public benefit are that through the Scout method young people
develop towards their tull potentsal and that there is a clear link

Financial Review
Brief statement of the charity's polry on
reserves
Reserves Pollcy and Futurg Plan8
The District's policy on reserves is to hold suffi'cient resources in their
General Reserve to continue the charitable activities of the District
should income and fvndraising activities fall short. The Executive
Committee oonsiders that the District should hold in the General and
RepairslReplacements Reserves a sum equivalent to 6 month
running cogts, circa £30,000.
The District held £91,860 in these reserves of which £30.000 is
held, in line wih the District policy, to cover 6 months running costs
and to have sufficient funds to cover unexpected costs.
Further financial ￿vIeW details
Investment Pollcy
The District d￿S not have sufficient funds lo invest in longer term
investments such as stocks and shares. The Distncl has therefore
adopted a low risk str8legy to the investment of its funds. All funds
ale held in cash using only the Charities Aid Foundation Bank, Ltd.,
the Co-operalve Bank, the NationwKle Building Society and the
Charity Organisations Investment Fund (COIFI.
The District Execulive regularty monitors the levels of bank balances
and the interest rates received to ensure the group obtains maximum
value and income from its banking arrangements. Ocwionally this
may involve using an account that requires a pen¢xl of noti￿ beforo
funds may be wlhdrawn.. before doing $0 the District Executive
