25TH STRETFORD (FIRSWOOD) SCOUT GROUP 

Each week, we give young people in Firswood the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future: skills like teamwork, leadership, resilience and empathy. We believe in preparing young people with skills for life, encouraging our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:
