**TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025. This report is prepared in accordance with the Constitution of the charity and the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice – ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ and complies with applicable law. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

## Constitution 

The Scout Association was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1912. Its powers include the appointment of local bodies for the management of its affairs in any particular part of the United Kingdom; under these powers, its affairs in Dundee are delegated to Dundee District Scout Council, with a Trustee Board for the management of its business. The charity operates under the standard Constitution effective from 08 September 2024. Trustees at the date of this report and throughout the year can be found on page 2 of this report. 

## Appointment of Trustees 

Membership of the Trustee Board is: - 

- By virtue of other office/appointment held 

- By election of the membership of the District Scout Council 

- By nomination by the District Commissioner, and 

- By co-option by existing Trustees 

## Trustee Induction and Training 

In accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association, the acceptance of any appointment, including that of Trustee, carries with it an obligation to undertake training appropriate to that appointment. This training, which comprises both compulsory and optional elements, is made available locally. 

## Organisation 

The charity is administered under the supervision of Trustees who meet every two months. Day to day administration is carried out by the Trustee Board. 

## Risk Management 

Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to its operations, finances and reputation. Trustees do not believe that there are any major financial risks to which the charity is exposed.  Insurable risks are appropriately covered. 

## Key Management Personnel 

Trustees consider the Trustee Board to be the key management personnel of the charity, in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis.  All Trustees give their time freely, and no Trustee remuneration or expenses were paid in the year.

## Objectives 

The purpose of Scouting is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting (Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief, Cooperation), 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; and make and live by their promise. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Trustees have established a reserves policy to ensure the financial stability of the District and to enable it to continue to meet its charitable objectives in the event of unforeseen circumstances. At 31 March 2025, the charity held: 

- Restricted Funds: £30,951 (2024: £30,288), which are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors. These funds cannot be used for general purposes. 

- Unrestricted Funds: £543,701 (2024: £564,277), comprising: 

   - Designated Funds of £536,220 (2024: £557,796), set aside by the Trustees for specific projects and commitments, principally relating to property, equipment, and future development. 

   - General Reserve Fund of £7,481 (2024: £6,481), which represents the free reserves available for the general purposes of the charity. 

The Trustees have considered the appropriate level of free reserves (being unrestricted funds not designated for particular purposes) required to provide financial resilience. Taking into account the level of ongoing commitments, property maintenance, and the nature of the charity’s income streams, the Trustees consider that a minimum reserve equivalent to three months of operating expenditure (approximately £11,000) is appropriate. 

At the year end, the charity’s free reserves stood at £7,481, which is below the target range. The Trustees are aware of this position and will continue to review income generation, cost control, and fundraising to ensure reserves are maintained at a prudent level in the future. 

## Financial Review 

The results for the year ended 31 March 2025 are given in the statement of Financial Activities.  The assets and liabilities are detailed in the Balance Sheet. 

The charity’s income for the year was £91,107 (2024 - £91,429) and expenditure was £111,521 (2024.£96,252) giving a net outflow of funds of £20,414 (2024 £4,823. Full details of income and expenditure are set out in the notes to the accounts. 

The charity ended the year with net assets of £574,652 (2024 - £595,066) 

The trustees consider the financial position to be satisfactory and continue to monitor income and expenditure closely.

## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES** 

The 2025 census taken in January showed a slight decrease in youth membership across the District, however this was due to a sharp drop in the Explorer (14–18-year old) section; the Squirrel, Beaver, Cub and Scout numbers all grew which will support future growth in the older section as youth members move on across the sections.  Network membership (18–25-year-old) also saw a significant increase.  Adult membership numbers also dropped back slightly, however several volunteering events across the city will hopefully bring in new Leaders, Managers and Governance members. 

Scouting also restructured the adult membership format, which saw some roles removed, and other roles reallocated into new teams which may also account for the slight decrease in numbers.  The uniformed membership is now led by a District Lead Volunteer, who manages adults through Group Lead Volunteers across the 8 Dundee Scout Groups.  Also in place at District level are a Programme Team, Volunteering Development Team and a Support Team; these are also headed up by team leads responsible for delivery of activities, training and support across the District.  Sectional leaders still run the week-to-week programme for our youth membership, so this has largely remained unchanged. 

A new membership site was rolled out by UK Scouting, which, while still very much a work in progress, will help support the restructure of adult membership. 

In terms of expansion, there are plans to introduce additional Squirrel sections in Stobswell, as well as Menzieshill once suitable adult provision and funding has been agreed.  The District are also looking into opening a new group in the Linlathen area of the city, however this will require significantly more planning and resources, as well as finding a suitable, affordable location. 

