1ST WARSASH SEA SCOUT GROUP 

The main activities of the Group are based on both the land and the sea. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts all take part in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Scouts spend the summer months afloat, sailing the Group's fleet of boats under the tuition of the Group's instructors. All sections also take part in District Scouting activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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

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
