1ST SHEFFORD SCOUT GROUP

Shefford Scouts is part of the UK Scout Association. We currently run Beavers, Cubs, Scout and Explorer sections.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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 recently but spending has been maintained

Established: 47 years
