Report.
They have assessed aims, activities, and charitable objectives, which are to actively
engage and support young people in their personal development. empowering them
to make a positive contribution to society. The Trustees believe that the Charity has
met the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria for both the advancement of
education and the advancement of citizenship or community development.
The Scouting Movement complies with the two key principles set by the Commission
with regard to public benefit..
1) Identifiable benefit: The way in which ScoLrting is carried out helps young
people develop towards their full potential., this benefit is directly linked to the
Purpose of Scouting.
2) Public benefit: Scouting is a national Movement open to young people aged
from 4-25. Full membership is restricted to young people and adults who are
willing to make the Scout Promise. There are funds available for unrform and
activities so that young people are not excluded from activities if they are
unable to pay. Any private benefits of Scouting are incidental. The benefits of
Scouting are further demonstrated throughout this report.
The Trustees have completed a review of the major risks to the Charity and have
annual renewal procedures in place to manage any risks. Systems are in place to
provide reasonable assurances against material mismanagement or loss,. these
include 2 Signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to
ensure that insurance risks are covered.

Summary of the main
activities undertaken
for the public benefit
in relation to these
objects
In planning activities for the year, the Charity Commission's guidanGe on public
benefit is considered at Trustee meetings.
The focus of activities is to deliver a programme of youth orienlated activities. the
King's Scout Awards and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme. This benefits
young people by developing their self-confidence and social skills, alongside
practical IT skills and lrfe skills as envisaged in the national Vision. Support to
adult volunteers is provided through training and development.
Scouts welcome all people regardless of personal background, faith, gender, or
personal circumstances.
The Charity continues to operate the District Adivity Centre {'DAC') for the
benefit of Scouting and the wider community in the Tamworth Area. The
Trustees are grateful to those organisations who continue to use the DAC.
Additional details of objectives and activities
Contribution made by
volunteers
A great Gontribution has once again been made by adult volunteers.
The Charity and Truslees are extremely grateful for the many hours our
volunteers have spent listening to and encouraging our young people and
working with Ihem. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy, and
expertise young people would not have been able to achieve so much.
The Trustees also want to acknowledge the considerable amount of time and
effort put in by many people to the continued operation, administration, and
maintenance of the DAC.

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the
Charity during the
year.
The last year has seen the slart of some of the massive changes to our
volunteering culture which will continue well into 2024 and beyond.
As we are learning what's new from Scout Headquarters, we are implementing
some changes now and we are busy planning for others that will come soon.
These changes will revolutionise how we organise ourselves as volunteers in the
Scout Groups in Tamworth and across the District, helping us to work smarter
and, importantly, make us more attractive to new volunteers.
Tamworth has fantastic volunteers providing exciting opportunities for young
people every day of the week and our numbers have once again grown so that
we are back to pre-pandemic membership figures. Recruiting more volunteers to
help with this is the priority now.
Our numbers have continued to grow and we are now back to pre-pandemic
levels, despite having to close one of our Scout Groups due to a lack of young
people.
Plans for the future growth of Scouting in Tamworth remain focussed on
supporting the existing Scout Groups to run outstsnding, high quality balanced
and excrling programmes, which should encourage natural growth and help us to
recruit new volunteers.

Financial review
Brief statement on the
Charity's policy on
reserves
During the year, the Trustees have continued to consider the amount held in the
lighl of its legal duty to apply charitable funds within a reasonable amount of time
of receiving them.
The Trustees have also reviewed the continuing need to ensure that the DAC is
kept up to standard and the need to consider the financial arrangements of the
Groups within the District.
The Reserves Policy covers these aspects.
Furthèr financial revlew detalls
The main sources of funds are the District Levy which is paid by Groups based
on the number of young people declared on the Groups, Annual Return along
with Income for use of the DAC and activities undertaken within the DAC and
events organised by volunteers..
The majority of income is applied to the activities provided for young people.
POR sets out the manner in which funds may be invested. The Trustees have
adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of funds.
All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks. The Trustees regularly
monitor the levels of bank balan￿S and interest rates received to ensure that the
Charity obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements.
The Charity does not make grants or gifts to outside organisations or individuals.

District Treasurer's Report
Year ending 31 March 2024
The financial statements are detailed on Pages 10 to 17.
District
Fortunately most of the organisations and Scout Groups who use the District Activity Centre I"DAC°} have
continued to do so. This could not have been achieved without the many hours spent by our volunteers
managing the DAC and assisting in organising and supervising the activities undertaken by Young People.
Grants have been received during the year and more details are at Note 3 to the Accounts. The Charity is
extremely grateful for these which have benefitted the Charity's aims lo improve the DAC and Scouting in
Tamworth District. The remainder of any Grants will be expended in the forthcoming year.
The main reason for the expenditure exceeding income is because the Trustees took the decision to install
new ramps and a fully automatic front door to the DAC. Whilst grants were received, there was still a cost
to the Charity which was funded from Reserves.
During the year, there were many activities organised by Volunteers including for the first time for Squirrels
including summer and Chrislmas Parties as well as a Challenge day. Beavers again enjoyed the annual
sleepover as well as a bowling evening. Cubs had a football challenge and Scouls took part in bowling,
and an expedition weekend. All sections took part in the Paddle Sports Day and a number of Groups went
to Coastal water Activity Camps. As stated above none ol this could have been achieved without
onsiderable hours being provided by volunteers.
Explorer Units
The membership of the Unit has continued to increase with a subsequent income in subscriptions being
paid.
Due the cost of living crisis affecting some families, the team hav8 continued to keep the Gosts of meeting
nights at the DAC to a minimum, enabling the Unrt to subsidise more expensive activities.
Part of the Grant of £2,700 for individual equipment in respect of Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme that
was received last year has been used to pay for Expedition Personal Equipment.
Due to the cancellation of a trip to Ghana, the Unit received moneys raised by members and this income
has been earmarked for future activities. Additionally deposit payments towards the 2024 Summer Camp
have already been received which will be used in due course. A Just Giving Account has been established
and this has raised £320.66. There has also been considerable other fundraising and a claim of Gift Aid
received.
Without the fundraising etc the Unit's income would not have been sufficient to enable activities to be
subsidised by around 100h.
