Trustees Report
The Group has had another busy year this year and has continued to provide opportunities to the young people with many camps and activities being carried out.
The Group currently does not have a Group Lead volunteer, but we have been moving forward with some significant help from the other Trustees of the Group.
We are still hoping to develop part of the annexe into a bouldering room, although this has been somewhat slower than originally planned.
Donations have been received during the financial period from:
Miss Preasse - £100.00
Included in the payments for the period to 31 March 25 is £1500 being the costs of the fireworks for the November 2025 bonfire event, ordinarily these would be included in the next financial year.
There have been no serious incidents to report during the financial year.
All trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association.

independent examiner’s report to the trustees of 1‘t Davenport Mile End Scout Group (registered charity 520560)
| report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 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 needed.
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 commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of 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 you as 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: ¢ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and ¢ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
