What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: sufficient reserves to service its current financial requirements and realistic potential liabilities (held: £397k)
“The District strives to keep sufficient reserves to service its current financial requirements and realistic potential liabilities without cumulating large surpluses which would be better used for Scouting purposes.” — page 5
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: Minibus gifted to a Trustee
“During the year the District deemed the ongoing provision of a minibus was no longer financially viable. Having ascertained it had no real resale value, and possibly a cost to scrap, it was instead gifted to a Trustee in recognition of the immeasurable effort he had spent maintaining it previously (2024 - £nil).” — page 13
