## **2. Structure, Governance and Management**
The Group's governing documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association and the Scottish Variations from POR published by Scouts Scotland.
The Group is an Unincorporated Association established under its rules which are common to all Scouts.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The Group is managed by the Group Trustee Board, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout Group. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) as appropriate.
The Trustee Board consists of the Chair, Treasurer and 8 Trustees (including 2 Ex Officio Trustees) and meets every 3 months. Members of the Trustee Board complete Being a Scouts Trustee learning within the first 6 months of joining the Board.
This Group Trustee Board exists to make sure the charity is well-managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and the organisation's policies and rules. Their support helps other volunteers run high quality and safe programmes that gives young people skills for life.
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.
## **3. Objectives**
## **The Purpose of Scouting**
Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
## **The Values of Scouting**
As Scouts we are guided by these values:
**Integrity** - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal.
**Respect** - We have self-respect and respect for others.
**Care** - We support others and take care of the world in which we live.
**Belief** - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.
**Co-operation** - We make a positive difference; we co operate with others and make friends.
## **The Scout Method**
Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and:
- 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
- make and live by their Promise.
## **4. Trustees Review**
## **Supporting Positive Change Through Strong Governance**
This year’s report marks a significant period of transformation for our Scout Group, reflecting the wider changes taking place across Scouting. One of the most important developments has been the introduction of our Group Trustee Board, a dedicated team of volunteers who work together to ensure our Group is run safely, legally, and in line with our shared values.
The trustee board plays a vital role in making sure our charity is well managed. From assessing and reducing risks to maintaining buildings and equipment and ensuring we follow all legal requirements and the Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR), our Trustees help create a secure and supportive environment for young people to thrive. Introduced in the second half of the year following appointment of Trustees at the AGM last year, since then we have been focusing on key governance priorities. We’re incredibly grateful to all those who served on the Executive Committee, during the first half of the year, for their hard work and commitment, their efforts laid the foundation for a smooth transition to the new structure.
In March, I was honoured to take on the role of Chair. It’s a responsibility I couldn’t undertake without the support of all the trustees, and I’m deeply thankful for their dedication. I’d especially like to recognise the continuity provided by
who have kindly continued in their roles as Treasurer and Secretary.
## **Building Strong Foundations for the Future**
Since the formation of our Group Trustee Board, we’ve made steady progress on a number of key priorities — all aimed at strengthening our Scout Group and ensuring we’re well placed to support young people for years to come.
- We’ve reviewed and adopted the Scottish Variations of the Model Constitution from the Autumn 2024 edition of POR, giving us a clear and current framework that reflects how our Group operates today.
- Our OSCR registration has been updated to ensure it accurately represents our Group and the vibrant Scouting we deliver.
- We’ve formalised our long-standing relationship with the Lenzie Explorer Scout Unit through a Partnership Agreement. This not only meets governance requirements but also deepens our connection with the Explorer Unit, creating more opportunities for collaboration and continuity.
- Financial transparency has been a key focus. We’ve completed a full financial review, moved to digital banking for smoother processes and reporting, introduced a streamlined volunteer expenses system, and added SumUp terminals to reduce reliance on cash and cheques.
- We’ve identified and ringfenced a £20,000 reserve to cover annual running costs — a step that supports best practice and ensures we remain compliant with charity regulations.
- Our insurance cover for the building & contents, and minibus has been reviewed and transitioned to Unity Insurance Services, the Scouts’ own provider, to ensure we have the right protection at the best value.
- We commissioned a Fire Safety Report and allocated £1,000 to implement its recommendations, helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all.
- We’re thrilled to confirm £25,000 in funding for a kitchen refurbishment. A dedicated sub-committee has been formed to take this exciting improvement forward, enhancing the facilities we offer to our members and the wider community.
These steps reflect our commitment to good governance, safety, and sustainability — all underpinned by the values of Scouting. Furthermore, to support transparency and shared understanding, we’ve introduced a regular Trustees Update. This helps ensure our decisions and progress are clearly communicated to all volunteers, fostering a culture of openness, accountability, and teamwork. It’s one of the ways we’re working to keep everyone connected and confident in how our Scout Group is run.
## **Looking Ahead**
As we reflect on a year filled with progress and community spirit, we’re also excited about what lies ahead. The coming months bring fresh opportunities to strengthen our governance, support growth, and ensure our Scout Group continues to thrive.
- We’ll be establishing and maintaining a risk register, as outlined in POR, to help the Trustee Board identify and manage risks with confidence and care.
