They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. (e.g. trust deed, constitution) How the charity is constituted The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts. (e.g. trust, association, company) Trustee selection methods The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, (e.g. appointed by, elected by) Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice) You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about: Policies and procedures adopted for: a) the induction and training of trustees; b) trustee' consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them The Group is managed by the Trustee Board, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout Group which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate. The Trustee Board consists of 3 independent representatives, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Group Lead Volunteer, individual section leaders (if opted to take on the responsibility) and parent’s representation (where possible) and meets every 2 months.

This Group Trustee Board exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the appointments and is responsible for: The maintenance of Group property; The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance; The insurance of persons, property and equipment; Group public occasions; Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support; Appointing any sub committees that may be required; Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected. 3rd Davyhulme (Lostock) Scout Group (Registered Charity Nr. 521688) 2 LT700001 (3rd December 2018) |**Section B**|**Structure, governance and management (continued)**| |---|---| ||Risk and Internal Control
The Group Trustee Board has identified the major risks to
which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas of concern that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Group
would request the use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations such as the church,
community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal
arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has
sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to
mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of
activities should there be a major reduction in income. The
Board could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the
income to the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily
or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If
there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a
whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities
for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the group as whole then
there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure
of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure
of the Group.| 3rd Davyhulme (Lostock) Scout Group (Registered Charity Nr. 521688) 3 LT700001 (3rd December 2018) |**Section C**|**Objectives and activities**| |---|---| |Summary of the main activities in relation

• how expenditure has supported the key

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on

(including any fundraising);
• investment policy and objectives;
**Investment Policy**
The Group's Income and Expenditure is very small and as a
consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in
longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The
Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the
investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only
mainstream banks or building societies.
**Reserves Policy**
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources
to continue the charitable activities of the group should
income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group
Trustee Board considers that the group should hold a sum
equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £15,000.
In
addition, money will be set aside for repairs and maintenance
of the HQ and grounds.
The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank
balances and the interest rates received to ensure the group
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 Group Executive considers
the cash flow requirements.

The Leaders/Helpers have amazed me for another year. Amazing trips with Young People attending the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea, although not the trip that was expected, they all had a fabulous time. The group turned 80 in May 2023 and an amazing group camp at PGL was attended in April 23 – a massive thank you to Alison Yarwood for all the time and help she gave organising this event. Thank you to all the leaders that attended and kept the young people having fun and learning new skills. We also held an 80[th] birthday party at the John Alker, well done to all the leaders / helpers who made this party possible and for the amazing buffet. The band have also been growing in numbers and lots of fundraising events on the cards to go towards their trip to Disneyland Paris. The Beaves and Cub sections merged in September 2023, a successful journey and this was all due to the leaders that made this happen and continue to do so. Lots of trophies from the sections have also been awarded with yet again 3D coming out very well, they include Row Flag, Backwoods Cooking, Bowling Competition, Chess Competition, BST, Cardboard Canoe, Cub Mudder and Cub Sports day just to name a few. B.R.A.V.O to all. I would like to thank all the Leaders and Young Leaders for all your dedication and hard work you all put into volunteering and this also includes the work that goes on behind the scenes with the trustees’ meetings. There has been lots of change in scouting in the past few years and this has required leaders to work a lot harder with more paperwork and courses, so thank you for all your patience and understanding with the changes. Thank you so much for continuing your roles and support in scouting. B.R.A.V.O. ## Beavers Section Report 2023/2024 The past 12 months have been fun filled and exciting for our Beavers. Starting with Beavers attending the Groups 80[th] Anniversary camp at PGL where they all got stuck into all the activities they had to offer. Beavers also took part in the District St Georges day parade, and all looked so smart! Over the past 12 months the Beavers have also attended Pets at home, Sale water park, Chill factor Snow Park. The Beavers have gained so many badges with almost everything who has gone up to cubs gaining there bronze award. In District events we attended the dominos competition and the district Christmas night out at Antz in you Pants in Altrincham. In January we held a joint sleepover with another Beaver group from Wythenshawe and fun was had by all. We are all so excited for the next year ahead with lots of activities and events already planned and ready to get stuck into! A final Thank you to our brilliant leadership team who without this would not be possible!!! ## **- Powell Pack review March 2023 March 2024** A lot has happened to Powell Pack in this review period.

