23RD CAMBERWELL (ST GILES) SCOUTS GROUP 

As scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week the 23rd Camberwell (St Giles) Scout Group gives young people of Camberwell the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
