Trustees:

Appointment Name Chairman James Faux Treasurer Deborah Wall Secretary Nicola Bond Group Scout Leader Anja Davidson Scout Leader Brian Murphy Cub Pack Leader George Bishop

Section B Structure, Governance and Management

The Group’s governing documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, dated 4[th] January 1912, which in turn gives authority to the bylaws of the Association and the policies, organisation and rules of The Scout Association.

The Group is a trust established under rules that are common to all Scout Groups. The Trustees have complied with the requirement to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the policy, organisation and rules of The Scout Association.

The Trustees manage the Group. They are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities, including the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.

The Trustees meet from time to time as necessary. Other helpers involved in the operation of the Group also attend these meeting. Their functions are:

• the raising of funds and the administration of group finance;

• the insurance of persons, property and equipment;

• group public occasions;

• assisting in the recruitment of group leaders and other adult support;

• appointing any subcommittees that may be required; and appointing administrators and advisers

Risks and Internal Controls

The Trustees have 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 of concern that have been identified are:

 damage to the buildings, property and equipment. In such cases, the Group would borrow the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the church, community centre and other Scout groups. 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 Association's national accident insurance policy. Risk assessments are undertaken before all activities;

 reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant on income from subscriptions and fundraising. The Group does however, hold reserves sufficient to ensure the continuity of activities for a period should there be a major reduction in income. Also, the Group could raise subscriptions to increase the income to the Group on an on-going basis, either temporarily or permanently;

 reduction or loss of leaders. The Group is very reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. Recruiting leaders is a particular difficulty and the Group is always interested in hearing from individuals who might be interested in becoming leaders. If there were a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the Group as a whole there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of the section. In the worst-case scenario this could lead to a complete closure of the Group;

 reduction or loss of members. The group provides activities for all young people aged 4 to 18. If there were a reduction in membership in a particular section or in the Group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of the section. In the worst-case scenario this would lead to the complete closure of the Group; and

 internal controls. The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide protection against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies.

Section C: Objectives and Activities

The Group’s objectives are as a unit of the Scout Association. The aim of the Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential; as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. The Association's aims are achieved by providing an enjoyable scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law, guided by adult leadership.

The Group charges membership subscriptions to cover its immediate running costs which do not unduly restrict membership. The Group's principle is that no one should be excluded because of their inability to pay membership subscriptions, or charges for participating in activities.

The Group’s and the Scout Association's public benefits are demonstrated by, inter alia:

• the development of young people towards their full potential; and

• guiding young people in their responsibilities towards others and the community as a whole.

The safety of young people is taken very seriously and the benefits of Scouting activities are considered to far outweigh its risks.

Any private benefits from Scouting are incidental, other than to beneficiaries.

Public Benefit Statement

The Group meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. Subscription fees are set at a level that covers only the immediate running costs of the Group and the capitation fees to the Scout Association, to ensure they remain as low as possible and do not unduly restrict membership. We admit members from the local community in the area of Oxshott and Cobham. Money from fund raising activities is put in to a hardship fund that families can apply for help with fees or costs of activities. As charity trustees, members of the Executive Committee pay due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance where relevant to our decision making.

Section D: Achievements and Performance

After much work with the Guides and support from SCC councillor, Mark Sugden, Surrey County Council granted the Scouts and Guides nearly £1.2million for a new building. The Oxshott Community Hub was opened on 1[st] September 2024, This is a new, environmentally friendly, fully accessible building with a communal central area with a kitchen and meeting rooms and a hall on each side, one for Guides and one for Scouts. The Oxshott Community Hub is available for hire for local groups. Winning the funding from Your Fund Surrey was a tremendous achievement and we are very grateful for the support SCC for the project. It would not have been possible without a huge amount of work by John Major (who had sons who went through Oxshott Scouts years ago) and Alison Shannon from Guides.

Across the group we have in the last year awarded 2015 badges and these top level awards to our members; Including;

Squirrel Chief Scout Acorn Award Beavers Chief Scout Bronze Award Cubs Chief Scout Silver Award Scouts Chief Scout Gold Award Explorers Platinum Award DofE Bronze Explorers Diamond DofE Silver Award Explorer Belt Award Young Leader Belt Kings Scout Award

The Kings Scout award is the top level award in Scouting and there has not been such an award at Oxshott for over 12 years, it is a truly impressive achievement.

The annual Christmas tree sales is the main fundraising activity making almost £13k for the group funds. This does require a lot of organization by the little team and by all the parents coming along and delivering the trees, the effort is well worth it for the profits to brings to the Group. The annual fireworks contributed £1424 in profits, this could not go ahead without John Major who plans the whole display, buys and sets off the fireworks, usually assisted by his two sons, and Caroline Jackson who has taken on most of the organisation of the food, tickets and items for sale helped by her team.

