We are based in a brick-built building that was constructed in 1967 and operate a 2013 diesel minibus.  In order to ensure the group has a long-term future we operate two specific reserve funds to ensure we have sufficient monies available to replace, repair and renew when required. 

The amount attributable to on going operations provides for replacements of more consumable equipment such as tents.

## **Notes to the Accounts – Year Ended 31[st] March 2022.** 

## **1.  Subscriptions.** 

This is the money collected from members – Beavers & Cubs £40 per term, Scouts & Explorers £50 per term.  Some of this is past to the group - Beavers and Cubs £31.50 per term, Scouts and Explorers £32.50 per term – to cover the operating costs of the group; the balance is retained by the section to run their programme. 

During the year 21/22 we were still under some restrictions due to Covid19. 

## **2.  Other Income.** 

Other income is Government Grants that were available to support Charities during the Covid19 crisis. 

## **3.  Capitation.** 

This is the amount paid to National, County and District Scout Associations to cover their costs.  It was £41.50 per young person on the Scout Association census as at January 2022. 

## **4.  Mini Bus Operating Costs.** 

Covers Insurance, Road Fund Licence, Servicing and other incidental costs. 

## **5.  Reserves.** 

We have 2 specific reserves and a general reserve as detailed in the table below: 

||**HQ**<br>**Refurbishment**|**Mini Bus**<br>**Replacement**|**General**<br>**Reserve**|**Total**|
|---|---|---|---|---|
||**Reserve**|**Reserve**|||
|Balance As At 1st April  2021|£ 21,171|£ 8,355|£ 33,410|£ 62,936|
|Donations & Fund Raising|£ 806|£ 91||£ 897|
|Spend From Reserve|£ 0|||£ 0|
|Excess of Operational Income Over Expenditure|||£ 3,769|£ 3,769|
|Transfer from Operational Reseve to Mini Bus Reserve||£ 504|( £ 504 )|£ 0|
|Balance as at 31st March 2022|£ 21,976|£ 8,950|£ 36,675|£ 67,602|



The HQ reserve was started in 2008 as a result of a major fundraising appeal to undertake critical refurbishment work. Since then, we have continued to add to the reserve through on-going fund raising and with monies received from incidental lettings. 

The mini bus reserve was set up in 2016 after a major fundraising drive to replace a failing vehicle.  Money was raised, the minibus purchased, and surplus money was put into the reserve.  Since then, the group has transferred in to the reserve £2 per young person per term, to ensure that we have sufficient money to purchase a replacement vehicle in the period 2025 to 2028. 

The general reserve is used to replace consumable equipment and at a minimum we aim to keep one years running costs.
