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. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice) You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about: Policies and procedures adopted for: a) the induction and training of trustees; b) trustee' consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them The Group is managed by the Group Trustee Board, 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.

Their support helps other volunteers run high-quality and safe programmes that gives young people skills for life. 2 LT700001 (27 February 2024) |**Section B**|**Structure, governance and management (continued)**| |---|---| ||**Risk and Internal Control**
The Group Trustee Board 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 that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Group
would request the use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations such as the church, Village
Hall 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
Associations 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 Board could
raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the
group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or 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 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.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities
for all young people aged 6 to 14. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the group as 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.| 3 LT700001 (27 February 2024) |**Section C**|**Objectives and activities**| |---|---| |Summary of the objects of the charity set

Summary of the main activities in relation
to these objects|**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**
As Scouts we are guided by these values:
**Integrity -**We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy
and loyal.
**Respect -**We have self-respect and respect for others.
**Care -**We support others and take care of the world in which
we live.
**Belief -**We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.
**Co-operation -**We make a positive difference; we co-
operate with others and make friends.
**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 activities of the Group are:
- the provision of the Scouting programme for 6–14-year-old
members.
During the last year, Scouts, Cubs Scouts, and Beaver
Scouts have taken part in a variety of activities to reinforce
the Scout values. These include - learning to respect other
people’s beliefs by learning about other cultures, learning
how to take care of the local environment including nature by
| ||making bird feeders, as well as learning how to care for
others in an emergency situation by giving first aid and
learning about fire safety. Members also learned about
disabilities and personal safety. Activities require teamwork in
patrols and sixes with members working together in problem
solving situations. Activities have taken place indoors and
outdoors including challenging activities such as
orienteering, pioneering and hiking.| Additional details of the objectives and activities (optional information but encouraged as best practice) You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: • policy on grantmaking; • contribution made by volunteers; • policy on investments. 4 LT700001 (27 February 2024) |Public benefit statement|The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves|N/A
The Group held reserves of approximately £15,000 against
this at year end. This is above the level required for operating
expenses. However, this can be explained by fundraising
activity over the previous years and the need to fit out the new
HQ with new equipment in the next year.
**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
Trustee Board considers that the group should hold a sum
equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £7,000.| Further financial review details (optional information) 5 LT700001 (27 February 2024) You may choosè to indude addFlional information, where relevant, about . the ¢h8riVs principal sources of funds (indudlng any fvndraislng),.
