## **LEWISHAM DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL** 

## **Minutes of the 11th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING held on 12 July 2021 via Zoom** 

## **1.   ADDRESS OF WELCOME BY THE DISTRICT CHAIR** 

The Chair opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the 11th AGM of Lewisham District Scout Council. 

## **2.   APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE** 

Apologies for absence had been received from Darren Lodge (County Commissioner); Lawrie & Lindsey Smith; Fr E Perera; Graham Simmons; David Wallis; David Bloom; Rowena Dixon; David Cohen; Lesley & Roger Dann; Trevor Flanders. 

## **3.   PROPOSED CHANGE TO DISTRICT CONSTITUTION** 

The Chair proposed amendments to the District Constitution as circulated and appended to these minutes. 

APPROVED. 

## **4.   RECEPTION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 22 JULY 2020** 

The Chair confirmed that the Minutes had been approved by the District Executive Committee as Trustees and asked the meeting to receive and consider them. 

## **5.   RECEPTION AND CONSIDERATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DISTRICT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (INCLUDING THE ANNUAL STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS)** 

The Chair confirmed that the Annual Report (including the Annual Statement of Accounts) had already been approved by the District Executive Committee as Trustees and asked the meeting to receive and consider them. 

The Chair pointed out that this had been a very untypical year due to covid-19 which hopefully, will not be repeated. 

## **Frylands Wood:** 

At the start of the year it was not known if it would be possible to keep Frylands Wood open, how many Groups would survive the pandemic, how many members we would retain or whether we would exhaust our funds during the year.  It had always been envisaged that we would keep District operating in a steady state with no major change.  However, with the changed circumstances we needed a different style of management which could continue to ensure good governance, manage Frylands Wood effectively and ensuring that Groups could survive in a changing world.  Our biggest risk was the Frylands Wood trading position, particularly the possible need to make staff redundant and possible close the site. 

Fortunately, Frylands Wood had been able to survive and from an initial state of extreme worry, it was now a state of excitement as bookings were picking up and both Groups and schools were using the site again. He wanted to say a vote of thanks to everyone involved and particularly, Chris Ellinson and Vicki Armitage the joint Vice Chairs for all their hard work in the past year. 

3 



## **Finance:** 

The other major concern had been how best to support Groups with their governance and finance, and support was given in advising them of government support available.  During the year a Finance Review Team had carried out a review of current financial systems and the District was in the process of transferring all it accounting systems to QuickBooks for continuity purposes. 

## **Appointments Advisory Committee:** 

During the year the Committee had been holding meeting on-line on Zoom and this was working well. The Committee is currently looking for a new Chair. 

## **Group Governance Support Working Group:** 

The working Group had been tasked with looking at how best to support Groups and identify issues that could be of concern and had met regularly during the year. 

District Commissioner nominated Mike Jackson as District Chairman. APPROVED. 

## **7.   ELECTION OF ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL** 

The District Executive Committee had recommended the election of the following additional members of the District Scout Council for 2021/2022: 

Don Coombe, Lesley Dann, Roger Dann and Richard Leach, all for a term of three years - Proposed by Richard Morrison, Seconded by Kevin Murphy. APPROVED 

## **8. ELECTION OF OFFICERS** 

The District Secretary: Vacant and no nominations received. 

The District Treasurer: Vacant and no nominations received. 

Proposed by the Chair that the meeting approved delegating the appointment of suitable candidates to the District Executive Council.

The Chair nominated John Lambourne FCA of Latham Lambourne Ltd. APPROVED. 

## **13. THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS REPORT** 

The District Commissioner thanked everyone for attending the Annual General Meeting, she had hoped that it would have been a face to face meeting but was not possible. She thanked Mike Jackson for his work as Chair of the District for holding it together and through various initiatives, improving it.  She stated that it has been a year of change: the District Treasurer, Phil Matthews had stood down during the year. He had received his 50 year Service Award this year. Lesley Hine had also stepped down as District Secretary after 10 years in the role. John Goodwin and Pam Goodwin had stepped down from the Appointments Advisory Committee John after 20 years as Chair and he had also received his 50 year Service Award. 

She has Awards to be presented to the following: 

50 year Service Award Trevor Flanders, Philip Wall and Eileen Fricker. 30 year Service Award - Gavin Forsdyke 

25 year Service Award Graham Anderson, Sandra Fuller, Vici Seale, Caroline Britchford, Rob Britchford, Denise Pritchard. 

She also had further 20 years, 15 year and 10 year Service awards which would be presented when this could be done face to face. 

In terms of the functioning of the District, face to face meetings had stopped in March 2020. Many Groups moved quickly and zoom meetings and the County produced new badges and 

Headquarters provided additional resources for Groups. Some Groups had thrived by introducing inventive ideas for activities. Some Groups struggled and did not receive the technology packs available. 

