REPORT OF THE COUNTf EXECUTIVE COMMirfEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020
The County Executive Committee presents its report together with Financial Statements for the year ending
31st December 2020. This document should be read in conjunction with the "Policy, Organisation & Rules"
of the Scout Association (PO&R).
STRUCTURE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Scout Association exists by authority of Royal Charters, which give authority to the Bye Laws of the
Association, which are approved by Her Majesty's Privy Council. The Bye Laws, in turn, authorise the
making of rules for the regulation of the Association's affairs, as detailed in "Policy, Organisation and
Rules" Nottinghamshire County Scout Council is a Trust established within the structure of The Scout
Association to provide leadership, advice, and support for Scout Districts and through them, for Scout
Groups within Nottinghamshire. Trustees are appointed in accordance with "Policy, Organisation & Rules"
The Nottinghamshire Scout County is led by a County Commissioner and supported by the County
Executive Committee. They are accountable to the County Scout Council for the satisfactory running of the
County. The County Commissioner is assisted and supported by the County Team comprising of the
Deputy County Commissioners, County Youth Commissioner, District Commissioners, County Scout
Network Commissioner, County Training Manager, all Assistant County Commissioners, County
Administrators and Advisors, the County Scout Council, County Executive Committee and the County Scout
Active Support Units.
The County Commissioner is appointed nationally and they nominate the Chair of the County Executive.
The County Chair and Treasurer are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. All Trustees are
elected/nominated for three-year periods. The County Secretary is employed by the County Scout Council
and therefore does not need to be elected. The Executive Committee confirm that they have referred to the
guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the
Charities aims and objectives.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Scout Council exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development,
empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
As Scouts, we are guided by these values:
Integrity - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy, and loyal.
Respect - We have self-respect and respect for others.
Care- We support others and take care of the world in which we live.
Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs, and attitudes.
Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends.
Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of
Scouting and enjoy what they are doing and have fun, take part in activities indoors and outdoors, learn by
doing, share in spiritual reflection, take responsibility and make choices, undertake new and challenging
activities and make and live by their Promise.

NorriNGHAMSHIRE COUNTYSCOUT COUNCIL
REPORT OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMIThEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020
POLICIES
The order of the policies in this section infers no order of importance nor priority; they are all equal.
The Religious Policy
The Scout Movement includes Members of many different faiths and religions as well as those with no formal
religion.
The Equal Opportunities Policy
The Scout Association is part of a worldwide educational yout.h movement. The values, which underpin and
inspire its work are embodied in the Scout Promise and Law and in the Purpose of the Association. Within this
framework, the Association is committed to equality of opportunity for all young people.
The Safety Policy
The Scouts sets out to deliver everyday adventure and develop skills for life in a growing movement of adult
volunteers and young people aged 5-25, in the UK and internationally.
The Scouts recognises that life is not I"isl<-free, and in its turn, Scouting is not risk-free. As Scouts, we believe
that our members benefit most from our activities when we manage these risks to wellbeing to be as low as is
I"easonably practicable. Identifying and proportionately managing risk is a skill for life that we wish to kindle,
develop, and enhance in all of our members.
The Vetting Policy
It is the policy of The Scout Association to check all adult volunteers to ensure that: only adults appropriate for
a role are permitted to undertake responsibilities in Scouting; and that regular reviews are undertaken of adult
volunteers to ensure their continued suitability.
The Child Protection Policy
Tlie Scout Association acknowledges the duty of care to safoguard and pi"omote the welfare of children aiid
young people and Is committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects stat(Jtory responsibilities,
government guidance and complies with best practice and The Charity Commission
requirements.
The Anti Bullying Policy
"Children have the right to protection from all forms of violence (physical or mental). They must be kept safe
from harm and they must be given proper care by those looking after them., [The United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child, Article 19].
The Scout Association is committed to this ethos and seeks to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the
prevention of all forms of bullying among Members. To this end all Scouting activities should have in place
rigorous anti-bullying strategies
The Development Policy
Subject to the Rules governing age ranges and mixed membership the Scout Movement is open to all young
people of whatever background. The Scout Association recognises, however, that access to Scouting is not
equally available to all groups and communities across socipty as a whole.
The Privacy and Data Protection Policy
The Scout Association takes the protection of privacy and personal data very seriously and all adults operating
within Scouting, whether at National UKHQ or within local Scout units (i.e. Scout Groups, Districts, Counties,
Areas, Regions (Scotland) or Countries), must comply with data protection law which includes the EU General
Data Protection Regulation "GDPR"

