44TH CROYDON AIR SCOUT GROUP 

We are part of the Scout Association and we are one of 42 scouting groups in the Croydon District. We are the only Air Scout Group in the Croydon District. We provide scouting activities to young people from the age of 6 - 15 both indoors and outdoors. We take the children away on trips and camps and the older children enjoy flying activities. We have children in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
