2ND SOUTH PETHERTON SCOUT GROUP

TO ENCOURAGE AND PREPARE CHILDREN BETWEEN 6 AND 18 YEARS TO TAKE A FULL AND ACTIVE ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world. Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society and the community. We hold term time weekly evening meetings to develop life-skills, build personal confidence, engage in teamwork activities, learn about the environment and community as well as taking part in community activities ie village litter picking, tree planting. Other opportunities, some of which are also offered during the school holidays, include outdoor events, for example woodland camps, canoe evenings, climbing, caving etc.
