This Rule applies in England and Wales only.
Every Scout Group, District Scout Council and County Scout Council which has any permanent endowment or the use or occupation of any land is required to be registered with the Charity Commissioners and abide by the requirements of the Charities Acts as applicable to registered charities.
When trusteeship is vested in The Scout Association Trust Corporation, the Corporation will supply the necessary forms for registration and will advise on how they should be completed.
The Group, District or County Secretary must ensure that all statutory duties and obligations imposed by the Charities Acts are fulfilled.