Section E: Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The Groups’ policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resource to continue the charitable activities of the Group, or at the very least, to conduct an orderly wind down of the Group, should income and fundraising activities fall short.

The Group held cash reserve of £58,492at 31[st] March 2024.

Section F: Other Information and Future Plans

The Group continues to grow with the new Squirrel section well established and meetings in the new building from September. The waiting lists are healthy and we would expect these to grow when the new building is completed.

We are working with the Guides and hirers to set up a Joint Building Management Committee who will manage the new Oxshott Community Hub. Several regular hirers have signed up already including a local dance company, St Andrew’s church while work is undertaken on their hall and some smaller local groups. We are actively looking to fill the day time with a nursery or play group to maximise income from the Oxshott Community Hub

Recruiting leaders and members for the Trustee Board remains a priority to ensure the continued success of 1[st] Oxshott Scout Group.

The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide protection against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies. Communi Hub The rebuilding of the Scout and Guide Hut commenced in Summer 2023, completed in July 2024 and will be referred to as the Oxshott Community Hub going forward. During the financial period from April 2023 to March 2024, grants totalling approx. £800k were received from Your Fund Surrey and Elmbridge Borough Council. Spend incurred relating to the Community Hub during the same period was £726k. The difference between the grant income and expenditure during the period is materially related to a 5Yo retention in place. Grants received are deemed restricted funds for the sole purpose of the Community Hub project. The Community Hub is under 50.50 ownership between Guides and Scouts, therefore 1st Oxshott Scouts will report 50Yo of the receipts and payments relating to the Communitv Hub from 23124 year going forward. Upon completion of the building work, the level of Income and expenditure relating to the Community Hub will materially reduce to comprise materially of income from hire of the site and expenditure relating to the operation of the land and buildings including insurance, utility expenses and repairs and maintenance. Income and expenses relating to the Community Hub will be managed through the Joint Management Committee. The membership of the Joint Management committee includes the Treasurer, Secretary and Group Scout Leader for 1st Oxshott Scouts. All receipts and payments relating to the Community Hub are held in a separate bank account to Scout accounts.

Scouts "_ Ba isof l¥t Omshott aratlon facc nts The Charity Commission requires charities with gross incomes between £250k and £5CK)k per year to prepare accruals accounts and have them independently checked. Charities with gross incomes between £25k and £250k may prepare accounts on a receipts and payments basis. The average income for 1st Oxshott Scouts in the five years 2018/19 to 2022/23 is £46k and the accounts have therefore always been prepared on a receipts and payments basis. However, receipts for the 2023/24 financial year at £453k (Normal income plus 50% of the income pertaining to the Community Hub) is materially more than the 5-year average, entirely due to receipt of grants, donations and funds in support of the Community Hub Project which will not be repeated in future years. Because this elevated income in 2023/24, which will continue into the 2024125 financial year to the end of the construction period to July 2024, is a once-off event, to ensure comparability with previous and future years and avoid a complex restatement of previous accounts, the Group has determined to use the receipts and payments basis for preparation of this year's accounts, as shown in Appendix A.

The Treasurer will review the purpose of the Balance Sheet for future accounting periods post the completion of the Community Hub and is continued to be shown here in line with prior periods.

Scouts 1st Oxthott Reserves It is the Group's policy to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group for at least two years should income from fund raising activities fall short. The cash reserves for 1st Oxshott Scouts (excl Community Hub) at the year-end were £58,492, having increased by £3,882 from the prior year reser4es of £54,610. The ongoing normal operations of the Scout group have been broadly met with normal fundraising activities and subscriptions as the Trustees would expect. The reserves include £27,682 in a separate bank accountwhich have been in part resenied by the Executive Committee for use on buildings and grounds and are expected to be drawn upon to provide new equipment and facilities in the Community Hub upon completion. Appendix A provides the income and expenditure details supported by notes to the accounts. 1st Oxshott Scouts Flnancial Revlew Receipts were £52,585 and payments were £48,703 resulting in a net surplus for the year of £3,882. The closing balance for the year was therefore £58,492. Gross membership fee income broadly flat on prlor year, with an increase in capitation paid to the district Net surplus was c. 9% higher our main fundraising events - Christmas Trees and Fireworks Activity receipts (for camps, activity weekends, weekly planned activities, etc.) fluctuate from year to year depending on the number and nature of activities and the dates that advance payments are received. The cost of activities is covered bv subscriptions, additional receipts and net profit from f undraising activities Bank Interest was £329 on reserve account Due to the development of the Community Hub during the financial period to which this report relates, the insurance premium has not been incurred as insurance was covered under the building contractor. In addition during this period, utility costs e.8. water and electricity are not representative of normal operations. All shared utility costs relating to the operation of the Community Hub will be managed by the Joint Management Committee and shared 50.50 with Guides.

