4™ EWELL (NONSUCH) SCOUT GROUP
Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31° March 2024
Major activities and achievements for the year
Throughout the year 4th Ewell continued to be a popular and successful scout group. The funds remained very positive which enabled significant activities to be available to the sections. At the end of the year the Group’s cash reserves stood at £249,117.05
The Group’s policy is to hold an amount in the reserves that is sufficient to at least cover a full 24 months period of activity and running costs. This has been covered and the balance in reserve will be used towards expenditure on specific items e.g. continued updating and replacement of camping equipment. The Trustees are not aware of any major financial risks to which the Group could be exposed.
The object of the Group is to act as a unit of the Scout Association for the purpose of Scouting which is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society, guided by the values of Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief, and Co-operation.
Throughout the year the four sections of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers have each operated a varied programme, providing an exciting, enjoyable and inclusive programme. Our numbers have increased over the past year to over 100 members who have taken part every week and the sections have enjoyed a varied programme which has enabled badges to be gained and Challenge Badges to be completed.
Someofthe activities enjoyed by our members this year:
-
e@ Beavers — Making birdfeeders / garden bird watch, Problem solving, Crazy golf, Ringo’s, Sleepover @ Cubs — Guide Dog visit, cycle maintenance and bike ride, Camp, Fire station visit, climbing, pioneering, First Aid @ Scouts — Trip to the Secret nuclear bunker, Bike ride, hike, Summer camp, Canoeing weekend, skiing, MasterChef, Christmas camp, ceramic painting
-
e Explorers — Hi Ropes Climbing, White water rafting, Pizza making, Bowling, pioneering, liquid leisure, Summer Camp, driving range, hikes, ice skating
Our sections all participated in the annual Remembrance Day service — held at St Mary’s Church in Ewell Village and also took part in the parade.
The Group Executive has continued to manage the infrastructure for the Group by growing the income stream, maintaining and improving the building and managing the 3 vehicles and box trailer. The Executive's projects have included:
- ° Replacement fencing, major tree works e Continuous Improvements to building CCTV security and external lighting ° Replacement of florescent lighting to LED ° Created a SASU (Scouts Active Support unit) which will take on the building maintenance
Target sports continues to be very popular with extra sessions being held on a regular basis at the HQ for members, as well as members from other groups within District. Our instructors have also provided shooting sessions for another charity - Young Carers — which provides support for Children who care for their families.
All sections have taken an active part in advertising and helping at the annual Christmas tree sale, with Parents and families joining in to ensure the Annual Christmas Tree sale remains a success and continues to be our main source of fundraising.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the 4™ Ewell (Nonsuch) SCOUT GROUP
| report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31° March 2024 which are set out on pages 1to6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:
The Group’s/District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 [the 1993 Act]) and that an independent examination is needed.
-
it is my responsibility to:
-
*® Examine the accounts (under Section 43 (3) (a) of the 1993 Act);
-
¢ To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 43 (7) (b) of the 1993 Act); and
-
e To state whether particular maters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group/District 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 audit and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; 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
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
