Trustees, annual report year to 31 March 2025
The Trustees have a duty to report on the Charity's public benefit in the Annual
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 benefrt 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 Scouting 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 uniform 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 benefts 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 assuranrEs againsl material mismanagement or loss.. these
include 2 signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to
ensure that Insuran￿ risks are covered.
The Charity is not dependent on any donors.

Summary ofthe main
activitie5 undertaken
for the public benefit
in relation to these
objects
In planning Scouting activities for the year, the Charity Commission's guidance
on public benefit is considered at Trustee meetings.
The focus of activities is to deliver a programme of youth orientated activities, the
King's Scout Awards and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme. This benefits
young people by developing their Self-confiden￿ and social skills, alongside
practical IT skills and life skills as envisaged in the nalional 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 Moor Burgess Activity Centre also known
as the District Activity 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 contribLrtion has once again been made by adult volunteers.
The Charity and Trustees are extremely grateful for the many hours our
volunteers have spent listening to and encouraging our young people and
working with them. Wrthout this valuable contribution of time, energy, and
expertise young people would not have been able to achieve so muth.
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 past year has seen Scouling continue to thrive in Tamworth and provide
Skills for Life for around 700 young people from the town. In the nine Scout
Groups and the Explorer Scout Unit young people are getting unique
experiences, adventure and skills learning, supported by a dedicated team of
adult volunteers.
This year has seen us transfomi to the new UK-wide Teams approach to
volunteering which will hopefully help us to attract. welcome and retain more
volunteers than ever before, providing even more opportunities for young people
and lightening the load on existing teams.
Challenges currently fa￿d include all volunteers learning a new and unfamiliar
adult membership system which was introduced irtr November 2024, the need lo
recruit more volunteers across the District and bringing in the biggest changes to
the strudure of Scouts since 1967.
The work of the Scout Groups and Explorer Scout Unit continues to be
supported by the Board of Trustees, the 14-24 Team, the newly fomed District
Programme Team and the District Support Team. The District Volunteer
Development Team is currently in its infancy but has re￿ntlY grown roots and
will be developed throughout the coming year.
Tamworth continues to have an established Presen￿ in the town and the
community and Scouts attracts regular new member enquiries.

District Treasurer's Report
Year ending 31 March 2025
The financial statements are detailed on Pages 10 to 18.
District
Scouting depends upon volunteers spending many hours assisting Young People with Skills for Lrfe as well
as managing the DAC and the Charity is extremely grateful to everyone who assists in this aim. During the
year there were numerous activities for Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts organised by the District
Team and these have provided super opportunities for Young People to do something different.
Income from users of the DAC have once again provided considerable income and without that the DAC
could not operate as it currently does. We are grateful to those who continue to use the facilities, not just
Scouting Groupslunits but also Community Groups.
Grants have been received in the year and details are at Note 3 to the Accounts. We are grateful for these
Grants as they have benefited the aims of the Charity and helped with some running costs.
We are pleased to note that the Income has exceeded Expenditure for this year. This recoups some of the
losses that have been made in the past two years when improvements to the DAC had been undertaken.
The excess of Income compared to Expenditure has been because of the £5,000 grant awarded to cover
insurance and eleclricity. events where over £3,000 was made, moneys re￿iVed following the closure of a
Group and reduced running costs of the DAC. It needs to be bome in mind that as shown on the Balan
Sheet Ihere is £3,911 of income paid by Groups in advance and this income will be exwnged soon.
Explorer Units
The Membership income has remained at more or less the same level as last year, but there has been a
considerable increase in the Fundraising by the Explorer Units up to £4,805. Without this fundraising the
Unit would have incU￿ed a loss over the year
Donations for use of the minibus have also increased which has off-set extra costs.
They Unit continues to endeavour to provide subsidised activities which have the aim of providing Skills for
Life or toward5 the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
We are extremely grateful to all the Leaders and Volunteers that assist the Young People.
