HORSHAM DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

We are an organisation geared to helping children of all ethnic and cultral background in the way of supporting one another and living together -through camping, authorised activities and projects run by the Scout Organisation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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