Policies for:	include additional information, where relevant, about: and procedures adopted		The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee, the members of which are the 'Charity Trustees' of the 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 returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
a) the induction and training		of
trustees; b) trustee' consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them			The Committee consists of 3 independent representatives, Chair, and Secretary together with the Group Scout Leader and representation and meets every 2 months.				Treasurer parent's
			This Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader meeting the responsibilities ofthe appointments and is responsible for: The maintenance of Group property;						in
			The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance; The insurance of persons, property and equipment; Group pubhc occasions;

		Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support;
		Appointing any sub committees that may be required;
		Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected.
		Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 1)
		The Group Executive Committee has identified the major risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas ofconcern that have been identified are:
		Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Group would request the use ofbuildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the church, community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.
		Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance pohcy.
		Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
		There are now additional COVID Risk Assessments which are approved by the Orwell District approver.
		Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is pnmarily reliant upon income from subscnptions and fundraising.
		The Group does hold areserve to ensure the continuity ofactivities 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 permanently.
		Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. Ifthere was a reduction 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, consohdation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
		Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides 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.
		Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 2)
		The group 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 a comprehensive insurance olicies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

You may choose to include
	additional
information, where relevant,
	about:
~the funds	charity's principal sources (including any fundraising);	of	The Group's Income and Expenditure is small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short Term Investment Service.
~ how expenditure has supported the key objectives ofthe charity;			The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements.
			Occasionally this may involve using an account that requires a period of notice before funds may be withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive considers the cash flow requirements.