We would like to say a huge “Thank you” for all that Becky did during her time at 3D & wish her well in her new role as district Cub Leader. Sept 2023 saw the amalgamation of Baden & Powell cub packs & Shahid taking on the role of Akela along with Adam, Alison, Ian & Dave. Unfortunately, due to work commitments Shahid had to take a step back. Cath & rob were welcomed into the leadership team who have pulled together now comprising of Adam, Alison, Cath, Dave, Ian & Rob along with 3 superb young leaders. Jan 2023 saw a county Badge design competition to design a badge for a crime prevention badge.

Finally, “Thank you” to Adam, Cath, Dave, Ian, Rob & our young leaders for all their help , support & commitment . ## The Scouts report April, started off with our Group Camp at PGL. All had a great time, we also invested many of the new Scouts that had come up from Cubs whilst on the activities something they will never forget. May, We all Celebrated our 80[th] anniversary June, We took part in our District camping competition “The Row Flag” held at 5[th] Urmston HQ. The team worked very hard on showing There Scouting skills off and how it’s done by coming 1[st ] A big BRAVO to them all.

July, As we Won The Row Flag we started July with the county camping competition. This took place at 5[th] Urmston’s HQ the team worked very hard over the weekend 2[nd] place a big BARVO to all the team. Also, in July we when on a hike to Blackburn and invited 8[th] Flixton’s Scout troop to join us we had 28 Scouts hiking, and we invested 5 of our new Scouts too. It was a great day’s hike.

