GROUP CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD This past year has been another busy and positive one for 2nd Fife. Across every age group, we've welcomed new volunteers into the team and continued to support our young people as they move through the sections, taking on fresh challenges and enjoying new adventures along the way. We've also made further progress with improvements at both our headquarters and Nineacres, investments that continue to support the group now and into the future. has now completed his first full year as our Lead Volunteer, and he's done a fantastic job building on the strong foundations left by It's been great to see the group continue to thrive under his leadership. calm and considered approach, paired with his long-standing involvement in the group, has helped maintain continuity while also bringing new energy and direction. Each section has had an exciting and active year, and it's been particularly encouraging to see how well the 2^° Fife group numbers hold up, particularly when you consider all the other activities and options that are open to young people. Squirrels is a brilliant introduction to Scouting, giving our youngest members the chance to learn and have fun in a welcoming and structured environment. As they move up through Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, the experiences become more ambitious, from teamwork and creativity to community projects, overnight camps, expeditions and leadership opportunities. The section reports are full of great examples of the variety and imagination that goes into our programmes. Crucially, our young people are at the centre of it all. They help shape the activities through regular input and feedback, ensuring the programme reflects what they want to learn and explore. It's something that makes Scouting special, providing structure and safety while giving young people the space to grow in confidence, take ownership, and have their voices heard. A heartfelt thank you must go to all our section leaders, assistant leaders, young volunteers and parent helpers who make this possible. Their dedication behind the scenes, week after week, ensures that our activities are not only fun but also meaningful, safe and engaging. I know I say it every year - and I make no apology for saying it again - but we are incredibly lucky to have such a committed team of volunteers. The group simply couldn't function without them. That said, there's always room for more people to get involved. Whether you can offer regular help or occasional support, it really does make a difference. If you're interested, please speak to one of the leaders, we'd love to have you on board. Finally, thank you to everyone who's played a part in another brilliant year at 2nd Fife, young people, leaders, supporters and families alike. Your energy, commitment and positivity help create a fantastic environment for young people to grow, learn and enjoy themselves. Here's to another successful year ahead! Group Chairman 4
GROUP LEAD VOLUNTEER REPORT
As we finish the 2024-25 financial year the Group is in good health. The total number of youngsters involved in their Scouting journey is 124 spread across Squirrel, Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer sections. Whilst this is a reduction of 8 from last year, we have a significant waiting list and numbers will build again in the near future.
These sections are supported by a total of 21 uniformed leaders who provide a safe, exciting and enjoyable programme for the young people. These leaders give freely their experience and dedication and without them Scouting wouldn’t exist.
As well as the section leadership teams, we are supported by a dedicated Trustee Board of 12 who oversee the governance of the Group ensuring that financial and operational procedures are maintained in accordance with both Scouting and regulatory requirements.
This year we have also established a 19 strong Nineacres Service Team, with support from the parents and friends of the Group which will ensure that the campsite continues to thrive as it becomes busier with visiting groups. continues to provide superb oversight of the campsite, taking bookings and ensuring that the site is ready each weekend for our visitors. The Group are hugely indebted to this group of volunteers who ensure that all our young people enjoy their scouting experience.
During the year all sections held the usual weekly programme as well as visits and camps. In July all Sections were involved in the Group Summer Camp at Nineacres. A great week included hiking, canoeing, and a visit to Dundee Water Park.
The Cubs attended the Howling camp at Fordell Firs – a nationally organised event as well as the Parent and Child camp, an eagerly anticipated event each year!
Other section activities over and above the usual camping at Nineacres included farm visit; trampoline park; cycle rides; climbing; museum visits; indoor bowling; teddy bears picnic and fishing. The Explorer section continue to focus on delivering the opportunity to gain Duke of Edinburgh awards.
Plans are well underway for next summer’s Kandersteg 2025 International trip and there have been various fundraising events this year to support this event.
The group invested in a new minibus in the year, replacing the life expired one, and we are seeing an increase in the bookings for this which help cover the running costs. The headquarters building is used by each of the sections during the evenings but we are always looking to hire to groups during the day and at weekends. During the year handed over the role of Hall Booking Administrator to – thanks to both for their time and energy.
Echoing Frasers comments in his contribution, we are always looking for additional support. If you are interested in volunteering in any aspect please let us know. It doesn’t need to be a weekly commitment, whatever time you can give would be welcome.

TREASURER’S NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
These notes are included to add some context to the accounts detail for 2024-25 by way of summarising some of the key items from group income and expenditure in the year.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM INCOME & EXPENDITURE 2024-25
Programme Activities - at £14,623 for the year, the ongoing delivery of wide-ranging programme activities, leader training and award of badges and uniform across all sections continues to be a core area of expenditure for the group. This includes regular weekly section meetings as well as multiple trips, camps and additional activities for all sections.
New Group Minibus - The group has invested in a new minibus during the year, purchased for £17,994 with cost offset somewhat through sale of the old minibus which was nearing end of life and becoming expensive to maintain. The new bus is a significant investment for the group but essential to ensuring safe travel for group members and is also leading to increased hire income for the group.
Nineacres Memorial Campsite - the campsite continues to be a fantastic asset for the group with £16,734 in receipts during the year 2024-25. That said, the current year has seen £17,514 in expenditure relating to the campsite, this encompassing ordinary running costs as well as several streams of necessary works and investment in the site including; refurbishment of the toilet block; works to repair the site access track; tree surgeon works following storm damage and the purchase of a new 20ft shipping container for storage purposes.
General running costs for the group - these are detailed in full in the main accounts, but notable items included in day to day running of the group for the year are -
£11,536 for hall maintenance, cleaning, rent and utilities.
£6,088 for group subscription to Scottish Scout HQ, East Scotland Region and Dunfermline District (paid from the £13,405 total membership subscriptions to 2nd Fife in 2024/25).
£5,367 in general minibus running costs.
RECEIPTS & PAYMENTS
Total Income for 2024-25 was £91,885. Although income has increased versus the previous year (£80,119), this is mainly due to the collection of trip income payments and fundraising associated with the planned Scouts & Explorers trip to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland during July 2025.
Total payments for 2024-25 were £95,605. This is a significant rise in annual expenditure versus the previous year at £63,398 mainly due to investment expenditure relating to group assets as aforementioned.
6
FUND BALANCE AT YEAR END 2024-25
As at 31/03/2025 the group holds a total fund balance of £120,384 having recorded a net deficit of -£3,719 during the 2024-25 financial year. This net deficit relates to investment expenditure relating to group assets as aforementioned.
Unrestricted Funds operated by the group generally service the day to day running costs as well as any other planned or unplanned costs incurred. The Unrestricted Fund balance has reduced to £10,688 at year end, with the change versus last year mainly accounted for through the noted investment expenditure relating to group assets during the year.
The £50,000 in group savings set aside and allocated to the development of a new scout hall has generated £1,814 in interest during the year. This now £51,814 has been invested for another year under the Designated Building Fund.
The Designated Nineacres Fund has remained relatively stable versus last year with £22,632 held at year end 2024-25, with income during the last year used to undertake the development and maintenance works at Nineacres as outlined. This fund also helps support ordinary running costs for the group over and above the unrestricted fund balance.
The Restricted Fund balance has grown throughout the year to £34,730 with this fund holding all monies relating to international trip funds.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of 2[nd] Fife (Dunfermline) Scout Group
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 10 to 15.
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) (d) of the 2006 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
-
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 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
