater London South-East has been de-reElStered by the Charity Commission. The Board decided to adopt the financial period end date of 31, January used by GLSE. Accordingly, the prior period figures shown in the Financial Statements cover the activities of the county for a ten-month period from I" April 2024 to 31" January 2025, and those of GLSE from 13, July 2024 to 31" January 2025. Risk and internal control The county has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include two 'signatories' for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered. The Trustees have identified the following as the potential key risks that the County could face.. Exposure to financial loss from events- mitigated by a robust events approval process Reputational damage from adverse press coverage- mitigated by the use of our perception team and the Scout Association media team Page 2

Reduced income from a fall in membership in our component Districts which generates the major part of our income- mitlEated by the support and training of volunteer Scout Leaders to enable a challenging, vigorous and appealing programme for young people. Safeguarding- The risk of a safeguarding incident involving our members. We mitigate this risk with our appointments process, including DBS searches to vet new adults and a mandatory safeguarding training package. Safety- The risk to health through unsafe practices. We mitigate the risk through a mandatory safety training package, a system of adventurous activity permits and adherence to the Scout Association Policy, Organisation and Rules. Major incident at the South London Scout Centre We mitigate this risk through extensive team training and adherence to regulatory and legislative requirements for health and safety and the maintenance of buildings and equipment and the provision of hazardous activities. Key Policies We follow and adhere to The Scout Association's key policies relating to= Equal Opportunities Privacy and Data Protection Religious Safety and Safeguarding Vetting Youth member Anti-BullyinE These are listed alphabetically rather than in any order of importance or priority. They can be found in the current edition of the Policy, Organisation & Rules of The Scout Association and www.scouts.or .uk about- us Investment and Reserves Policy South London Scouts is committed to strong financial stewardship, ensuring that we can support high- quality Scouting for young people across the County now and into the future. The County is therefore seeking ways to diversify its income, recognising that relying solely on annual membership subscriptions and the limited scope for these to rise over time, places a limit on what we can achieve. While the majority of income comes from member subscriptions, our approach is to build and maintain resetves. Our membership can benefit from the investment returns and accumulated interest over time, reducing pressure on subscriptions with additional income from investments. The Board exercises careful oversight of all financial matters, with a focus on budgeting events and activities, and maintenance of assets. Financial risks are regularly reviewed and managed. We acknowledge the balance between risk and return.. while investing in equities and other financial instruments can offer higher returns over time, they also expose us to short-term fluctuations in value. With that in mind, we have adopted the following policies.. Investment Policy The County will invest in tangible assets only when necessary for the delivery of County seDJices le.g., tools, equipment, or facilities). Any assets no longer in use and with financial value should be sold. Up to 20% of the County's unrestricted net assets, as reported in the latest accounts, may be invested in risk-bearing financial instruments such as shares, long duration bonds, or similar products. These investments must be made through collective investment schemes that offer a Page 3

broad spread of underlying assets. All such schemes require approval by the County Trustee Board ICTBI. Cash and near-cash funds managed by professional investment managers may be used, provided that no single fund holds more than 2(Y16 of the County's unrestricted net assets. These funds must be held in trust. Bank deposits must be placed in accounts protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme IFSCSI, and no more than the FSCS protection limit should be held in any one account. Reserves Pollcy The County aims to maintain unrestricted funds equivalent to two years of budgeted revenue expenditure excluding known commitments and funds earmarked for planned development. County subscription levels will be set with the goal of meeting and sustaining this reserve target. Building and maintaining strong reserves allows the County to weather unexpected costs, invest in future development, and generate additional income through interest and investment returns. This ensures we can continue to deliver excellent Scouting while reducinE financial pressures on our members. Objectives and activities The Purpose of Scouting Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. The Values of Scouting 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 cooperate with others and make friends. The Scout Method Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting 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. Public Benefit Statement We believe that using the Scout Method we meet the Charity Commission for England and Wales public benefit criteria for both the advancement of education, and the advancement of citizenship and community development and being as diverse as the communities we serve. Page 4

