| Recipient Org: Description | 9th Dunipace Scout Group is a locally based subsidiary of the UK wide National Scouting Association and a registered charity established 44 years ago with the aim of actively supporting and engaging young people to make a positive contribution to society. OSCR records indicate the organisation is well managed with accounts historically being submitted on time. The Group Scout Leader, treasurer, Beaver and Cub leaders constitute the current management committee of 4, supported by 20 volunteer leaders and helpers but a copy of the Group?s constitution has not been provided and should be requested should an award be granted. All staff members and volunteers have completed or are completing relevant Scout Association training modules and the Group have adopted the Scout Association safe guarding policies. As one of the largest Scout Groups in the Falkirk area the organisation provides activities for children and young people ranging in age from 5 to 18 years. The Scout Hall is wholly owned by 9th Dunipace Scout Group and is located at Laurel Court, Dunipace, Denny. Currently the group has a Beaver Colony, Cub Pack and Scout Troop with a total of 90 children, it also provides a meeting place for Carronvalley Explorer troop of 15 and a growing Young Leader group currently numbering 17. In addition the Group runs a Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme which is open and attended by scouts from the surrounding Falkirk area. The association aims to provide fun, adventure and skills for life and give young people the opportunity to enjoy new adventures, experience outdoors and take part in a range of creative, community and international activities, interact with others, make new friends, gain confidence and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Unaudited financial accounts submitted for the year ended 31st March 2019 show an income of £17,744.07, £10,399 of which is from membership subscriptions, £4,647.57 from fundraising and £1,932 from an HMRC rebate. Expenditure was £13,073.76, £4,200 of which related to HQ fees and expenses. This resulted in a profit of £4,670.31 added to a balance brought forward of £24,491.05 resulting in the total funds at the end of the accounting year being £29,161.36 an increase of £4,670 on the previous year. The Group?s reserves policy is to hold sufficient funds to maintain their day to day running costs, at March 2019 this was £10,000 therefore current free reserves total £19,161.00. Note, the accounts submitted have not been signed by the treasurer or the external examiner and submission of a copy of the accounts thus signed should be a condition of any grant award. |
