THE LEVELS SCOUT GROUP

We run Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts within Scout Association principles. We provide constructive, safe, fun, adventurous recreational activities. We focus on developing young people, teaching them skills that are applicable throughout their lives by encouraging an exploration and appreciation of the outdoors, interaction and healthy activity, community involvement and service.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