Achievements and Performance Organisationally we continue to merge the activities of the two predecessor Counties so that we operate increasingly as a single entity. This takes hard work and a commitment to accepting change. Most of our volunteers have accepted this need and made changes in what they do cheerfully. Operationally one of the County's main responsibilities is to select, train and manage our team for the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027. We had over 200 applications for the 40 places, showing the esteem in which the County organisation is held. The first part of this document reviews the activities of our various Teams and the sections for which they are responsible. It makes encouraging reading. Financial Review The accounts attached are the Countvs first for a twelve-month period following restructure. The prior year figures relate to a ten-month period for Greater London South, and a six-month period for Greater London South-East. Our primary source of income for our unrestricted general fund is the county membership fee charged in respect of each youth member. Scout Groups collect a subscription which covers their own costs as well as the fees charged by the District, County and National Headquarters. Funds are passed up the chain from Groups each March and April. We set the County membership fee for 2025 at £10 with no great experience of how costs would emerge in our first year of working together. In the event general fund unrestricted income, for the period was £119,4(K) and associated expenditure was £121,500, a small deficit of £2,100 which is a very creditable result given the uncertainties. Major changes occurred in the management of The Fort, as explained elsewhere. Moving from a volunteer Warden to employed staff will change the finances of the Centre. Despite paying salaries for the last quarter of the year, the Centre made a small surplus of £1,300. The County membership fee for 2026 has been set at £10.50 per youth member. This should generate a modest increase in reserves as part of our plan to support subscriptions with investment income. We have also reviewed charges for use of the South London Scout Centre to ensure that charges cover the new anticipated level of costs. Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities durin8 the year and of its financial posltion at the end of the year lunless the charity is entitled to prepare accounts on the alternative receipts and payments basis). In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to.. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable organisation will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable laws and regulations. They are also responsible for safe8uarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Page 5

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period Ended 31st January 2026

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ' Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

b) Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

c) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category.

d) Fixed Assets

The Trustees have decided to follow the policy adopted by Greater London South-East of writing off all capital purchases to the Statement of Financial Activities at the point of purchase. None of the fixed assets currently owned by the County has any material realisable value on disposal. The Trustees believe that this policy, which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, in appropriate to give readers of the accounts a clear view as to the financial affairs of the County.

e) Membership subscriptions

The County collects membership subscriptions from the constituent districts which include the subscriptions charged by National Headquarters. The amounts which are passed on to Headquarters are treated as agency income and are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as a deduction from the gross income received.

f) Leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease period.

g) Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as paid.

h) Merger of Charities and change in Accounting Period

On 13[th] July 2024 the Counties of Greater London South and Greater London South-East (“GLSE”) voted to merge their activities, both operationally and to create a single registered charity. The merger was effected

Page 9

by GLSE transferring all its assets, liabilities and operations to Greater London South. Greater London South-East has been de-registered by the Charity Commission.

The Trustees decided to adopt the financial period end date of 31st January used by GLSE. Accordingly, the prior period figures shown in the Financial Statements cover the activities of the county for a ten-month period from 1st April 2024 to 31st January 2025, including the former GLSE from 13th July 2024 to 31st January 2025. Activities of GLSE prior to the merger are not shown in the Statement of Financial Activities; fund balances transferred on the merger date are separately identified.

2 FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for specified purposes.

Restricted funds arise from the Jack Petchey Award Scheme, where amounts received that are not awarded as grants need to be returned to the Jack Petchey Foundation. They also include funds raised for, and the expenses of, County-run overseas expeditions, including our contingent to the World Scout Jamboree. In these cases, any material excess funds would normally be returned to the donors, normally the parents of young people participating.

The County Trustee Board also designates part of its unrestricted fund for specific purposes. Despite making a designation, the Board may use designated funds for any purpose within the objects of the charity. The County has two such designated funds: for the South London Scout Centre and for the Top Awards Team. The latter run advanced adventurous activities for participants from across the County, helping them to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and other challenges.

The accounts of the Top Awards Team have not hitherto been consolidated in the County Financial Statements. This year they are consolidated into both the current and prior year figures. The prior year figures shown are therefore not consistent with the published figures for 2025-26. The Trustees consider that there is no material difference in the Balance Sheet.
