|||||||The Group's<br>policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources|
|||||||to continue<br>the<br>charitable<br>activities<br>of the<br>group<br>should|
|||||||income<br>and<br>fundraising<br>activities<br>fall<br>short.<br>The<br>Group|
|||||||Executive Committee<br>considers that the group should<br>hold a|
|||||||sum<br>equivalent<br>to 3 months<br>running<br>costs, circa f10,000.|
|||||||During<br>this year, the group continued<br>to use these funds to|
|||||||pay all the commitments<br>due and by following<br>the Rules and|
|||||||regulations<br>of the Scout Association.<br>During<br>this time of|
|||||||high<br>inflation<br>and<br>energy<br>costs, the executive<br>committee|
|||||||have<br>actively<br>minimised<br>the<br>outgoings<br>of the<br>group<br>by|
|||||||negotiating<br>electricity<br>and gas prices<br>with<br>new<br>long<br>term|
|||||||contracts.|
|||||||The committee<br>are confident<br>that they have acted<br>fittingly|
|||||||and appropiately<br>to promote<br>the continuation<br>of the weekly|
|||||||meetings<br>and enable the group to expand<br>whilst<br>continuing|
|||||||to stay within the agreed budget.|
|||||||The Group<br>held reserves<br>of approximately<br>f19,000 against|
|||||||this<br>at year<br>end.<br>This<br>is above<br>the<br>level<br>required<br>for|
|||||||operating<br>expenses<br>as it contained<br>money<br>raised<br>through|
|||||||grants for the purchase<br>of a new equipment<br>to maintain<br>the|
|||||||safety<br>and<br>enjoyment<br>of all<br>participants<br>within<br>the group.|
