Scouts
The Trustees are appointed in accordan￿ wrth the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The
Scout Association.
The District is managed by the District Trustee Board, the members of which are the 'Charty
Trustees, of the District ScoLrt Council which is an educational charity. As charrty trustees
they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the
registration. keeping proper accounts and making retums to the Charity Commission as
appropriate.
The Trustee Board consists of the Chair, Treasurer together with the various Trustees
(elected, nominated and ctropted at the last Annual General Meeting) and meets every 2
months.
Members of the Trustee Board complete Being a Scouts Trustee leaming within 6 months of
joining the Board.
This District Trustee Board exists to make sure the chanty is well-managed. risks are
assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order. and everyone
follows legal requirements and the organisation's policies and rules. Their support helps
other volunteeTS run high-qualty and safe programmes that give young people skills for life.
Risk and Intemal Control
The District Trustee Board has identified the major risks to which they believe the District is
exposed. These have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas of con￿rn that have been identrfied are'.-
Reputational issues arising from adverse coverage
The reputational risks are mitigated by the use of the Scout Association media team
Damage to building, propety and equipment Iwaylands, Campsite and Scout House and
Explorer Units)
The District would request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring
organisations such as the church, community centre and other So)ut Groups. Similar
reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The District has sufficient buildings
and contents insurance in place to mitigate against pemianent loss. Premises audits are
carried out on our buildings.
Finance
There are onerous legal requirements upon trustees to ensure that the finances are done
properly. The District is heavily dependent upon volunteers to ensure this is all done
correctly. Financial risk management reviews are undertaken.
There is always an exposure to a financial loss arising from events which is mltigated by
Events Approval pro￿sS.
Reduction or loss of leaders
The District is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer activitses. Support and
training are provided to redu￿ the risk of leaders leaving the District.
Injury to leaders. helpers, supporters and members
The District, through the capitation fees, contributes to the Scout Association's national
accident insurance policy. Risk assessments are undertaken before all activits'es.

Scouts accommodation was of the order of £1.5 million.
Waylands Campsite. Westerham
This is a freehold campsrte which allows the District to run District camps and hikes.
Public benefit statement
The District meets the Charty Commission's public benefrt crrteria under both the
advan￿rnent of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development
headings.
Achievements and Performance
The ￿nsuS in January 2024 showed the number of young people supported grew by 20
from 2023, to 879, while the number of adult members grew by 11.￿/0 to 289. The growth
in youth membership was driven by the opening of a new Explorer Scout Unit and a large
increase in the number of young leaders and was partially offset by a decline in the number
of Cubs.
As groups have recovered from the pandemic and are retuming to running more ambitious
programmes themselves, the profile of District events has changed slightly. Two new
District events were run. The firsL in summer 2023, enabled older Scouts from several
Troops to gain their Expedition challenge badge. Thanks to Marlon Marton-Bell from the
County Top Awards team, for planning and running the event. The second, in February
2024 was a checkpoint hike for Scouts and EXplo￿rS with many teams walking
unaccompanied for up to 15km, while less eXperien￿d Troops walked shorter distances
wrf(h an adult. Thanks to Emily Sterz and lan Gravatt for running this. Cubs and Scouts
District camps were run as usual in May 2024 with a focus on enabling groups with less
leader support to get their Cubs and Scouts camping. Several smaller events were run for
Cubs and Beavers, including a Beaver craft day and a Cubs Scien￿ badge. Thanks to Kay
Francis. Tina Lodge, James Manley. Sabiene Cross and many others for making all these
events happen.
Our Explorer Scouts have had many opportunities to extend their skills in hiking, camping
and Ganoeing - witn many nignts away events over the year. They are encouraged to enrol
for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards and King's Scout Award and training for expeditions
continued. They achieved 8 bronze, 8 silver and 3 gold awards as well as 8 Chief Scouts
Diamond awards and 9 Chief Scours Platinum awards. The Distn'ct would like to thank the
County Top Awards team for their huge support in making this happen.
Young Leaders have continued to participate in the District Young Leader scheme, including
attendance at regular training sessions. Numbers have risen substantially this year with
over 50 young leaders providing their skn'lls and enthusiasm to nearly all groups in the
Pw5

Scouts
District. Thanks to Rebecca Chiles, James Manley and Sabiene Cross for their work with
the Young Leaders.
We thank all the leaders in the DistriGt for their continued dedication to running activities for
young people over a huge range of events.
International trips
International trips give the young people the opportunty to represent our District at a major
event. meet Scouts from all over the world and leam about a different culture. The District
supports these Scouts and Explorers with various fundraising events to help them cover the
cost of the trip.
11 of our Scouts and Explorers attended the 25th World Scout Jamboree in Korea in August
2023.
28 of our Explorers and Scouts attended the County trip to Croatia in August 2023.
Financial review
The attached examined accounts fonn an integral part of this Report. Detailed financial
updates are presented regularly to the District Trustee Board.
The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
Reserves policy
The Districys policy on reserves is to hold sufficient unrestricted reSoUr￿S to continue the
charitable activities of the District should income and fundraising activities fall short. The
need for substantial reserves was illustrated during the COVID pandemic. A period not
exceeding 36 months is considered appropriate.
The District Trustee Board considers the District should hold adequate reserves for
Scout House running costs as there is no steady income stream
Scout House and Waylands as a result of increasing utility costs
The District re￿iVeS the mandatory charity relief on both its buildings and the
discretionary relief on one and needs to allow reserves in case there is any reduction
in the discretionary or worse still the mandatory business relief for charities
The campsite needs an appropriate reserve for major replacement items and
improvements which will not be insignificant amounts of funds.
ESUS to ensure delivery of a robust program of events and expeditions.
The District has responsibilty to meet the liabilities of any group or unit that closes
and needs to ensure that there are reserves for this rf needed. It should be noted
that our financial review of the groups at present would indicate this is unlikely.
And these are the reasons for reserves to be higher than the nomial
Invostmènt policy
Charities are required to set out their investment objectives in an investrnent policy which
they should keep under regular review. the investment policy should be the starting point for
any trustee board discussion on investments. The District has adopted a low risk strategy to
the investments of rts funds and cash is held at call or shortlmedium tenn notice using only
mainstream banks or building societs'es, no other investments exist.

explanations from you as trltstees concerning any such matters. The pr(Kedures undertaken do nol provide all the
