Structure, Governance and Management
Section B
The Group's governing documents are those of The Scout Association. 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.
The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts, and the Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The Group** is managed by the Group Executive Committee, 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 of the charity, the keeping of proper accounts and the provision of returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
** In this document the word Group refers to the First Shirley Scout Group and Intrepid Explorer Unit. The latter is a District unit that has a Partnership Agreement with the First Shirley Scout Group.
The Committee consists of 3 independent officers, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Group Scout Leader, individual section leaders, parent representatives and elected members and meets a minimum of 6 times per year. This Group Executive Committee 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
Risk and Internal Control
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.
Section C Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the Group are to act as a unit of the Scout Association
The Aim of The Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local national and international communities.
The method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.

Section D
Achievements and Performance
Group Activities and Performance
The sections of 1st Shirley Scout Group and Intrepid ESU meet regularly through the year. We have completed a year where all sections are now meeting back at HQ following the lifting of covid restrictions .
All of the sections and the unit are led and supported by a strong, extremely able leadership teams who in turn are supported by many parents who contribute their time and effort to help keep the group and unit functioning smoothly. We have, during this year, restarted the beaver colony which we closed during the time of covid restrictions. Measures are now being put in place to start up our second cub section, which also closed during covid restrictions.
Most local, district, county and national events have been reinstated and all sections and the unit have actively participated again. Additionally cubs, scouts and
the explorer were able to attend summer camps again for the first time since covid restrictions were lifted.
Explorer Unit Achievements & Performance
After a very strange couple of years for the Unit it has been good to be able to start approaching a semblance of normality again. We have been able to resume Summer Camps, and had a very successful couple of Summer Camps in the New Forest, and have been able to resume many other camps and activities; it’s been good to be able to get young people (and older ones too!) away from screens and back into the outdoors.
Restarting has brought challenges, and we are finding that, despite record numbers of Explorers in the Unit, engagement is much more of an issue than before the pandemic. We continue to work to try and understand the cause of this and potential solutions.
As ever, a huge amount of thanks is due to all those who help the Unit — particularly to our amazing leader team and to our treasurer Chris Davis.
Section E
Financial Review
Investment Policy
The Group does not generally have sufficient funds to invest in longer term investments. The Group has therefore adopted a risk adverse 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 Executive Committee considers that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months core running costs, calculated at c. £30,000 based on 2019/20 as the last full year prior to the Covid pandemic.
Financial State
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a closing balance of funds of £117,529. This is down from £119,196 held at 2020-21 year end, reflecting a year where expenditure has been supported partly from government Covid grant and partly from reduced membership subscriptions. After excluding building asset values, restricted funds, and funds designated for sections, minibus and trailer replacement, general unrestricted funds stand at £51,909.
The Trustees are required to continually review and monitor our financial position and plans for the future. Our membership numbers on average have remained stable during the year, albeit at a level below that which existed before the Covid pandemic. Subscription income being paid is providing a regular cash income to the group. With the return of face-to-face scouting in line with social distancing for most of the year, the Group Executive took the decision restore the collection of the full level of membership fees in September 2021 from the 50% reduction which was in place until that time. The reduced income in the first half of the year has been offset by the receipt of grants from government. Reserves remain sufficient to ensure the continuing operation of the Group as a going concern for a period of no less than one year under current circumstances.

Notes to the Accounts
Note 1 Basis of preparation
1.1 Basis of accounting
-
These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historic cost (except that investments are shown at market value) in accordance with:
-
Accounting and Reporting by Charities – Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005);
-
and with Accounting Standards
-
and with the Charities Act 2011.
1.2 Change in basis of accounting
There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.
1.3 Changes to previous accounts
No changes have been made to accounts for previous years.
Note 2 Accounting Policies
Incoming Resources
Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Membership subscriptions
Incoming resources with related expenditure
Grants and donations
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Contractual income and performance related grants Gifts in kind
Membership subscriptions collected on behalf of other parts of the Scout Movement are reported net of amounts paid out as these subscriptions are in effect held as agents before being paid out.
Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.
Gifts in kind are accounted for at an estimate of value to the charity or the amount realized.
Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated services and facilities
Volunteer help
Investment income Investment gains and losses
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material . The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
The value of voluntary help received is not included but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

Expenditure and Liabilities
Liability recognition
Governance costs
Grants with performance conditions
Grants without performance conditions
Support Costs
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out. Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Support costs include central functions and are allocated to activity categories on a basis consistent with resource use, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Assets
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
Investments
Stocks and work in progress
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £5000. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.
Investments quoted on a stock exchange are valued at market value at year end. Other investments are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.
These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