When the annual Census was taken it showed that the biggest fall in members was in the Beavers Section but the drop was not as bad as it could have been. In autumn 2020 some Groups met but with smaller numbers; some Groups had lost Leaders some retiring and some leaving London. Other Groups are now re-opening and the District is looking to support the Groups who are struggling with re-opening. 

5 



She thanked all the staff, volunteers and especially the Management Committee for all the work that they had done to keep Frylands Wood open ~~t~~ his had been a huge task. 

During the time when Groups could not meet various upkeep and improvement jobs had been done on the site.  Lots of Groups and school parties were now using the site which was great news. 

She stated that it had been a challenging year which had been met with courage and determination and there are lots of potential new members. There is a possibly of a new Squirrels Group opening for 4/5 year old.   She thanked everyone in the District and encouraged them to keep up the good work.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Lewisham District Scout Council was formed on 1 January 2011 as a result of the merger of Lewisham Manor and Lewisham North Scout Districts, with three Groups and an Explorer Scout Unit from Deptford (formerly in Albany Scout District) then joining on 1 April 2011. 

Lewisham District Scout Council is constituted in accordance with the Rules of The Scout Association to provide Scouting within the London Borough of Lewisham and is supported under those Rules by the Scout County of Greater London South. The Scout Association is incorporated by Royal Charter. The Charter of The Association provides for the making of Bye-Laws approved by Her Majesty in Council which, in turn, authorises the making of the Rules referred to above (known 

The District is managed by the District Executive Committee.  Its members are the Charity Trustees of the District Scout Council which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities, which includes registration, budgeting, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate. The District Executive Committee cannot act outside the Royal Charter, Bye-Laws and Rules of the Scout Association. 

The District Executive Committee consists of a number of ex-officio members: District Chair, District Commissioner, District Secretary, District Treasurer, District Scout Network Commissioner, District Explorer Scout Commissioner and District Youth Commissioner; as well as elected, nominated and co-opted members. The County Commissioner and the County Chair have the right of attendance at meetings. 

The District Executive Committee exists to support the District Commissioner in meeting the responsibilities of the appointment and to provide support for Scout Groups, Explorer Scout Units and the District Scout Network in the District. It is responsible for such matters as promoting the development of Scouting in the District; the maintenance of District property and management and development of the District Scout Outdoor Centre; the employment of District Scout Outdoor Centre staff; administration of District finances; fund-raising; the appointment of Leaders, Administrators and Advisers; and insurance of persons, property and equipment. 

The District Executive Committee may establish sub-committees. Sub-Committees consist of members nominated by the Committee with the District Commissioner and the District Chair as ex officio members. 

The District Scout Council is the electoral body, which supports Scouting in Lewisham Scout District. It is the body to which the District Executive Committee is accountable. Ex-officio members are all Commissioners, Leaders, Administrators, Section Assistants, Skills Instructors, Advisers, Explorer Scouts, members of the District Scout Network, representatives of Troop Leadership Forums in the District, Members and Associate Members of the Movement registered in the Scout District, parents of Explorer Scouts, the County Commissioner and the County Chair. 

Other supporters of the District may be appointed as members by the District Scout Council on the recommendation of the District Commissioner and the District Executive Committee.

The District has systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories or electronic authorisations required for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

To be a charity in England and Wales, an organisation must have only charitable purposes which must be for the public benefit. 

Trustees and the District Management Team have referred to The Charity guidance on public benefit when reviewing objectives and in planning future activities. By adopting and maintaining the Purpose, Method and Values of The Scout Association, we are confident that our charitable purposes are sound, and in line with what we are trying to achieve in terms of public benefit for both our youth and adult members. 

The Purpose, Method and Values are set out below. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **THE PURPOSE OF SCOUTING** 

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. 

## **THE VALUES OF SCOUTING** 

As Scouts we are guided by the following values: 

- Integrity We act with integrity; are honest, trustworthy and loyal. 

- Respect We have self-respect and respect for others. 

- Care We support others and take care of the world in which we live. 

- Belief We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. 

- Co-operation We make a positive difference; co-operate with others and make friends. 

## **THE SCOUT METHOD** 

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: 

- enjoy what they are doing and have fun 

- take part in activities indoors and outdoors 

- learn by doing 

- share in spiritual reflection 

- take responsibility and make choices 

- undertake new and challenging activities; and 

- make and live by their Promise.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The fundamental purpose of a Scout District is to support its Scout Groups, which provide the Scouting experience to young people. 

The work of the District Executive Committee is divided into three broad areas: 

- Governance ie compliance with the legal requirements imposed on Charity Trustees by the Charities Acts and the Rules of the Scout Association; 

- Administration and General Support providing administrative and practical support to Scouting in the District; 

- Governance Support providing support and advice to the Charity Trustees of Scout Groups (ie Group Executive Committees.) 

