Summary ofthe main achievements
of		 The group
is now going
from strength
to strength
with the
the charity during the year opening of additional
Beaver and Scout sections.
The group
have actively
managed
to get all sections on the water
in a
variety of craft.
The group have successfully
fundraised
for
several
local charities
through
both Summer
and Christmas
Fayres.

to provide scouting
skills to all the boys

able
to hold a Group
Scout Camp
in September,
which
contained
numerous
activities
for all sections
as well as
providing
teamwork
between
sections.
Boating,
sailing
and
kayacking
activities were also enabled weather
permitting.
The Group
maintained
the scheduled
boat
maintenance
over the winter
months
which
has included
the updating
of
some of our equipment
and boats.
The group
is actively
putting
into practice the Aims of the
Scout Association.
Brief statement Brief statement ofthe charity's
policy on		 ofthe charity's
policy on		 ofthe charity's
policy on		 R@gg~gg pol;cy
reserves
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
Executive Committee
considers that the group should
hold a
sum
equivalent
to 3 months
running
costs, circa f10,000.
During
this year, the group continued
to use these funds to
pay all the commitments
due and by following
the Rules and
regulations
of the Scout Association.
During
this time of
high
inflation
and
energy
costs, the executive
committee
have
actively
minimised
the
outgoings
of the
group
by
negotiating
electricity
and gas prices
with
new
long
term
contracts.
The committee
are confident
that they have acted
fittingly
and appropiately
to promote
the continuation
of the weekly
meetings
and enable the group to expand
whilst
continuing
to stay within the agreed budget.
The Group
held reserves
of approximately
f19,000 against
this
at year
end.
This
is above
the
level
required
for
operating
expenses
as it contained
money
raised
through
grants for the purchase
of a new equipment
to maintain
the
safety
and
enjoyment
of all
participants
within
the group.
Quantify and explain any designations The
Group
has
successfully
been
recognised
as
RYA
accredited
and as such are actively
promoting
all realms of
boating
accreditations
for both members
and non-members
of 3rd Poole Sea Scouts.
All money
received as grants
are given
on the understanding
that
it
cannot to be used to pay any liabilities
that arise in running
the group.
Details of any funds materially
in		 deficit None
