The trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy organisation and rules of the Scouts.

Simon Watts  3 Castlewood Cottages Dinas Powis 

Howard Gaylard   5 Cherry Close, Dinas Powis 

The building is registered with the Land Registry Wales title number CYM372050 

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 Trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities.This includes the registrtation,keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate. The Committee should consist of 3 independent representatives, Chairperson,Secretary and Treasurer together with the Group Scout Leader,Assistant Group Scout Leadser,individual section Leaders and parent representation. 

The Executive meets about 6 times per year. 

This group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsiblities of his appointment and is responsible for:The maintenance of group property  and any vehicle The raising of funds and the administration of the group finances The insurance of persons,property and equipment. Group Public Occasions Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other Adult support Appointing any sub committees as may be required 

Appointing group administrators and advisors other than those elected. 

The Group Executive has identified the major risks to which they believe the group is exposed.These have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. 

The main areas of concern have been identified as:- 

## DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING<PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

The group has sufficient building and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. 

INJURY TO LEADERS, HELPERS,SUPPORTERS AND MEMBERS The Group through payment (Capitation) fees contribute to the Scouts national accident insurance policy. 

Risk assessment are undertaken before all activities. Additional personal accident cover also exists. 

## REDUCED INCOME FROM FUNDRAISING 

The group is primarily reliant on income from subscriptions and fudraising. The group hold a reserve sufficient to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major redction In Income. 

The Committee may raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an “On Going” basis. 



## LOSS OF LEADERS 

The Group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group if there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level to a particular section or the group as a whole there would have to be a contraction or closure of a section or in the worst case scenario the complete closure of the group. 

## REDUCTION IN MEMBERSHIP 

The group provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 14 years. Substantial reduction in numbers could result in the closure of a section or the whole group. 

## OBJECTIVES and ACTIVITIES 

The objective of the group are as a unit of the Scouts namely to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a ppsitive contribution to society. 

This is described in POR by the values and method of scouting. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

Despite the effects of Corona Virus the declared membership of all sections into 2021 remains viable 

.Several Adult Leaders managed to complete Wood Badge training on line during lockdown. 

One Cub Leader was awarded the Silver Wolf award after his long involvement in the movement 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Fund Raising has been impracticable. The Scout Post was not able to run .resulting in a large drop in income . 

The final payments of grant aid for the redevelopment were not received until 2021 but reserves 

permitted the Group to make final payment to the Contractor and installation of floor finishes. 

## RESERVES 

The long term policy on reserves has been to hold sufficient to continue the charitable 

activities of the group when income and fund raising actvities fall short. WE are fortunate to have received Corona Support Grants from the Welsh Government. 

Future policy will be to retain reserves of approximately 40% of recurring expenditure. 

## INVESTMENT POLICY 

The group has not of recent years had sufficient funds to invest whilst interests are so low. 

WE have adopted a risk averse strategy with funds. All funds are this held in instant access accounts using main stream banks The Trustees have approved the report above