- A further review of our financial management is planned, including bank account selection to meet our operational needs and ensure protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. We’ll also be looking closely at Gift Aid to make sure we’re making the most of this valuable funding stream.
- We’ll be auditing the use of our minibus to better understand its role within the Group; considering costs, usage, and transport needs to inform future decisions.
- A full risk assessment of the hall will be undertaken, alongside the introduction of an annual review process to keep our facilities safe and welcoming.
- To support the upkeep of our hall, we’ll be introducing a dedicated maintenance lead. This will help ensure our excellent facility continues to serve the Group well, while easing the pressure on our busy Section Teams.
- We’ll be reviewing hall usage and letting arrangements to explore ways of increasing revenue, while staying aligned with good governance and the needs of our Group.
- Accessibility remains a key priority. We’ll be reviewing fees, activities, and event costs to ensure Scouting remains open and inclusive to all.
- Our Quartermaster and volunteer team will be compiling a full inventory of equipment, helping us ensure our insurance cover is accurate and comprehensive. Based on this review, we’ll be introducing a rolling programme of equipment maintenance and investment, making sure our resources are safe, up-to-date, and available to everyone.
- A new fundraising strategy will be developed in partnership with Section Team Leaders and Members, volunteers, parents, and most importantly our youth members. Their voices will help shape a plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of our whole Group.
- Finally, we’ll continue to focus on volunteer recruitment to strengthen our current sections and, where possible, expand; including exploring the exciting possibility of launching a Squirrel Section should we have enough volunteers.
Together, these plans reflect our commitment to building a Scout Group that’s wellmanaged, inclusive, and ready for the future.
As we look back on a busy and rewarding year, I want to extend my deepest thanks to every volunteer who gives their time, energy, and care to our Scout Group. Your dedication makes a real difference — creating a space where young people can grow, explore, and enjoy unforgettable experiences. Together, we’re building a Scout Group that welcomes everyone, celebrates kindness, and encourages resilience and fun at every turn.

## **5. Group Lead Volunteer Review**
## **Group Lead Volunteer’s Report**
It’s been another exhilarating year for 12th Glasgow (1st Lenzie) Scout Group, full of adventure, growth, and community spirit. As Group Lead Volunteer, I’m proud to reflect on the collective achievements of our young people and the dedicated volunteers who make it all possible.
## **A Year of Growth, Friendship and Adventure**
From weekly meetings to weekend camps, our young people have embraced every opportunity to learn new skills, make lasting friendships, and challenging themselves in safe and supportive environments. It’s inspiring to see their confidence grow and the enthusiasm shine through in everything they do.
## **Section Overview**
Across our sections, we’ve supported the development of:
- **Beavers** : 70 young people, discovering the joy of friendship and fun through their first steps in Scouting
- **Cubs** : 81 Cubs, growing in confidence and curiosity as they explore new
- challenges
- **Scouts** : 75 Scouts, embracing resilience and teamwork through adventurous activities
- **Adult Volunteers** : 46 volunteers, each bringing their own skills, passions and perspectives to enrich our programme and support our young people
We’re proud to celebrate the achievements of our young people, who between them have earned 1,700 badges and awards from April 2024 to March 2025, including over 40 Chief Scout’s Awards. Along with activity and staged badges, plus challenge awards, these milestones reflect the commitment, curiosity and growth of every member, with each badge earned telling a story of effort, learning and fun.
## **A Programme Full of Possibilities**
Through April 2024 to March 2025, our sections have delivered an incredible range of opportunities and activities that reflect the very best of Scouting. From outdoor adventures and creative challenges to community action and skill-building, our young people have been encouraged to step up, try new things, and have fun along the way. Every programme is developed to help our members gain skills for life — and thanks to the care and creativity of our volunteers, each session has been inclusive and packed with purpose.
## **Celebrating Our Volunteers**
Of course, delivery of a successful programme would not be possible without our incredible team of volunteers. Whether running activities, supporting events, or working behind the scenes, they help create a space where young people feel welcome, included, and empowered. Their dedication, creativity, and kindness make a real difference every day. They are not only facilitators — they are positive role models, showing our young people what it means to lead with empathy, integrity and fun.
We are lucky to have a wonderfully diverse volunteer team — from seasoned Scouting stalwarts to newer members stepping into roles for the first time. Together, they bring a breadth of experience that strengthens our Group and ensures we continue to offer safe, high-quality opportunities for young people to learn and grow.
