1ST SILVER END SCOUT GROUP

Scout Group providing scouting to girls & boys in Beaver /Cub /Scout sections with an affiliated Explorer Scout Unit
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
