Overview
Gambling Connection: SCOUT SERVICES LIMITED holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence, first issued in July 2018. It appears to operate licensed gambling activity on behalf of The Scout Association, likely in the form of a members' lottery or fundraising draw.
SCOUT SERVICES LIMITED is a long-established private limited company, incorporated on 10 June 1985 and registered at The Scout Association's address in London. Its primary SIC classification is 96090, covering other personal service activities, which reflects its close association with The Scout Association rather than a standalone commercial gambling business.
Despite that classification, SCOUT SERVICES LIMITED holds an active licence with the UK Gambling Commission, first granted in July 2018. It's most likely a vehicle through which The Scout Association runs fundraising lotteries or similar licensed gambling activity, a common arrangement for charities and membership organisations operating under UKGC oversight.
With over four decades of corporate history and a company score of 98 (A+), this is a well-established entity with a clean record. Both current directors are UK-resident, and the company has filed accounts and confirmation statements within normal timescales.
Governance
The company has two current directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. No persons with significant control are registered; instead, a PSC exemption statement has been on file since August 2016, indicating that no individual or entity meets the threshold for notification. This is consistent with a company ultimately controlled by a large membership organisation.