That said, we recognise that sustaining and growing our volunteer base is essential. A key priority for the coming year is to increase the number of adults involved across the Group and in-line with the Scout Association’s approach, we’re committed to making volunteering flexible, inclusive and rewarding. It’s not about a small few doing it all — it’s about everyone contributing what they can, in ways that suit their skills and lifestyle. Whether it’s helping occasionally at a section meeting, supporting behind the scenes, or taking on a leadership role, every contribution matters.
## **Navigating Change Together**
The roll out of a new Membership System has also brought change this past year, as we adapted to the Scout Association’s transformation programme and a new way to manage adult member records. It hasn’t always been straightforward, but our team showed true Scouting spirit and navigated the challenges with flexibility and teamwork to keep moving forward — when the plan didn’t work, we changed the plan.
## **Looking Ahead**
As we reflect on the past year, we’re also looking forward to what’s coming next. With exciting plans for new adventures, community projects, and opportunities to grow, we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Together, we help young people step up, play their part, and gain skills for life. Together, we’ll continue to build a Scout Group that’s open to all and rooted in kindness, resilience, and fun.
We are proud to be a youth-led movement. Our young people shape our programme, challenge us to do better, and remind us why Scouting matters. To every Beaver, Cub, and Scout — thank you for being an inspiration. You are the heart of our Group, and we are better because of you.

## **6. Explorer Scouts Unit Review**
## **Explorer Scout Unit Review 2024–25**
This year has been a remarkable journey for our Explorer Scout Unit, which re-started in spring 2024 with a renewed sense of purpose, a growing membership, with a dynamic and enthusiastic new leadership team. From the outset, the focus has been on creating a welcoming, youth-led space where young people can thrive, challenge themselves, and contribute meaningfully to our wider Scouting community.
## **Growing Stronger Together**
The Unit has grown from 16 to 25 members over the year, with 20 attending regularly. Many new Explorers have come through our 12th Glasgow Scout Sections, alongside returning members and new faces joining Scouting for the first time.
## **Summer Adventures and DofE Success**
Summer 2024 was all about getting outdoors and embracing adventure. Four Explorers attended Blair Atholl, with two stepping up as Patrol Leaders, an inspiring example of youth leadership in action. The Duke of Edinburgh programme re-launched with energy and purpose, supported by a newly qualified hillwalking permit holder and DofE assessor / supervisor. Sixteen Explorers completed their Bronze expeditions, with four already achieving their full award and many others close to completion. Silver enrolment is underway for existing members and those joining the unit from scouts have enrolled in Bronze, with more sign-ups expected. A small group of our previous explorers (now Network) have also approached the group to ask for support with aspects of their Gold award.
## **Skills for Life**
The summer programme was packed with hands-on activities: from survival skills and pioneering to orienteering and cooking challenges, with a sprinkling of water activities at Pinkston. Explorers also enjoyed a trip to see Bear Grylls at the SECC, and took part in District events including Monopoly, Halloween Disco, and Sub-Zero ’25, where seventeen of our Explorers camped alongside peers from across the District.
## **Young Leaders Making a Difference**
Our Young Leaders have been outstanding. Seventeen Explorers are actively involved, supporting six of our eight sections with enthusiasm and care. Thirteen completed their module training at Lochgoilhead, and one has already earned their Young Leader Belt. Their impact extends beyond weekly meetings, supporting camps, off-site activities, and equipment preparation with dedication and pride.
## **Quartermaster & Hall Support**
Over 100 hours of volunteer time were given to maintaining and improving group equipment, with Explorers embracing a reduce, reuse, recycle ethos. They’ve also supported the redecoration of our Scout Hall’s new upstairs room, including work on a refreshed Unit logo.
## **Fundraising & Community Engagement**
Explorers led their first fundraising event, a Burns Night, with support from Section Leaders and a fantastic turnout. They also played a key role in the district’s “Life Behind the Lens” speaker event, helping with ticketing, technical support, and hospitality.
## **Programme Highlights**
The Explorer-led programme has grown in confidence and variety, with young people involved in planning, risk assessments, and delivery. Highlights include:
- Visit to Lomond Mountain Rescue and SARDA
- Guest presentations from a King’s Scout, Heli Medic, Military Medic, and Polar Explorer
- Lochgoilhead Adventure Camp (10 attendees)
- Bronze National Navigation Award Scheme (6 achievers)
- Over 80 badges awarded, with 13 Explorers close to their Platinum Chief Scout’s Award
- Four Explorer Belts awarded to leavers
## **Looking Ahead**
With five dedicated leaders now in place, including leads for DofE and Young Leaders, the Unit is well-positioned for continued success. Plans for 2025–26 include:
- Completion of our Partnership Agreement
- Group community project
- Continued DofE progression (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
- In house First Aid training
- Platinum and Diamond Chief Scout’s Awards
- AJ25 participation
- Fundraising events including a Book Sale, Coffee morning, Burns Supper/Ceilidh, and a public speaker event
- NNAS Assessor qualification for Unit Lead
With resilience, kindness, and curiosity at the heart of everything we do, our Explorers are not just growing as Scouts, they’re growing as confident, capable young people ready to shape the future.

