## **14[th] SALE SCOUT GROUP CHARITY NUMBER 520241,**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021**
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st]
December 2021.
## **NAME AND NATURE OF ASSOCIATION**
The name of the Association is 14[th] SALE SCOUT GROUP.
The Charity is unincorporated.
The Charity’s registration number is 520241.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Charity’s objects are:-
To actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
The Method of achieving the aim is to ensure that 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.
There have been no changes to the activities of the Association in the year under review.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
As 2021 opened COVID continued to impact the Group and there were occasions when we weren’t able to meet face to face but as the year progressed, the rules relaxed, face to face meetings returned and we were even able to have some camps. Throughout the entire COVID period the group continued to thrive and as the year draws to a close we are planning to open a new Squirrels section. Following on from good relations with the childcare group who rent the scout hut during the day, some renovations and upkeep was carried out on the hut and grounds. Given the impact of COVID this was less than in prior years but we were still able to build a shelter that will allow us to do more with our outdoor space. Following their popularity in prior years we continued to offer group hoodies for sale to all members, and, given the popularity, we offered an additional option; a zip through hoodie. Seeing so many of our young people, leaders and parents buying and wearing these garments really fosters our sense of team and belonging. In 2020 we had a drop off in numbers but, throughout 2021 our numbers stayed relatively static and our waiting list is increasingly busy.
As well as hundreds of activity and challenge badges, we awarded: 12 Bronze awards to Beavers
6 Silver awards to Cubs, and
9 Gold awards to Scouts
Each being the highest award achievable in the section and a significant increase on the prior year.
Our young leaders expressed enjoyment at being involved in the group; and much positive feedback was received from parents, especially with how we were able to continue with scouting remotely throughout the pandemic.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Specific Investment Powers**
The powers are to invest the monies of the charity not immediately required for its purpose in or upon such investments securities as may be thought fit subject nevertheless to such conditions (if any) that may for the time being be imposed or required by law.

## **Officers**
## The officers of the Group are:-
John Casson Group President Paul Dixon Vice President Roy Kinnear Chairperson Anna Brunt Group Scout Leader Dermot Rafferty Secretary Lyndsay Kinnear Treasurer
## **EXAMINATION OF ACCOUNTS**
The charity exceeds the threshold to require an independent examiners report and have therefore appointed Scott Roberts Taylor and Co.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Funding comes from subscriptions from the scouts which fund activities, with additional (but not essential) monies from rent, and fundraising activities. We own the building we use, and are low risk of running out of funds.
Cash in bank accounts as at 31/12/2021 was £43,929.83. So at the year end the financial position was healthy.
It is considered that the Charity is a going concern.

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees are responsible for the keeping of accounting records and the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year end of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. The Charities Act 2011 requires the Charity to ensure that the accounting records disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity. In doing so the Trustees are required to select appropriate accounting policies and apply them consistently, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business
