## **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 March 2022 Solihull Scout County comprised 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 started a return to face to face scouting and some sections returned to camps over the summer.  However, in some cases leaders decided that it was time to step down and some sections didn’t reopen. The census for Jan 2022 showed an increase of 4% in youth membership and a static number of adults, leading to an overall increase of 3% from last year. This is in line with national trends and anecdotally the youth numbers are still increasing now that face to face Scouting has resumed. On the date of census, 31 January 2022, there were 1917 young people and 641 adults involved in Scouting in Solihull (the numbers exclude the Occasional Helpers, but these adults are vital to the running of Sections). Girls accounted for 29% 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 138 Chief Scout Awards were achieved at all levels as well as countless activity and challenge badges. A number of adults have also 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 been tested by the periods 

Solihull County Scout Council – Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts 2022 

Page 3 



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 £30k in a normal year. 

The amount held in the General fund was £69k at the end of the 2021 – 2022 financial year which exceeds this amount, primarily as a result of the receipt of government covid related grants. This level of excess reserves has been deliberately maintained so as to allow for potential support to contribute to any unforeseen requirements across the County during the period of the Covid pandemic. The Trustees were aware of the surplus as reported at the committee meetings and have determined that the existing level of excess reserves is no longer required. They have therefore prepared a budget for the financial year 2022-23 which shows the County running at a deficit in the year which will significantly reduce the reserves towards the target level. 

The County held net Cash balances of approximately £92k at the year end. Of this £16k was held on deposit in relation to monies collected for the World Scout Jamboree in 2023 which 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** 

Solihull County Scout Council – Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts 2022 Page 4 



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.
