AGM Report

Annual General Meeting

Date: 26[th] October 2021 Venue: The Lodge/Zoom

Group Scout Leaders Report – Michael Reid

Hi All and welcome to the Gorse Hill Scouts Annual General Meeting.

It has been another eventful year as Group Scout Leader of the group. Scouting during the pandemic was a difficult experience but one that we have prevailed through and the group is growing overall which is great to see.

On the Scouting side we have successfully increased the number of young people in our group by 30% which is a fantastic achievement especially coming out of the pandemic. We still have room to grow but this is a great first step in the right direction with Beavers and Cubs now 70% full after some successful recruiting at the end of summer.

We have unfortunately lost two leaders this year due to university commitments now with 7 leaders helping out within the sections. Our brand new Beaver leadership team from last year have settled well into the role with Karis, Gill and young leader Ethan delivering a fantastic and exciting programme that has enabled 6 Beavers to gain their Chief Scout Bronze awards. Tracey, Kath have continued their fantastic work with Cubs helping one of them achieve the top cub award of the Chief Scout Silver. Scouts have successfully sent up 4 yougng people to our new Explorer unit with 3 of them achieving the Chief Scout Gold award for the first time since the section restarted 4 years ago. I’d like to thank Chris, Joe and Macky for all their hard work in running the section.

This year marked out 110[th] anniversary of the scout group. Unfortunately due to coronavirus restrictions again we didn’t manage to mark this achievement as emphatically as we would have hoped, however we are hopeful that a planned celebration for our 111[th] year will be able to go ahead as planned.

Lastly a shameless plug as you know we are all volunteers and we could always do with more help. As I’ve highlighted in the report we have grown the group quite successfully in the last couple of years with the amount of young people we now have, however unfortunately we have not had the same growth in the leadership team and this is something we will need to address in the near future. We could always use more volunteers whether that would be to become a leader, help update our website, complete repairs on the hut, clean the hut or even help drive equipment to camp we would be incredibly grateful and if you think you would like to help please get in contact.

AGM Report

Treasurers Report – Mandy Ward

Beavers Section Report – Karis Honey

This has been my first full year as a Beaver leader and what a year it has been. We have completed lots of activities in our normal meetings such as ice cream making, magic tricks, learning all about communication, indoor archery and more. As things get back to normal more next year hopefully the Beavers can move on to some of the more adventurous activities that Scouting can offer.

Cubs Section Report – Tracey Barnes

We have completed a wide variety of activities this year as part of our balance programme, unfortunately due to the pandemic we have not been able to go camping this year however we are confident we will be able to get away next year. I have also had the privilege to present our top awars the Chief Scout Silver to one of our very hard working and well deserved cubs that we have now sadly said goodbye to as they progressed through to scouts.

AGM Report

Scouts Section Report – Michael Reid

We have had a successful year in the scout section awarding 3 Chief Scout Gold awards to our Scouts moving up to Explorers, the first time we have given out gold awards since the section was restarted 4 years ago. We managed to sqeeze in a summer camp at Forest Camp site where we completed our expedition challenge, kayaking and low ropes. We have held some joint meetings with the explorers to ensure the scouts know what to expect when they move up and delivered a balanced programme that has led to us giving out 71 badges this year.

LT700006 - Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees (July 2019)

Introduction

This document is to help Independent Examiners of Scout Group’s, District’s, County’s, Area’s or Regions’ (Scotland) annual accounts.

Full guidance from the charity regulators should be read and followed. This can be found on the links below along with the templates for company charities:

Charity Commission for England & Wales – Independent examination of charity accounts: examiners (CC32) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-examination-of-charity-accounts-examinerscc32

The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator – Independent examination: A Guide for Independent Examiners https://www.oscr.org.uk/guidance-and-forms/independent-examination-a-guide-for-independentexaminers/

The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland – Guidance for independent examiners (ARR07) - - - https://www.charitycommissionni.org.uk/manage your charity/annual reporting/

It is important that the right template is used for the type of accounts being independently examined and the country that the Scout Group, District, County, Area or Region (Scotland) is within.

Extra guidance to help work out which template to use, can be found in the appendices of Accounting & Audit Requirements for Group, Districts, Counties/Areas & Scottish Regions (LT103950).

Notes

A qualified template is one where the examiner has a concern to highlight to the trustees. An unqualified template is one where the examiner has no concern to highlight to the trustees.

In these templates you will see sections where the name of the relevant Scout Council needs to be inserted. This could be for the Scout Group, District, County, Area or Region (Scotland). For ease of reading the templates will say “Insert Scout Group/District name”.

LT700006 - Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees (July 2019)

Template 3: Qualified report for a non-company charity preparing receipts and payments accounts

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of [Insert Scout Group/District name] Scout Council

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the [Insert Scout Group/District name] for the year ended [Insert date of year end].

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the [Insert Scout Group/District name] you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the [Insert Scout Group/District name] accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement- matter of concern identified

I have completed my examination. I have identified matters of concern that give me reasonable cause to believe that:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the [Insert Scout Group/District name] as required by section 130 of the Act; and

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

The receipts and payments accounts prepared for the [Insert Scout Group/District name] show cash received in the year of [Insert total figure of cash received] however [Insert a description of the issues that cause concern].

[For example: No records have been kept to match the record of the donations received to the deposits made and cash balances were retained and not deposited at the charities bank. The only written record retained is a letter advising a grant award of £10,000. The majority of the expenditure was made in cash from retained unbanked cash or via cash withdrawals using a charity debit card but few receipts were kept. Aside from invoices for utilities and rent and play equipment, there are no records of volunteer or other expenses. Total cash spent amounted to £86,000 with receipts for only £41,732 leaving £44,268 of payments without any supporting records.]

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of [Insert Scout Group/District name] Scout Council

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended [Insert date of year end] which are set out on pages ………. to …………

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than disclosed below*]
