Section B Structure, governance and management
Description of the charity’s trusts
Additional governance issues
Type of governing document
How the charity is constituted
Trustee selection methods
The District'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 District is a trust established under its rules which are
common to all Scouts.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The District is managed by the District Executive Committee,
the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout
District 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 Chair, Treasurer and Secretary,
District Commissioner and Section Leaders and other
Executive members nominated or voted at the AGM.
Members of the Executive Committee complete_'Essential_

Section B Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk and Internal Control
The District Executive Committee 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 concern that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The District
has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to
mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
District contributes to the Scout Associations national accident
insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all
activities.
Reduced income. The District is primarily reliant upon income
from the activity centre, shop surpluses and donations. The
Scammonden Activity Centre holds a reserve to ensure the
continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in
income.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The District is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the district. If
there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the district as a
whole then there would be plans for recruitment drives but if
unsuccessful, there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the District.
Reduction or loss of members. The District provides activities
for all young people aged 4 to 25. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the district as whole then
there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure
of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure
of the District.

Section C Objectives and activities
Public benefit statement
Summary of the objects of the charity
set out in its governing document
Summary of the main activities in relation
to these objects		 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 District sections carry out regular activities with Squirrels,
Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers as well as Duke of
Edinburgh activities. The Scammonden Activity Centre
supports and promotes Scout groups. In addition, the District
benefits from Network Scouts for those aged 18-25 and from
South West Events and Activities Team for those aged 18+.
The District 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
We started the year under lockdown from Covid. However, by
June this had eased and allowed us to reopen the
Scammonden Activity Centre. We received additional grants
of £14,736 from Kirklees Council to support the closure of the
centre. Since March 2020 we received in total £34,166 of
grants. We applied £11,794 to improvements to the
Scammonden Centre and set aside £11,408 into the Scout
Support Fund. Overall the District made a small surplus of
£870.99 helped in particular by the timing of receipts from the
Duke of Edinburgh activities dropping in this year to the tune
of £1,873 surplus. The badge shop stock has been sold off
and has been more than halved. The level of stock still to be
sold reduced from £2,205 to £1,069.
Section E Financial Review
Details of any funds materially in deficit
(circumstances plus steps to eliminate)
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves		 The District's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
to continue the charitable activities of the district should
income
raising
activities fall short. The
District Executive
Committee considers that the district should hold a sum
equivalent to 12 months operational and maintenance costs,
roughly £35,000.
The District held reserves of approximately £78,000 against
this at year end. This
is above
the level for operating
expenses. The District operates the Scammonden Activity
Centre
which
carry
a
potential
liability
for
repair
and
maintenance costs.
Reserves Policy
None
Section F
 Other Optional Information
Plans for future periods (details of any
significant activities planned to achieve
them)
Nothing significant to note now we've moved on from Covid
and the Scammonden Centre has been fully re-opened.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the

HUDDERSFIELD SOUTH WEST DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

I report on the accounts of the Group/District/County/Area for the year ended 31[st] March 2022

which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes set out on pages 1 to 6

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Group’s/District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group/District and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, & seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, & consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *):

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements

  2. l to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act ;and
