THE 25TH LEICESTER (QUENIBOROUGH) SCOUT GROUP
We are members of the Scouts Association and provide organised activities for young people. Our Beaver section covers 6-8yrs, Cubs 8-10yrs and Scouts 10-14yrs. Scouts are doers and give-it-a-goers. We go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held no unrestricted reserves at the end of the period, a situation attributed to the recent completion of new premises which exhausted funds. Despite this, the charity reported a net income surplus of £2,042.47 for the year, resulting in a total account balance of £7,586.75. The independent examiner noted that cash funds were up 37% at year end, although the charity carries an interest-free loan balance of £11,994.00 with the County Scout Association.
