1ST GORING HEATH SCOUT GROUP 

The Scout Group provides volunteers (both adults and young leaders) and facilities for local young people to enjoy the education, experiences and adventures of Scouting and Guiding both indoors and on the grounds around the Group Headquarters. Visiting Scout Groups, Guide Groups, Schools, Youth Groups and local families can book and use the facilities during the year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 61 years
