1ST WHITWELL (OPEN) SCOUT AND GUIDE GROUP 

Joint Scout and Guide Group consisting of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts (Scouts) and Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers (Guides). There is currently no Explorer Scout group, but the Scout District has an Explorer Scout group for boys and girls aged 15+
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
