Section B - Structure, governance and management
The Scout County's governing documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. The County has adopted the Model Constitution contained within the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The Scout County is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts, operating as a Public Benefit Entity.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The Scout County is managed by the County Executive Committee, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout County which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Committee consists of 3 independent officers, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the County Commissioner, District Chairs, elected and nominated members and meets a minimum of 6 times per year.
This County Executive Committee exists to support the County Commissioner in meeting the responsibilities of the appointments and is responsible for
-
The maintenance of County property;
-
The raising of funds and the administration of County finance;
-
The insurance of persons, property and equipment;
-
County public occasions;
-
Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support;
-
Appointing any sub committees that may be required;
-
Appointing County Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected.
Risk and Internal Control
The County has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

Section C - Objectives and activities
The objectives of the County are to act 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 potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local national and international communities. The method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership. The Trustees consider that continuing scouting activities in line with these aims and objectives is in accordance with the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.
Section D - Achievements and performance
At the end of April 2021 Solihull Scout County comprised of 25 groups. The groups are divided into two Districts – Blythe and Cole. Each District has Explorer Scout provision for 14 to 18 year olds across 12 individual Explorer Scout Units. There is also a Network unit for 18 to 25 year olds in each District. Young Leaders play a vital role as part of the leadership team in many sections and are supported through the delivery of the programme of Young Leader scheme training modules throughout the year.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the membership of Solihull Scouts in a number of ways. Many sections continued to run meetings via Zoom through the dedication of the leadership teams. However, in some cases leaders decided that it was time to step down and several sections were closed. Additionally, sections were less likely to recruit new young people or adults over this period. As a result, the census for 2020 showed a decrease of 21% in youth membership and an 18% decrease in adults, leading to an overall decrease of 20% from last year. This is in line with national trends and
anecdotally the numbers are already starting to recover now that face to face Scouting has resumed. On the date of census, 31 January 2021, there were 1812 young people and 640 adults involved in Scouting in Solihull (the numbers exclude the Occasional Helpers, but these adults are vital to the running of Sections). Girls now account for 22.9% of our youth membership.
Despite the challenging circumstances of the pandemic, over the past year nearly all of the sections have taken part in a varied programme of Scouting activities from home or at meetings when permitted. A total of 153 Chief Scout awards were achieved at all levels as well as countless activity and challenge badges. A number of adults have also
Page 2 Solihull County Scout Council – Trustees’ Annual Report 2018
been recognised with national awards for good service or with the Solihull Scout County Merit Award.
The County’s success is entirely down to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers at section, group, district and county levels. However this has being tested by the periods of suspension of face-to-face Scouting and the creativity and ingenuity of our volunteers to overcome the challenges needs to be recognised. Solihull should be proud of these volunteers who are making a difference in their communities and achieving the aims of The Scouts.
Section E - Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have determined that the County’s policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the County should income and fundraising activities fall short.
The Trustees have traditionally considered that the accounts should hold a sum equivalent to 18 months of headquarters running and associated costs, circa £28k in a normal year.
The amount held in the General fund was £55k at the end of the 2020 – 2021 financial year which exceeds this amount, primarily as a result of the receipt of government covid related grants.
The Trustees were aware of the surplus as reported at the committee meetings and were discussing a number of options to use the excess for Scouting in Solihull.
With the impact of Covid-19 in mind the Trustees have decided to ringfence the surplus in the General Fund. This will be reviewed on an ongoing basis by the trustees in future years.
It is important that the cash balances are held to
-
maintain an adequate cashflow for meeting expenses and activities
-
provide for the ongoing support of the Headquarters building
-
contribute to any unforeseen requirements across the County
-
ensure the General Fund is available to support the other fund categories where appropriate.
Solihull County Scout Council – Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts 2021
Page 4
The County held cash balances of approx. £98k at the year end. Of this £33k was held on deposit in relation to monies collected for the Eurojam 2020 camp and due to be repaid and is not available for any other purpose.
Amounts are also held in specific funds allocated for use by International Scouting, County Camp, Jamboree, and County Scout Active Support.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have assessed the County’s ability to continue as a going concern to assure themselves of the validity of this assumption in preparing the accounts and concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the trustees continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Investment Policy
The County does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments. The County has therefore adopted a risk averse strategy to the investment of its funds in the CAF Bank.