Gang Show 2025 took to the stage during the last week in March and was once again a huge success.  The cast size increased year on year, giving even more young people the opportunity to perform to a large audience, building on their confidence and teamwork skills.  Plans are also already underway for the 60[th] anniversary of Gang Show in Dundee in 2026 with events for both youth and adult members from across the decades in the pipeline.  During Gang Show week, was presented with not only his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, but also the Kings Scout Award which is the highest youth award in UK Scouting and is one of the most respected achievements in Scouting worldwide. 

Douglaswood Scout Centre, which is owned and operated by Dundee District Scouts continues to attract Scout Groups from across Dundee, Scotland and further afield.  The campsite also draws other youth groups and external users each year with any profit reinvested to improve facilities across the campsite, as well as at District facilities in both Broughty Ferry and Stobswell.  The property team, consisting entirely of volunteers, give countless hours to maintain and improve District facilities. 

District wide events which took place included a fun day for the Beaver section, held at Douglaswood which was the first District wide Beaver event in a number of years, the JV Muir and Cub Flag competitions were also held for the 8-10-year-old section.  For the older sections, an expedition challenge and Scout Flag competition was also held.

## **Risk Management** 

It is recognised that the nature of our work requires active acceptance and management of some risks in undertaking activities in order to achieve our charitable aims and objectives, the Trustees are working towards enhancing systems which are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks, which include: 

- Insufficient numbers of adult volunteers 

- A decline in youth membership 

- The safety and safeguarding of young people involved in Scouting 

- Ongoing property maintenance 

- Loss of rental properties for Groups to operate from 

## Future 

The District Trustee Board and District Team has changed slightly due to the Scouting restructure however all members are working hard to provide a solid foundation for Scouting in Dundee, structurally, financially and in terms of programme delivery. 

This will include: 

- More District wide events for young people 

- More interaction and networking for adults across the District 

- A renewed training programme, being rolled our throughout Scouting in the UK 

- Plans to introduce further Squirrel provision 

- Plans to open a new Scout Group 

- Revised Hall Hire rates 

The District Trustee Board will continue to offer support to Group Trustee Boards and actively encourage them to become a registered charity if they haven’t yet done so.  Our major focus will be to support the drive of membership growth and encouraging networking across the District.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report** 

I report on the accounts of Dundee District Scout Council for the year ended 31 March 2025 as set out on pages 10 to 20. 

Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

## Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## Independent Examiner’s Statement 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

have not been met, or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Accounting Policies 

## Basis of Accounting 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2015 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland Regulations 2006 (as amended)). The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## Going Concern 

Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## Income 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably. 

## Interest Receivable 

Interest is included when receivable by the charity and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. 

## Donations 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either the conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## Grants 

Government and other grants towards revenue expenditure are credited to revenue in the year to which they relate.  Grants received in respect of capital expenditure are credited to the income and expenditure account over the expected useful lives of the fixed assets to which they relate. 

The balance of such grants is included in restricted funds.  All other income has been recognised on the basis of entitlement, probability and measurement. 

## Expenditure 

All expenditure is included in the financial statements on an accrual’s basis.  Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably: - 

Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of the Charitable purpose and includes support and governance costs. 

Support and governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across cost categories on an appropriate basis. 

13 



## Irrecoverable VAT 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

## Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of assets over their useful life as follows: - Heritable Property 2% straight line Equipment 10% - 50% straight line Website 4 years’ straight line 

## Investments 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. 

## Realised gains and losses 

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.  Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening value, or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year.  Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.  Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from a date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of trade discounts due. 

## Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where a charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount. 

## Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

14 



## Fund accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for the use at the discretion of Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by Trustees for particular purposes.  The aim and use for each designated fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.  The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.  The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## Nature and purpose of funds 

- International fund - to provide support for individuals and groups of individuals representing Dundee District at international Scouting events. 

- Training funds - to support adult training within Dundee District. 

- Beaver Scout fund – to support the provision of a full programme for members of this Section. 

- Reserve fund - to meet the day by day operating expenses of Dundee District Scout Council and to provide support for the work of The Scout Association in Dundee District. 

- Buildings and equipment fund - funds invested in buildings to provide accommodation for Scouting activities and in equipment to support those activities. 

- Gang Show fund - to support the production of the Dundee Scout Gang Show. 

- Property reserve fund - to fund substantial repair work to the District’s various properties 

- Property development fund - to fund the development of the District’s various properties 

## Taxation 

Dundee District Scout Council is recognised as a charity for the purposes of applicable taxation legislation and is not, therefore, subject to taxation on its charitable activities.  The charity is not registered for VAT.
