Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We started the year under review in April 2024 with our new County Chairman, Martin Porter, focused on the national drive for good governance, with a focus on training and assurance, building on our good progress in the previous year. The County Team was updated with Angus Beechey being appointed as County Youth Lead and Damian King picking up the batten from David Hodgkiss as County Programme Team Lead. Ben Walker subsequently joined Angus as joint Youth Lead. We were also fortunate to find a new Ennerdale Lead to take over from John Seed, with Peter Brough being an excellent successor.
As well as the changes in personnel at County Level we welcomed a new District Lead Volunteer, with Liz Axten succeeding Damian King in Kentdale District.
Much of the year was spent ensuring readiness for transfer to the new membership system in November 2024 and I am extremely grateful for all the work in ensuring records were up to date to facilitate a smooth transition.
Concerningly in June 2024, we received notification from Cumberland Council that they would be ending the grant that we had historically received from Cumbria County Council for provision of youth services in the County. Subsequently Westmorland & Furness Council made the same decision. After extensive correspondence with both councils, we can note that Westmorland & Furness Council have advised that the withdrawal was made in error and that their share would be reinstated. Cumberland Council are yet to formally advise, but we are hopeful that they will follow suit.
Our annual Dragnet event, open to Explorer Scouts and Scout Network members from around the UK celebrated its 50th year in July and was once again a sell-out success. We are extremely grateful for the volunteers that make this an exemplar event of which we are very proud.
In the summer of 2024 five Cumbrian Explorer Scouts joined 5,000 Scouts aged 16 to 22 at Roverway in Norway, which saw them take part in an expedition across southern Norway and immerse themselves in Scandinavian culture.
Our Water Activities Team goes from strength to strength, and it was great to see opportunities delivered to gain permits, to allow more young people to enjoy water activities. Furthermore, it was great to see the Land Activities Team deliver a weekend for volunteers seeking Hill Walking Permits.
I am pleased to note that the Awards and Recognition Team have been very proactive, and several well-deserved adult awards have been processed during the year, and these are noted in the appendix. Furthermore, in recognition of their service at the Coronation of HM King Charles III, Euan Gilfillan, Victoria Mitchell and Shona Tait were awarded the Coronation Medal.
At the start of 2025 we had a delegation at the National Scout Conference, Summit25 in Birmingham. This was an opportunity for all Counties to come together to reflect on what we'd achieved through our Skills for Life strategy, as well as help us refocus and renew as we shape our next strategy, which will start in 2026.

Cumbria County Scout Council
Trustees' Report (continued)
In March 2025 two Scouts and two Explorer Scouts supported by Ben Walker and a District Youth Lead, joined other Scouts from across the UK at a National Youth Forum at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester to help shape the future of the movement. Feeding into the strategy being developed at Summit25.
In addition to a multitude of top awards earned by our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts during the year it was pleasing to note two further King’s Scout Awards being earned by Shona Tait and Angus Beechey, with a number more being progressed.
We also continue to support the delivery of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme through Cumbria Scouts with the following being achieved in the year under review.

Our total membership recorded in January 2025 was 3,943, with 2,944 youth members. With over 400 young people on waiting lists to join, our focus continues to be adult recruitment and support to Groups.
Ennerdale Scout Training and Campsite.
Much practical work continues on our County campsite, with grateful thanks to a small team of volunteers. Progress has been made with United Utilities to progress a land swap to our mutual benefit. Focus continues on compliance and safety with Safe Premises Audit refreshed and procedures reviewed.
Financial review
The charity made a surplus of £12,561 (2024 - £2,076). Reserves as at 31 March 2025 amounted to £586,793 (2024 - £574,232) of which £117,161 (2024 - £99,949) were undesignated free reserves.
Page 5
Cumbria County Scout Council
Trustees' Report (continued)
Policy on reserves
The County's policy on Reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the County should income and fundraising activities fall short. The County Trustee Board considers that the County should hold an Operating Cost Reserve equivalent to approximately 12 months normal running costs, determined to be £50,000.
In addition to the Operating Cost Reserve, at year end the County held an accumulated reserve of unrestricted general funds of over £50,000, together with monies reserved for: improvement of the facilities at Ennerdale, development initiatives and financial support for international activities.
Principal funding sources
The principal sources of funding for the County are: Annual Levy on all Young People Grants Income from investments Gifts, Donations and Legacies
Investment policy and objectives
The County maintains a low risk strategy for the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash or short term bonds (maximum duration 2 years) with mainstream banks or building societies and the level of holdings reflects the limits of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
The County Trustee Board regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure the County 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 County Trustee Board considers cash flow requirements.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The Charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments.
Cash flow risk
The Charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in scout numbers and interest rates. The Charity uses short term bonds to minimise exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Page 6
Cumbria County Scout Council
Trustees' Report (continued)
Credit risk
The Charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments.
The Charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The Charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance. The charity is funding the Jamboree costs while the Scouts and their families are raising funds. Although this should be covered by fundraising, the time delay may cause liquidity issues for the charity, as would any shortfall. The trustees are aware of this and are involved in encouraging the relevant Scout leaders and their Scouts to reach their targets within the necessary timeframes.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The County'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 (POR) of The Scout Association.
The County is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the POR of The Scout Association.
Organisational structure
The County is managed by the County Trustee Board, the members of which are the 'Charity Trustees' of the County Scout Council which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with the legislation applicable to charities. This includes registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Trustee Board comprises: a Chair, Treasurer, County Lead Volunteer, County Youth Lead Volunteer, members nominated by the County Lead Volunteer in consultation with the County Chair, and members elected by the County Scout Council. The Trustee Board meets at least 4 times each year.

Cumbria County Scout Council
Trustees' Report (continued)
Risk and Internal Control
The County Trustee Board has identified the major risks to which they believe the County is exposed. These have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are:
-
Failure to follow Safeguarding Procedures. All adults are trained in Safeguarding procedures and carry a reminder card. The Scout Association maintains a dedicated team to deal with any issues as a matter of urgency.
-
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The County has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.
-
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The County through membership fees contributes to the Scout Association's national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
-
Reduced income. The County is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and grants. The County holds a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Trustee Board could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the County, either temporarily or permanently, if necessary.
-
Unauthorised expenditure. Limits on spending commitments by Lead Volunteers and other spending officers responsible for the specific activities, are set in an annual budget agreed by the Trustee Board. Other spending is specifically authorised by the Treasurer, the Finance & General Purposes Sub-Committee or the Trustee Board depending on the amount concerned. All cheques require two signatories and cheque signing limits are in place.

1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Cumbria County Scout Council meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Page 15
Cumbria County Scout Council
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £200.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Page 16
Cumbria County Scout Council
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Not depreciated as residual value is Land and buildings more than cost Office equipment 25% reducing balance 25% reducing balance (boats 10-20% Boats and camping equipment straight line)
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Current asset investments
Current asset investments are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value / market value.
Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
Trade debtors
Are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business and are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of is established when there is objective evidence that the will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 17
Cumbria County Scout Council
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Trade creditors
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charity during the year.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Page 18
Cumbria County Scout Council
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of nancial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