Scouts 1st Ox9hott Notes to the accounts Accountlng policies Accountlng convention The financial statements have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP FRS102} together with other applicable accounting standards, There have been no changes in the accounting policies. Incomlng resources All income is generally accounted for when received. No accruals have been made in the accounts. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised when paid out, either by the group, or on its behalf by persons who will be reimbursed. At the balance sheet date, the Group had no material unpaid obligations although expenditure reimbursed after the year is treated as outstanding payments. This accounting policy means that occasionally two years expenses are expensed in one set of accounts. Tanglble flxed assets and depreclatlon Land and buildings are noted in the balance sheet at cost value. Income and expenditure relating to the building is fully recognised on a receipts and payments basis. No value is attributable to other equipment, which is written off on acquisition. Restrlcted funds These amounts can, by law, only be used for specified purposes. Funds relating to the Community Hub are deemed restricted to the development of the Communlty Hub. Gifts In klnd Gifts in kind, whether of labour or physical goods, are not valued in the accounts.

Scouts 1st O¥shott Remuneration of employees and trustees There were no employees during the year 2023/24 and no remuneration was paid to Trustees in 2023/24. Subscriptlons Subscriptions are in the vast majority, collected by monthly Direct Debit. Subscriptions can be accompanied by Gift Aid for UK Tax Payers. Fundralsing - Chrlstma5 Trees & Flreworks To comply with the Scout Association recommended practices this is shown under gross income and gross expenditure. The net surplus for Christmas Trees in 2023124 was £12,738. This compares to a prior year amount of £11,508. The net surplus for Fireworks in 2023/24 was £1,424. This compares to a prior year amount of £1,536. Rental Income Rental income from letting the hut is nil due to the development of the site. In future years this income will be reported under the Community Hub. Unlform. Uniform is shown as a separate item in the accounts to reflect the purchase and sale of scruff kit used for camps and activities. The net loss is due to building up reserve of stock for future sales. Income and expendlture for camps and actlvities Over £13,0(X) of parental contributions passed through the accounts. Expenditure is higher than the contributions as many activities are partly funded through subscriptions and fundraising, making activitie5 more affordable. Other Income This includes donations, income tax refunds on gift aid subscriptions and interest on bank accounts. The reduction year on year relates to a 3 year gift aid claim made in the 2022/23 financial year. 12

Scouts 1st Ox*hott Electricity, Water and Broadband. The Group pays its electricity and water charges by direct debit with bills being based on actual consumption. Upon completion of the building project, utility expenses will be managed by the Joint Management Committee, reported under the Community Hub element of the accounts and shared 50.50 with Guides. 10. Premlses repalr and maintenance The Group has a constant requirement to maintain its premises and to meet health and safety requirements. Often this is achieved by voluntary help and donated materials, but sometimes the Group must incur maintenance expenditure. The Group gets income from renting the premises to other local users, which it could not do unless the premises were maintained to an appropriate standard. 11. Insurance No insurance premium has been paid within the financial year. A new contract is under negotiation and will be in place upon handover of the site from the building contractor. Insurance costs are shared with the Guides who own the other half of the building and the costs will be met by the Community Hub going forward. 12. Cleanlng Lower cleaning costs year on year reflect the building project. Site related cleaning costs will be managed under the Community Hub going forward. 13. Equipment This represented the cost of the equipment purchased. Such acquisitions are written off in the year. 14. Badges scarves, woggles and books These items are provided to members by the sections. 15. Other expendlture Other expenditure includes advertising, IT and stationery costs. We also use Online Scout Manager (OSM) which is an invaluable tool for reducing some of the more time consuming administrative dutiesfor our leaders and those who arrange camps and activities. It also helps with keeping up to date badge records, registers, personal details and sending out invitations and collecting responses for camps and activates. During the 2023124 financial year, the trustees did not use the hardship fund. 13

Scouts 1st Oxshtstt 16. Land and buildings As at 31, March 2023, the value attributed in this report is the historical value as reported in prior years given there is no updated value attributable to the land and bui5dings while under construction. The premises are owned by the Scout Association which holds it in trust for the Group. The land and buildings will be revalued post completion of the Community Hub project for insurance purposes. 14
