13TH BEBINGTON (ST BARNABAS) SCOUT GROUP TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees present their report and the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Group Executive Committee are responsible for the day to day running of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities’ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Governing document
The Scout Association (the Association), including the 13[th] Bebington (St Barnabas) Scout Group, exists by authority of a Royal Charter, granted by King George V in 1912 and supplemented by further Charters granted by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
These Charters give authority to the Bye Laws of the Association, which are approved by Her Majesty's Privy Council.
The Bye Laws, in turn, authorise the making of rules for the regulation of the Association's affairs, and thereby give authority for the Rules printed in Policy, Organisation and Rules.
Organisational Structure
The charity is managed by the Group Executive Committee who meet at least 6 times each year.
Risk identification and management
The Trustees are aware of the risks and the Group Executive Committee regularly reviews the organisation's reserves.
Public Benefit
When planning and programming activities for the local residents the trustees keep in mind the Charity Commissions guidelines on Public Benefit.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
We promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities in accordance with the aims and guidelines of the scout movement.
On behalf of the board of trustees

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION TO THE MEMBERS OF 13TH BEBINGTON (ST BARNABAS) SCOUT GROUP For the year ended 31 March 2021
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 6 and 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and 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:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
-
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
