1ST BEDFORDSHIRE (THE ONESTERS) SCOUT GROUP

Training of young people in practical skills and social responsibility under the auspices of The Scout Association
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

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
