MAJOR ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE YEAR April 2024 to March 2025
Trustees now are responsible for governance matters; the Group Lead Volunteer will report separately on scouting operations.
A new safety risk assessment has been carried out on our headquarters. This included annual safety checks on portable electrical equipment and servicing of the boiler and fire extinguishers.
A budget forecast predicted a possible deficit for the year. As a result, it was agreed by the Group Council, at the AGM in 2024 that subscriptions would be increased for the first time in several years from 1[st] January 2025.
A modified Group Constitution, in line with Scout Association requirements, was also adopted at this AGM.
Gift Aid on subscriptions continues to be claimed. For this year, this resulted in income to the Group of nearly £2,700.
Smart meters were installed during the year. Observation of the electricity meter showed that there is a high cost to using the fluorescent lighting tubes. As a consequence, we are trying to leave as many lights off as is practicable. These tubes will gradually be replaced with LED’s which are much cheaper to run.
During term time, the hall is now being hired out to a Mother and Toddler group. This is also helping to supplement our income.

The accounts shown on the next 3 pages are a consolidation of the accounts from 7 sections, Squirrels, 2 Beaver Colonies, 2 Cub Packs and 2 Scout Troops plus the Trustee’s accounts.
The Trustees income was down on the previous year even though numbers remained static and more income came from premises hire. This income pays for the running costs, energy, insurance, repairs and maintenance etc. Gift Aid, grants and fundraising pays for equipment The Trustee expenditure was also less than the previous year when maintenance cost more.
In the coming financial year we expect more income from premises hire
