2ND PENRITH SCOUT GROUP (TL/2348) 

The 2nd Penrith Scout Group provides a broad range of indoor and outdoor activities for young people - both boys and girls, aged 6 to 8 (Beavers), aged 8 to 10.5 (Cubs) and 10.5 to 14 (Scouts). The different groups meet on weekday evenings at a dedicated scout hut building in the middle of the small town of Penrith, Cumbria.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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