treasurer for scout group

evening all
i have recently become the treasurer for our local scout group. just wondering if anyone else does this and where to start on the accounts. basically it has never had anyone in this position before so the scout leader has the bank card in his wallet - eeek!!! and that is how it run. could anyone email me some basic excel templates i could use for bank rec's, payments and receipts. it only needs to be basic as it is not a busy group.
all help would be greatl appreciated.
many thanks in advance

Although VT Cashbook is simple you'd still need spreadsheets to keep track of subs and payments for camps, etc, and also keeping track of restricted funds. This is where Quickfile's project tagging really comes in handy.
Stu, does your group use Online Scout Manager? Apparently they do 'financial accounts' with Gold or Gold+ membership. Though we have the Gold subscription and I can't find how to access the financial accounts part so can't tell you anything about it I'm afraid. But it may be worth looking into.
So, @taskey ...
"basically it has never had anyone in this position before"
You mean you're the Group's first Treasurer, then? Or just that nobody before you had any solid accounts/books knowledge to go on, and just kinda winged it? xD
