Summary of the objects of the charity set
out in its governing document|**The Purpose of Scouting**
Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people
in their personal development, empowering them to make a
positive contribution to society.
**The Values of Scouting**
As Scouts we are guided by these values:
**Integrity -**We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy
and loyal.
**Respect -**We have self-respect and respect for others.
**Care -**We support others and take care of the world in
which we live.
**Belief -**We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.
**Co-operation -**We make a positive difference; we co-
operate with others and make friends.
**The Scout Method**
Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with
adults, work together based on the
values of Scouting and:
- enjoy what they are doing and have fun
- take part in activities indoors and outdoors
- learn by doing
- share in spiritual reflection
- take responsibility and make choices
- undertake new and challenging activities
- make and live by their Promise.| ||| ||The group fulfils the above objectives by running two Beaver
colonies, two Cubs packs, a Scout troop and an Air Scout
troop. The Group also has an affliated Explorer unit.| 3 LT700001 (3rd December 2018) Additional details of the objectives and activities (optional information but encouraged as best practice) |You**may choose**to include further
statements, where relevant, about:
• policy on grantmaking;
• contribution made by volunteers;
• policy on investments.
Public benefit statement|| |---|---| ||| ||The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit
criteria under both the advancement of education and the
advancement of citizenship or community development
headings.| ||| |**Section D**|**Achievements and performance**| |Summary of the main achievements of
the charity during the year|| ||The year has been significantly affected by the Covid-19
pandemic. However, the Group has continued to provide
Scouting to all sections. This was initially through "The Great
Indoors" initiative, where young people participated in
activities provided on Scouts.org.uk, allowing progress to
continue on their badges and awards. Later on the in year,
all sections introduced virtual meetings, through which a
wide range of activities took place, including quizes, games,
cooking and crafts.
During the year, the Scout HQ building and grounds have
been out of use. However, they have been regularly
inspected to ensure that they remain in a good state of
repair. COVID-safe measures and controls have been put in
place to allow reopening in April 2021 to enable face-to-face
Scouting to resume.| ||| |**Section E**|**Financial Review**| |Quantify and explain any designations
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves|**Reserves Policy**
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient
resources to continue the charitable activities of the group
should income and fundraising activities fall short. The
Group Executive Committee considers that the group should
hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs plus a
further amount for unexpected building maintenance and
minibus repairs or replacement. This is considered to be
circa £30,000.
The Group held reserves of approximately £52,000 against
this at year end. This is above the level required for
operating expenses. However, this can be explained by the
receipt of a number of COVID-related grants towards the
end of the financial year. These will be required in the
2021/22 financial year to re-establish face-to-face Scouting,
grow numbers and replace vital equipment.| 4 LT700001 (3rd December 2018) Details of any funds materially in deficit (circumstances plus steps to eliminate) N/A Further financial review details (optional information) |You**may choose**to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
• how expenditure has supported the key
objectives of the charity;
• the charity’s principal sources of funds
(including any fundraising);
• investment policy and objectives;|

The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank
balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group
obtains maximum value and income from its banking
arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an
account that requires a period of notice before funds may be
withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive considers
the cash flow requirements.

**Investment Policy**
The Group's Income and Expenditure is very small and as a
consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in
longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The
Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the
investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only
mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout
Association's Short Term Investment Service.| |---|---| **Section F Other Optional Information** |Plans for future periods (details of any
significant activities planned to achieve
them)|The Group intends a return to face-to-face Scouting for all
sections from April 2021. There will be a need to regrow
numbers following a decline during the pandemic and there
will be a need to invest in the programme and equipment
order to achieve this.
The Group also intends to invest in the safety and
maintenance of the building and grounds, where this is
required.| |---|---| ||| |**Section G**|**Declaration**| The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees |Signature(s)
