Section B - Structure, Governance & Management

Description of the Charity’s trusts:

The County’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, Organisations and Rules of The Scout Association. In addition, the County has its own Constitution that is reviewed annually.

The charity is a trust, established under its rules that are common to all Scouts. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy Organisation & Rules (POR) of The Scout Association.

Additional governance issues:

The County is managed by the County Executive Committee, the members of which are the Charity Trustees of the County Scout Council, which is an educational charity. As charity trustees, they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to The Charity Commission as appropriate.

In line with POR and the North Yorkshire County Scout Council Constitution , the Executive Committee consists of 6 ex-officio members which includes the Chair and Treasurer. Five members are elected by the County Scout Council and up to 5 are nominated by the County Commissioner in consultation with the County Chair. The Committee meets at least 4 times each year and also includes an employed County Secretary, who is not a Trustee.

The County Executive Committee exists to support the County Commissioner in meeting the responsibilities of their appointment and is responsible for inter alia :

Risk and Internal Control:

The County has in place systems of internal control that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include 2 signatories for all payments and insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

Section C - Objectives & Activities

Summary of the objectives of the charity as set out in its governing document: The objectives of the County are as a unit of The Scout Association.

The Purpose of Scouting. Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

The Values of Scouting. We act with care, respect, integrity and cooperation, exploring our own and others’ beliefs. As Scouts we are guided by these values:

The Scout Method. 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; make and live by their Promise.

The main activities of the Scout County are:

Section D - County Commissioner’s Report - Achievements & Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year:

For my part of the last year as County Commissioner, it was a joy to see Groups beginning to come back and deliver some great Scouting within their sections. Facebook was alive with exciting young people enjoying Scouting as it should be, active and in person.

Whilst we did not do any County events during this period, it was all about supporting people to get back to what we do best. However, just before I left, I was invited to Scarborough & District where I probably saw the first large-scale event in over 2 years at their Christmas Carol Service. It was such a feel-good event.

All our District Commissioners deserve huge praise for guiding their teams through the pandemic and keeping Scouting alive!

I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank the County Team that supported me through my tenure as County Commissioner. The pandemic was a tough time for all but with the support of the leadership team of Linda, Neil, Joe, Tom, Lewis and Mark, as well as the wider County Team, I always felt supported. Thanks also go to David and Iris in the County Office as well as to Marco, our County Chair.

Census was published just after I finished and I know that as ‘Team North Yorkshire’ we are back on track for numbers and a steady increase in volunteers. I was delighted to hand over to Max at the end of February and I know that the County is in safe and inspirational hands as he leads you over the coming years.

Mark Edwards County Commissioner 1[st] May 2017 to 28[th] February 2022

I am very proud to have taken on the role of County Commissioner for North Yorkshire this year. I am also very thankful to Mark Edwards, our former CC, for his fantastic work particularly with establishing and firming up our incredible District Leadership Teams.

In the four months I have been CC, I have met so many of our County’s incredible dedicated volunteers – from frontline programme deliverers, to campsite teams, to trustee boards and support teams. It was amazing to see over 800 Cubs, Pack Leaders and volunteers participate in our County Cub Camp in June, which made a triumphant return after a 4 year gap.

Throughout the remainder of this year, and into next year, we will see the next big step in changes for The Scouts. These changes are going to affect every volunteer and the aim of the project is to make the volunteers’ life easier! We need to continue making sure Scouting is relevant in the modern-age, in particularly regarding digital access, and how we welcome and train our new volunteers into Scouting. I don’t think there’s a single Group amongst us who would not like more volunteers! And we all know that our waiting lists are getting longer than ever before.

Page 5 of 19

Of course, changes from Gilwell are not a new thing for many of us – in the last 30 years, we have seen successful additions to the movement – going fully co-educational in the 90s, the introduction of Beaver Scouts, and more recently Squirrel Scouts and changing from Ventures to Explorers and Network. Each one of these has helped ensure that 115 years after our charity was founded, we are still the largest youth-movement in the United Kingdom.

In North Yorkshire, I have also been so proud to see how many of you have been supporting Neil Underwood and I with improving how volunteers access our Adventurous Activity Permit scheme. I was also very humbled to see how many people offered their support to Phil Bennett with our Transformation working groups.

Every one of our volunteers plays a huge role in ensuring all of our young people are enjoying fun, adventure and challenge. Scouting is an utterly valuable charity not just in providing outdoor education, but also resilience and mental health support for our young people, particularly after the impact the pandemic has had upon them all. No matter how much time you are able to give, your innovation, creativity and initiative are key to providing an incredible programme of amazing activities and providing skills for life to our 5,000 young people in North Yorkshire every week.

So thank you again for everything you do for Scouting in North Yorkshire. I look forward to working with all of you during the years to come.

Section E - Financial Review

Reserves Policy:

The Trustees have reviewed the County’s financial strategy with a view to setting general reserves at a level sufficient to cover its running expenses should its income fall short, or if unforeseen emergencies or opportunities occur. Particular regard has been given to the County’s employment responsibilities to its paid staff. The County Executive Committee considers that the County should hold at least a sum equivalent to 12 months of normal running costs, approximately £80k.

The County held general reserves against this of £13k at the end of the financial year (£76k at 31[st] March 2021). This is in addition to unrestricted funds designated to meet the longer term aims of capital investment in equipment and facilities and contributions towards new development projects. The Reserves Policy will continue to be reviewed annually.

Investment Policy:

The County has adopted a low risk strategy for the investment of its funds. Surplus funds are held in deposits with UK banks.

Section F - Declaration

The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the

North Yorkshire County Scout Council

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 set out on pages 9 to 19.

Responsibilities & Basis of The Report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. I have completed my examination and I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts

For the year ending 31[st] March 2022

1

Accounting policies

North Yorkshire County Scout Council is an unincorporated association. Its governing document is Royal Charter granted 4 January 1912. The charitable objects are the instruction of young people in the principles of discipline, loyalty and citizenship.

1.1 Basis of Accounting

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

North Yorkshire County Scout Council meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accounts are set out below.

1.2 Change in the basis of accounting

There has been no change to the accounting policies during the year.

1.3

Incoming resources

Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when its receipt is probable and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are included gross in the SoFA.

1.4 Members’ subscriptions

Membership subscriptions collected on behalf of other parts of the Scout Movement are reported in the SoFA net of any amount paid out. This is because these subscriptions are in effect held as agents prior to being paid out.

1.5 Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

1.6 Gift Aid

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

1.7 Contractual income

This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Page 12 of 19

1.8 Gifts in kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts 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.

1.9 Donated services and facilities

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.

1.10 Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

1.11 Investment income

1.12 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

1.13 Grants

Where the charity gives a grant, it is 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. If there are 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.

1.14 Support costs

Support costs include central functions of administration for the charity.

Page 13 of 19

1.15 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

1.16 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.17 Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

1.18 Basic financial liabilities

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount, if payment is due within one year.

1.19 Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

1.20 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held on call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.21 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are funds which the donor has specified are to be solely used for areas of the County’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the County.
