EASTBOURNE DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

The charity is part of the national and international scouting association operating in Eastbourne, East Sussex. The charity supports members of all ages by offering scouting activities. Membership is made up of children and young adults of scouting age within the area, plus ex-scouts who wish to still be involved with the movement.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
