The Group's Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) 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 the Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:- - which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements - (1) - (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, and - (b) to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply with the 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. **Name** **Year ended 31st August 2025** Page 3 of 7 ## **138th Glasgow Scout Group Receipts and Payments account for year ended 31st August 2025** ||**2024/2025**|**2024/2025**|2023/2024|| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**£**|**£**|£|£| |**RECEIPTS**||||| |**Membership Subscriptions**||||| |Group|8,416.00||7630|| |Rebate|45.00|||| |**Programme Activities, Events and Courses**||8,461.00||7,630.00| |Group Panto|1,352.00||1019.45|| |Summer Camp|4,906.58||4838.85|| |District Scout Camp|||106.55|| |Winter Weekend|4,664.72||4978.88|| |Kip on the Ship|-||20|| |Family Camp|492.65||2310|| |Explorers Activities|114.24||162.72|| |Sub Zero Camp|1,021.10|||| |Zodiac Camps|876.84||1781.44|| |DofE|289.83||409.68|| |Beaver-Cub Camp|1,091.61|||| |Beaver-Cub Camp Innoflate|1,248.00|||| |Scuba Taster|||619.84|| |**Fundraising Activities and Events**||16,057.57||16,247.41| |Fun Run|943.00|||| |Bag Packing|256.76|||| |**Donations**||1,199.76||-| |Donations|100.00||1120|| |Scout Association COVID grant||||| |**Legacies**||100.00||1,120.00| |**Investments and Bank Deposits**||||| |Dividends & Interest||||| |Tax Recovered||||| |**Miscellaneous**||||| |International Camp Savings||||| |Tuckshop||||| |OSM Expense Card Refund|-||12.86|| |Paypal|-||5.9|| |Uniform||||| |||-||18.76| |**TOTAL RECEIPTS**||25818.33||25016.17| Page 4 of 7 ## **138th Glasgow Scout Group Receipts and Payments account for year ended 31st August 2025** |||**2024/2025**|**2024/2025**|**2023/2024**|**2023/2024**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |**PAYMENTS**|||||| |**UK/SHQ Membership Subscriptions**|||||| |Remitted to District Scout Council|-|4,410.00
