BLENHEIM SCOUT GROUP
TRUSTEES' REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year
ended 31 March 2025.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial
statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January
2019).
Structure, Governance and Management
Organisation
The Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at AGM normally held in September.
Objectives and activities
Objects of the Charity
The objects of the group shall be 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 the local, national and international communities.
Public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity
commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity
(PB2)'.
Review of activities & summary of main objectives
The Scout Association has recently completed the structure and roles within the association. This has
been implanted nationally. The only changed for us at Blenheim has been the title changes of our
leaders. They have been replaced with Team Member, Team Leader or Lead Volunteer. An example
being Group Scout Leader is now Lead Volunteer. There have been no other changes that has had any
effect on us.
The three sections Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have seen an increase in members as the groups starts to
regrow.
All three sections as above have been taking part in a variety of activities from crafts, cooking and
varied sporting activities both on site and off site. Having the minibuses is a great advantage as we can
take our members to experience different activities. This has been to Bristol Docks and Woodhouse
Park a scout national site in North Bristol.
The three sections do make great use of the green space at our HQ where we do have backwoods
cooking and skills which all sections enjoy taking part.

BLENHEIM SCOUT GROUP
TRUSTEES' REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Beaver and Cubs section had a joint weekend away in North Bristol where they took part in many
on site activities like archery and team skills. They all enjoyed this being together and making new
friends.
We have a great team of parents on hand to always help with any section that may need it.
The group will continue to thrive as we have an amazing, dedicated leadership team giving their time
to develop our young people's lives and opportunity.
Blenheim Scout Group continues to go from strength to strength and we look forward to a positive
future.
Reserves policy and risk management
Although at present the trustees have no formal policy, they intended to maintain and build on our
unrestricted reserves to cover expenditure of between 3-6 months. Based on current year
expenditure, the trustees estimate this to be in the region of £8,000 - £15,000. At present Blenheim
Scouts have £96,365 unrestricted reserves less £52,757 held as tangible assets and therefore £43,608
available as 'free reserves' (2024: 39,834).
The trustees have examined the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been
established to mitigate those risks. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they
still meet the needs of the charity.
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial
statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In
preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the charity will continue in business.
•I state whetherapplicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have
been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements;
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the
financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the governing document. They are also responsible for
safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of
fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the statutory
responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining
