Financial Review
Brief ststement of the charity's policy
on reserves
Re8erves Polky
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficien
resources to continue the charitable activities of group
should income and fundraising ath'vities fall short. The
Group Executive Committee considers that the group
should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs,
circa £25,000.
The Group held reseples of approximately £65,000 against
this at year end. This is above the level required for
operats'ng exF£nses. However this can be explained by the
level of donations and fundraising during the last few years.
Funds are retained for Scout activities such as, camps and
for the Maintenan￿ of the Structure of the Oatlands Scout
Group building.