The Committee has been active in all these areas. 

## **Governance** 

Effective governance has always been a key feature Lewisham Scout District. The District Executive Committee has continued to carry out its role responsibly and with due diligence and care. Its meetings have been well attended, and issues have been discussed and resolved in a thoroughly professional and business-like manner. 

As we went into the previous year (2020 / 21) we faced great uncertainty and concern about the future.  During that year, and the year under review, the risks and fears reduced, our hopes were raised as opportunities appeared and we continued on a journey back to a more normal world.  That journey proved extremely challenging. 

## **Frylands Wood Scout Outdoor Centre.** 

By far the largest activity of the District Executive Committee, both in terms of financial activity and staff and volunteer time, is the management of our Outdoor Centre. 

Frylands Wood is far more than a traditional District Camp Site.  We run it not only for the benefit of our own young people but also as a service to a wider group of outdoor education providers, including schools, Girlguiding UK and other uniformed and non-uniformed youth organisations.  Our aim is to open up the "Scout experience" to as many young people as possible, whether or not they are Scouts. 

After a very challenging year in 2020/21 things improved enormously in 2021/22. 

Bookings increased significantly and we were able to significantly reduce our dependence on Government grants. 

Due to the outstanding hard work and commitment of our paid staff business has increased significantly and we were able to increase our reserve funds in accordance with our reserves policy whilst continuing to invest in the site facilities. 

10 



At the 2019 District AGM it was announced that The Scout Association had agreed to offer the District a new 40 year lease for Frylands Wood, and last year we reported that we hoped the lease was about to be signed, giving us the opportunity of seeking more grant aid to invest in the future of the site.  Unfortunately, things have continued to progress at a far slower pace that we would have wi Trustees to the signing of the lease will be granted on 21 July this year. 

## **Appointments Advisory Committee** 

The Appointments Advisory Committee has continued its dual role of welcoming new adult volunteers into Scouting whilst ensuring that they have the ability and willingness to carry out their roles. 

## **The Ron Fox Awards Panel.** 

Last year we reported the receipt of a substantial legacy from the late Ron Fox, previously District Commissioner and subsequently District Chair of the former Lewisham North District. 

A panel has now been established as a sub-Committee of the District Executive Committee.  Its remit is to use the income from the fund to provide grants primarily to Scout Groups which will support the provision of better Scouting for more young people. 

The Panel has already made its first grants. 

## **The Governance Support Team** 

The Governance Support Team has continued to provide general and specific support to the Trustees of our Scout Groups. A particular area of concern has been that Group Trustees (Group Executive Committees) have found the recruitment of adult volunteers very difficult following periods of closure. 

Some Groups suffered exceptionally during the pandemic period and two Groups in the northern part of the Borough the 2nd Deptford and the 32nd Deptford were both at risk of closure and there was a possibility that we would have no Scouting provision north of the A2. 

Members of the Governance Support Team provided direct support to Group Executives and the Group Scout Leaders to revitalise these Groups.  The 32nd Deptford, has shown a very significant improvement, largely due to the efforts of Rob Ludlow, their Group Scout Leader, from 11 young people at the January 2021 census to 73 this year, and numbers continuing to increase. 

The 2nd Deptford has proved more of a challenge.  After the pandemic period they had only two leaders remaining and many vacancies on their Group Executive Committee.  No meetings had taken place during closure and their numbers of young people had fallen from 21 in the 2021 Census to none this year.  They also had significant financial problems with a Group Headquarters in need of significant maintenance and difficulties in accessing their bank account due to previous signatories leaving the Group.  Two members of the Governance Support Team, Richard Morrison and Luke Cohen, led on supporting Charlie Baxter, the Group Scout Leader and other volunteers, with further support from the County Development Service.  The Beaver Scout and Cub Scout 

11 



sections were reopened in January and have continued to grow, with currently around 20 youth members. 

The third Group with significant support from the Team during the year was the 20th Forest Hill. This is a Group for young people with learning difficulties who would not be comfortable in a mainstream Group.  It had continued during the periods of lockdown via Zoom meetings but during that period their two key leaders had moved away from Lewisham and there were no longer sufficient resources to start face to face meetings.  Recruiting replacements has proved particularly We remain optimistic that the Group will be able to reopen over the next few months. 

In each of these cases the priority has been to help the current volunteers within the Group to resolve the problems rather than doing it all for them and the intention is that as they develop the Team will gradually withdraw.  The successes we have had have relied on the hard work put in by adults in the Groups and in particular their Group Scout Leaders. 