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Despite a challenging year due to the coronavirus pandemic Scouting has continued to prosper across
Nottinghamshire. In many places the important role Scouting plays both within the community and in
helping to connect young people was a shining light for people. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone
who contributed to our successes, no matter how small the input. Highlights include:
In this difficult year, the number of young people (aged 6-25 years) in Scouting in Nottinghamshire
decreased to 5,557 - this was still a significant success as a majority of Groups met remotely
14 Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards were achieved
2 Queen's Scout Awards were achieved
51 adults were recognised for their service to Scouting and 2 members received
Gallantry/Meritorious Conduct Awards
Just under £15,000 was spent providing all Scout Groups and Explorer Units with personal
protective equipment, to ensure they could open safely
Over 150 Explorer Scouts took part in virtual Young Leader training that is helping to develop our
leaders of the future
Significant progress was made in ensuring adults across the County had completed their mandatory
safety and safeguarding training
69 Woodbadges have been achieved
The Nottinghamshire initiative of having "restart champions" in every District supported sections to
be as active as possible during the pandemic and significantly improved the number of approved
risk assessments for restart
The roll out of a much improved Nottinghamshire Scouts website
The Oak Awards were held virtually and 8 groups and 13 individuals from around Nottinghamshire
came together to celebrate their special achievements
There are 4 Scout Active Support Units who support the work undertaken. These being the
Nottinghamshire Emergency Scout Support Team (NESST), the Gang Show Support Team, the
Activities Team and the Bog Squad.
The Charity Shop in Sherwood provides valuable income, which supports our leaders by enabling
the County to provide free adult Leader training. Unfortunately, the Trustees had to make the hard
decision to close the shop in Beeston.
The role played by the volunteers of Nottinghamshire cannot be overstated. The hours given during
the year amount to approximately 400,000. The nature of that volunteering is either working with
young people on a week by week basis, being a Trustee of a Group, District or County or providing
activities, whether face to face or online.
Many young people took part in Scouting at Home and achieved the new Badge. This badge was
designed by Charlotte Boaler of the I" Kirkby in Ashfield Scout Group.

NorriNGHAMSHIRE COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL
REPORT OF THE COUNTh EXECUTIVE COMMirrEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020

programmes, social media content and welcome pack materials.

Managers
Improve retention of adults and young people by improving programme support, recognition and
induction
Start the preparations for the Gang Show 2023, World Scout Jamboree in South Korea in 2023 and
a large County Camp in 2024
Ensure the Oak Awards are as strong as ever, recognising the amazing achievements our adults
make.
Run reunion events across the County to bring our adults back together and thank them for all of
their efforts
Improve the perception of Nottinghamshire Scouts through social media, media and our valued
stakeholders
Continue to progress and improve on our adult training compliance

NorriNGHAMSHIRE COUNTY SCOUT COUNCIL
REPORT OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMirrEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020
(CONTINUED)
RISKASSESSMENT
The Trustees through the various sub-committees routinely monitor all significant risks both financial and
non-financial to which the Charity may be exposed and the County Executive Committee is aware of these
risks and their obligations to minimise and reduce them. They are satisfied that appropriate systems and
insurances are in place to mitigate those risks. When additional risks are identified systems are put in place
to mitigate such risks.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance
with applicable law and United Kingdom Account Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements
for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the Charity and of the incoming
resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial
statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP 2015
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether FRS 102 "the reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" has
been followed.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the Charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the
financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Charities Act 2011, The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the
trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