## **7. Finance Review**
This section provides an analysis of our income and expenditure for the previous financial year and includes the details submitted to OSCR (charity regulator) plus some additional information.
## **Executive Summary**
The account analysis restructuring from last year has been continued and extended. The OSCR charity reporting structure is not suitable for financial analysis or group finance management.
The main data sources are bank accounts, Go Cardless data and expense information. Bank accounts have now been made digital so no longer need manual entry. Expense process has been improved recently with more high-value expenses able to be paid directly and more quickly instead of funded and reclaimed by section leaders.
Last year’s £3k deficit has switched to a surplus of £15k, however, some of this is due to transaction timing and other factors explained in the report detail but overall, we have an improvement in the financial position which allows us to maintain subscriptions for 2025-2026 at the same level.
|**OSCR Income**|**2024-2025**||**Last Year**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Receipts from charitable activities|**£ 69,414**|**76 %**|**£ 43,726**|
|Income from investments other than land and buildings|**£ 3,049**|**3 %**|**£ 2,745**|
|Rents from land and buildings|**£ 18,539**|**20 %**|**£ 19,996**|
||**£ 91,002**|||
|**OSCR Payments**|**2024-2025**||**Last Year**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Costs for charitable activities|**£ 71,354**||**£ 66,596**|
|Governance Costs|**£ 200**||**£ 710**|
|Purchases of fixed assets|**£ 3,203**|**4 %**|
**£ 2,997**|
||**£ 74,757**|||
## **Key Observations:**
- Changes to use digital banking were put in place from late January 2025.
- Legacy issues are not fully resolved due to delays in providing bank access to the Treasurer.
- Large variances in income and expenditure are heavily affected by:
- Previous subscription changes weighting 2024-2025 vs previous year
- Auchengillan Jamboree (AJ) which is not annual. ~ £12k impact
- Improved member numbers due to rebuilding Monday sections and Explorers
- Major savings made in energy costs and insurances costs.
- 2024-2025 has a legacy delay due to cheque handling at the start of the financial year.
Income
The group has 3 main sources of income= Subscription Fees. Hall Hire and HMRC Gift
Aid.
A large proportion of the transactions considered by OSCR as income are simply offset
against costs for events such as camps. so they should not be considered as true income
to fund the group.
Note that there is no Gift Aid income in the current year.
Just under half of the subscription income is paid back out to Scout HQ as membership
fees.

Subscriptions
The membership subscription remains our key source of income and has improved.
The 2023 change to monthly payments which had a delayed start pushed 115 of the
2023 payments into the following year so 2023-2024 is a bit low and 2024-2025 is a
bit high so will drop back next year to somewhere in between. Note that subscription
rates were not increased for 2024-2025.

The subscription income is generally in line with the size of the sections.
The increase of £12,700 is about £5,700 too high due to legacy subscription timing but the remaining £7,000 increase is due to improved numbers within all group sections and particularly in the re-build of the Monday Beaver and Cub sections and the Explorer unit.
## **Hall Hire**
There is some reduction in external hire due to Sunday church group users leaving in late 2023.

Notes
**Badge** costs down to a “normal” level due to no jubilee, coronation and jamboree badges. **Minibus Costs** were similar to the previous year but higher road tax offset by a 20% reduction to insurance costs by changing to the Scout insurance provider.
**General Expenses** increased due to the investment in Young Leader training plus initial costs for First Aid training requirements now extended as mandatory to all volunteers.
**Finance Charges** are the Go Cardless and related OSM transaction fees which average about 3.2% of the value. These increased due to many more transactions (more subscription transactions and hundreds of transactions for split AJ payments).
**Utility Costs** are reduced overall despite electricity increase of £800. The gas bill is down by over £2000 due to the new boiler and improved heating controls.
**Insurance Costs** for the building were reduced by 65% by changing to the Scout insurer.
**Facility Maintenance** costs were up due to various remedial and improvement works including external wall repair and replacing old boilers, which has largely already paid for itself. **Governance Costs** were significantly reduced by preparing our own accounts.
## **Reserves Policy**
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 Trustee Board considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £20,000.