## **District Membership** 

2 showed an increase in total District membership of 148, to 1,294. Youth membership ( ) increased by 22% from 164 to 917.  However, whilst these figures are moving in the right direction our young people numbers were still 13% below the pre-pandemic 2020 census. On a positive note, these figures included 10 Squirrel Scouts (4 to 6 year olds) for the first time and as the year has progressed Groups are continuing to develop and open new sections and we expect a further substantial growth in next year's figures. 

## **District Management and District Management Team** 

discharge of her duties, particularly regarding the development of Scouting across the District.  To support this process the District Chair is a member of the District Management Team. 

Over the past year, members of the District Management Team have continued to focus on supporting Group Scout Leaders in local Groups, in particular those with low membership, and looking at developing the membership.  However, the resource available for this work is limited and in March this year it was decided to combine the work of the members of DMT responsible for Group Support with that of the Governance Support Team creating a single Group Support Team reporting to both the DC and the DEC.  This is an unusual arrangement, but we believe that it is a pragmatic solution to the lack of resource in the short to medium term. 

There has also been an emphasis on training, encouraging leaders to complete Wood Badges and ongoing updating of mandatory training. Members of the DMT have attended online and occasional face to face Group and Section meetings to support, to attend AGMs, to present Wood Badges and Awards, and would welcome further invitations. 

Our Explorer Scout Commissioner, Alex Summerford, continued to work with Explorer Scout units to improve their administration and financial management. The units are now meeting together regularly and a good number of young people are working to achieve the top awards.

During the year we were sad to hear of the deaths of the following members: 

Michelle Buckle died in April this year after a long period of ill health.  She had District Commissioner for Beaver Scouts.  Her enthusiasm and commitment continued despite increasing mobility problems over recent years. 

13 



Josie James died in June, again following a long period of ill health.  She had held a wide range of adult roles in Lewisham and predecessor Districts since the mid 1950s including carrying out an excellent job as District Appointments Secretary since 2005. 

volunteer mostly with the 10th Lewisham Scout Group where she was for many years Group Scout Leader and subsequently Group President. 

Nick Smith very sadly passed away in June, following a diagnosis of cancer in October last year and subsequent treatment.  He had been a member of the Frylands Wood SAS since 2013 and joined the paid staff as Deputy Centre Manager in 2018.  As well as the huge contribution he made to the development and management of Frylands he continued to be an active member of Croydon Scout District in a number or roles. 

All will be greatly missed. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The attached examined accounts form an integral part of this report, and as ever the support and service received from Latham Lambourne in their preparation is gratefully acknowledged. 

During the year budgetary and monetary control was achieved by means of regular reports to the District Executive Committee and to the Frylands Wood Management Committee. 

The end of year total monetary funds amounted to a remarkable £500,000, but great care must be exercised when reading that figure. A mere £4,311 was all that remained in General (available) funds. The remainder is held either as restricted or designated funds against specified future expenditure. 

The accounts show an overall net surplus income of £44,476, which very nearly matches the £45,586 received by way of Grants and Donations. However, at the end of the year the Trustees felt unable to increase the Contingency Reserves from the previous year, but the Donations have avoided the need to reduce that figure. 

The full review of financial procedures and practices commissioned last year was not concluded, and our bookkeeping remains split across two systems. It is hoped the review will be concluded, in association with the review of other IT systems in use across the District, during the new financial year, and will then be considered in detail by Trustees before implementation. 

Pending the finalisation of the Ron Fox Fund procedures, all surplus monies were held with separate Deposit Takers, each with a balance not exceeding £85,000 (The limit of The Deposit Protection scheme). Consultation with an independent, professional, Advisor is now nearing completion. Trustees will consider a formal Investment Policy.

## **CHANGES AND THANKS** 

This year has seen a number of changes in the personnel and operations of the District Executive Committee. 

As reported last year Lesley Hine retired as District Secretary at last year service.  However, we are very pleased that she agreed to take over as Chair of the Appointments Advisory . 

Our thanks go to all those moving on from roles - we are working on recruiting to fill the vacancies. The District will work best when the knowledge and experience of its longer-serving members are combined with the enthusiasm and new ideas that younger volunteers can bring 

In a report such as this there are too many people to refer to and thank all by name. Suffice it to say that without those who have, for example, run District events and activities; supported leaders with their training; helped Groups and Explorer Units to develop and grow; provided support to Frylands Wood as a member of the Service Crew; ; sat on committees; taken minutes of meetings; and so much more, the District would not be in its present healthy state. Thank you to all concerned.

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

The Vision remains for all Lewisham Scout Groups and Explorer Scout Units to: 

- Be well managed, with strong stable leadership teams and effective governance 

- Plan and deliver high quality, inclusive Scouting programmes 

- Show an average trend towards growth 

- Have male and female members that reflect the diversity of the Borough 

However, life after Covid-19 remains uncertain and is likely to throw-up challenges that are currently unknown. The District, and Scouting generally, will need to meet and overcome those challenges by everyone pulling together.
