Structure, Governance and Management

The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts. 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 Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. The charity trustees are resposible for complying with all legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping of accurate accounts and completing returns to the Charities Commission as appropriate.

The Group is managed by the Group Scout Leader and supported by the Executive Committee. The Committee consists of Ex Officio members, Elected members and Co-opted representatives of the Group Scout Council.

The Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the appointment and is responsible for:

The maintenance of Group property;

The raising of funds and the administration of Group finances; The insurance of persons, property and equipment; Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support; Appointing any sub committees that may be required; and Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected.

Objectives and Aims

The objectives of the Group are 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.

Public Benefit Statement

The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.

Risk and Internal Control

The Group Executive Committee has indentified 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 that have been identified are:

Damage to buildings, property and equipment. The Group would request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as, churches, community centres and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.

Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the capitation fees contributes to The Scout Association's national accident insurance policy. Risk assessments are undertaken before all activities.

Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The Group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the Group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently.

Reduction or the 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 in a particular section of the Group or as a whole, then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.

Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities for Young People aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or the Group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group.

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