Treasurers Report April 1st 2024 to March 31st 2025
Financially this has been another strong year for the Scout Group, maintaining a
healthy bank balance whilst keeping subscription fees constant in a bid to keep costs
down for families.
Income
Income for the year was consistent with previous at £17.7K. Gift aid receipts remained
strong (£2.9K). There remains a healthy member roll so this level of income should be
sustainable.
Our main course of funding continues to be the subscription fees which we have held
at the same for the level 12 monlh period, these allow us to continue functioning as a
Group even if all other sources of income cease. The last increase of subs levels was
in January 2020.
This subscription fee pays for capitstion fees, electricity, weekly activities, hall
insurance and maintenance.
The group now receives bank interest on surplus funds at a rate of £70 per month.
We must be very mindful of the current financial climate and we need to take every
opportunity to support all of our members in paying for subs, camps, unifonns and
events.
Expenditure
Electricity costs have moved onto a new fixed tariff and were slightly lower year on
year.
Camp costs were higher over the year mainly due to Fordell Firs costs which are
reflected in the income level.
There was limited big ticket expenditure for the year, venue maintenance down by £1 K
Overall Position
Cash funds at year end was up by £4K year on year - funds stand at a healthy
£24,140.88. We must maintain a minimum contingency fund of £2,500 as governed
by OSCR so we are well in line.
Accounts are now fully automated and held within OSM - this makes the accounting
role much more professional, transparent and for audit purposes much simpler.
Projects
No significant capital expenditure is planned for the upcoming financial year.
Group camp will be part funded by group funds which will cost in the region of £1,000.
kindly audited the accounts for us this year on a voluntary basis which
is much appreciated.
