Activitios & Achiovements
During the year the Group has continued lo delNer the Scout Programme for the benefit of the young
people in Newhaven. Membership across the seth.ons saw a small decrease on the previous year.
Recruitment of addib.onal volunteers to support our young people is continuing. We conbnue to meet in
Newhaven Church Hall and, as reported last year, continue lo monitor the ongoing discussions within the
Chltrch of Scoland regarding their policy of church mergers and closures. A number of the A¢tivrties on
offer this past year afe listed in Note 6. We will continue to offer a wide range of activities. Our trip to
Tuscany in July'25 was a big 5UCGess and a presentatson to District will rerort further on this.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees believe that around three months of annual expenditure is an appropriat8 level of reserves in
order to cover the timing differen¢es between receipts & payments and to allow for any unexpected rtems
of expend51ure. The Group is not responsible for propety but has some assets lequipmentl. ReseNes
are in line with expeclats.ons at this time of year.
