BURTON-ON-TRENT AND DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

Burton Upon Trent Scout Council oversees and manages scouting activity in East Staffordshire, providing life and adventure training for young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
