BIGGLESWADE DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

The development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential through a structured programme, in accordance with the Scout Associations policy organisation and rules.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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