March, Winter camp at Bispham Scout camp we camped in the Lavvu’s which are 2 open sided huts that face each other with a fire pit in the middle to keep us warm this was the first time we have used these and was a completely different way to camp sleeping under the stars. The only lesson we learnt was to make sure next time to take plenty of dry wood with us. We have also been to Hollinwood Scout Camp a few times as a work party on the site clearing areas planning trees and flowers doing our bit for the community of Scouting. And plenty of hikes too.. All looking forward to another year of scouting. ## **3[rd] Davyhulme Explorers – Annual Report 2023/2024** - 68 badges earned, 2 platinum awards others include: Hikes, Air Activities, Community Impact. Nights Away, Musician, Camper and Navigator. - Cycling expedition - We combined a camping weekend with a cycling expedition by cycling across country to Dunham Massey scout camp, sticking mostly to traffic free bridleways and quieter country roads whilst carrying our camping gear. We stayed two nights and had a great time raft building on the Saturday. There were a few other scout groups on the camp that weekend that were a little new to scouting, so our Merlin pack offered to put on a bonfire and sing along night for all. They prepped all the wood, organised the other groups and lead the singing all night. The other packs came to see us in the morning to thank the explorers for a fantastic night! They are a real credit to scouting! - Air Activities Badge - We visited Barton airfield and had a tour of the hangers and tower by a local guide. Whilst we were there, we got to observe a live, rotors spinning refuel of a helicopter much closer than most people can get which was pretty cool, hiding behind the fire safety truck. I also setup a flight simulator night to get their badge, using Microsoft flight sim on the large projector with a flight stick controller. each explorer got to fly up out of barton, over the Trafford center and attempt a landing again back at barton. It was a big hit - Carboard Canoe Race - we won a trophy! Fastest or furthest explorer pack on the day. I forget which sorry. We had great fun building the boat which was piloted by 4 on the day. Special thanks to Urmston Carpets for saving me a load of astro turf rolls which are a little stronger than your usual carboard tubes. We spent at least three nights building that boat, with some explorers doing the design and build, whilst others did a splendid job decorating it. - They Attended BST in 2023, but I don't remember where they placed sorry. - Musician badge - Jemma and a few of the band members graciously came along and let us all have a go of the various instruments as part of the musician staged badge. A fun, very Noisy night lol - Shooting - We did a few nights practise shooting with the groups air riffles ahead of the district shooting competition. We invited 8[th] Flixton down to join us for these sessions which was a nice way of sharing our resources and getting to know other people in the district. Unfortunately we struggled to get a team together for the competition, the girls in the group didn't particularly enjoy shooting, but at least we gave them the opportunity to try it. - Cooking Badge - The explorers designed a menu one night and invited their parents along another evening to be served their creations. - Night Hike - We took them up Winter hill in the winter - at night. It was a great night and the weather held out for us, giving us a clear view of the city lights below. Shahid and Rob kindly accompanied us in Allans absence. - Fireworks Night - Great fund raising event where the explorers worked as a superb team to cook what felt like hundreds of burgers as a team. They had fun doing it, observing good hygiene and food safety. They interacted with the public really professionally and just gave it their best. - Xmas Party with 8[th] Flixton. We met up again with 8F at Christmas to have a joint Xmas party. We put on some games and pizza. All had a great time, with Dance Party on the Nintendo wii on the big projector being a great source of hilarity. The two groups got on really well. It was nice to see this kind of cross group co-op carried on in the new year when Simon organised a monthly district meet up between all the explorers in the area. I Hope this small snap shot helps. We had lots of plans for much more, but as you can understand, with Allan being absent for large periods of time, it was difficult to keep the plans and give the explorers the continuity they deserved. Much of the winter meetings were a little Ad-hoc depending on who could help on the evening. I am so very Grateful to all the leaders who helped us keep the Explorer pack keeping going and especially for Rob and Jo taking up the mantle and delivering a great program going forwards. 1 ## Band Report 2023 to 2024 The bands year has certainly been an exciting and hectic year! The band performed at multiple parades and events including our district St Georges day parade and Remembrance Sunday Parade and providing the bugles for the sounding and last post – Which also ended up on ITV Regional News with some fab footage of the Bugle party and the band! In October the band got the amazing chance to spend a day with Grenadier Guards in London, we got to see them perform in changing of the guards, have a talk about life in army service and we got to rehearse and march with them. It was a brilliant opportunity for those who attended. In March we took our drummers down to Coventry where they got to take part in a Drumming workshop ran by the Royal Marines and the full band spent the weekend at Dunham Massey for our Annual Band Camp. Back in May 2023 the band put in an Audition video for the chance to perform at Disneyland Paris and after a few weeks waiting, we found out we were successful to perform in May 2024. Over the past 12 months the Band have threw in all efforts in raising money for this amazing trip, all together raising almost £10,000. To do this we have held an 80s Disco, Summer Fair, A Concert at Urmston Grammer with the amazing Don’t stop queen now tribute act, fund raising concerts at the Trafford centre and a quiz night. Urmston District also honoured us with a £1000 donation. 3[rd] Davyhulme also very kindly donated £3000 towards the cost of travel for the trip of which we are extremely thankful for! Our members are working so hard towards this performance, and I know it is going to be amazing! It’s been a Jam-Packed year, and we cannot wait for the next coming to finally perform at Disney and see what amazing opportunities come our way As always, the band would be nothing without its amazing volunteers and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for there hard work and dedication!! 3rd Davyhulme {Lostock) Scout-Group (Charity no. 521688) Receipts and payments account For th? y•ar 0110412023 To 3110312024 Receipts and payrnents 2023124 Unr••trlct•d fund• 2022123 Unro•trf¢t•d fund8 R•eg1 ts Don•tlon• l• •clu and 8lmllar In¢orn• M•mbar8hi $ub$G ions L888 M8mbeership Subscrlptions p•ld on Natlcnavcoun IAre¥Dlslrlcl Net M8mber8hl Subscrl tion8 r8talnod OcsnotSons Le acle nd Account Gift Aid Other BimSlar InGom• 12 138 180 JS,891 1 182 1&131 Sub t¢>tsl Malnteneng¢0 Other rAnt rant Sub tot•1 ro•• FundrAl•ln Dthil 1 D•t•il 2 Detail 3 Olh•r fundralBln gVOllt• Sub total Scout hut Incc+m• Hlre of bulldln Hlr• ol m•nl Olh4r Scoul hui Income 130 6011 Sybtotsl i¥o' Inv8$tm•nl In¢om• Bank Int•r88t Socio Inlore$t The Scout Associ•llon Short T•rm Inve8tm¢nl Servlca Other Involtment Ineam• Floats 176 61 764 aiJii Tot•1 Gr088 Incom• ', V,338 A•••t￿d InvMtm•nt •ilM. •t¢.
