Risk and Intemal Contror
The (litr￿1 Exeujttve Committee has Klentified the mapr risks to
which they believe the DistrKt is exposed. These have been
reviehEd and systerr6 have been established to mrtigate against
them. The areas of concam that have been identif￿d are:
Damage to buitdings, property and equiprn￿nt. The Dlstrict woukl
request the use of buiklings, property and equiprrEnt from
neighbourNig organisathjns such as the church, Cofrfftinity centre
and lool Scout Groups. SimiLgr reciprocal arrydngements exist wth
these organisations. The District has Su￿lent buildings and
contents iisurdnce in to mitigate again* pem*nent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The DiSt￿t
thmugh the capitation fees contributes to the Scout Associations
national a(£wJent Insuran￿ polry. Risk Assessments are
undertaken before all actr¥f(ies.
Reduced inconE from fund raising. The Distr￿1 is primarily reliant
upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The Drstrrct does
hord a ￿serve to ensure the (x)ntinuty of actwtties should there be
a n￿￿r reduction in income. The Committee could ratse the value
of subscriptk)ns to increase the income to Ihe District on an
ongoing bas￿. either temporarity or permanently.
ReductDn or loss of leaders. The Distrid is totally ￿lIant upon
volunteer5 to run and administer the activitres of the Distriot. If
there was a redudton in the number of leader5 to an una￿ptab1e
level wi a particular section or the District as a thole then there
have to be a contraction, consolidat￿n or dosure of a
sectM)n. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the
DistrMX.
Reduction or loss of men*Jers. The Dkslrict provhjes activitres for all
young people aged 6 to 25. If there VRS a reduction in
member5h¥) in a particular sectK)n or the Dislrict as whole then
there v￿Uld have to be a contraclion, consolidation or closure of a
section. In the worst case scenario the coMp￿te dosure of the
DistrK*.
The DIst￿l has in pL9ce systeff6 of intemal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagernEnt or loss, induding 2 shJnatories being required for
all payments and comprehensive insuTrnce policies to ensure that
insurable iisks are ￿Ve￿d.

Section C
Objectives and activilies
Summary of the objects of the charity set
out in its goveming document
The objectives of the District are as a unit of the Scout
Associath)n.
The ABM of The Scout Association is to ptoThte the developrrent
of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social
and spiriiual potentials. as indNiduals, as responsible citizens and
as members of their local national and intemational communities.
The nEthod of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing
an enjoyable and attractive scheffe of progressNe training. based
on the Scout Ptomise and Law and
uided b adult leadershi
Summary of the subscriptK)ns polr4 in
relation to these objects
Subsuiptions are charged for mertier5hip to cover the immediate
njnning costs of the District and do not unduly restrict membership.
The District follows the principle that no one should be excluded
because of their inability to pay membership subscriptions.
Summary of the public benef
Two key prinéiples de[￿nstrate that Scouting's aims are for the
public benefrt are that through the Scout method young people
develop towards their full potential and that there is a clear link
between the benefrts for young people and the purpose of
Scouting. The safety of young people is taken very seriously and
the benefts Scouting Activtties provide far OUtwe￿h the risks. Any
private benefts from Scouting are incidental, other than to those
as a benefKiary.
Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of
the charity during the year.
Future PEans for Events and Capiial
Projects
Please see the detailed reports at the front of the document for
the main achEvments and actNities during the year. Looking
forward, we plan to continue to wn a wide variety of District events
forthe benefit of the youngsters in the varK)us sections and we
have a continuing need to build up funds to help deservlng Scouts
and Explorer S(x)uts attend the Worfd Jamborees hekl every four
years. The Birchmere campsrte installed a new Warden's Hut and
Warden's Store and purchased a nTrrquee to p￿VIde weather
cover beside Birch Lodge and The Retreat. Ground levelling and
installation will continue through 2024. The new Hut and Store will
enable the future plans of munting Solar PaneL% to generate
electricty for the ￿mpS11e.There is an ongoing programme to
pairor replace District equipment as it wears out.

Investment Policy
The DiStr￿t does not have suffttnt fvnds to Invest in longer tenn
