Structure, Governance and Management

The Group's governing documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist

of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and

the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.

The Group is a Trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.

The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee, the members of which are the 'Charity Trustees' of the Scout Group which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.

The Committee consists of independent representatives, Chair, Secretary, Treasurer together with the Group Scout Leader, individual section Leaders and Parent representation and meets about 4 times a year.

6

This Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the appointments and is responsible for:-

The maintenance of the Group property

The raising of funds and the administration of Group Finance

The insurance of persons, property and equipment

Group Public occasions

Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support

Appointing any sub committees that may be required

Objectives and Aims

The objectives of the group are as a unit of The Scout Association.

The aim of the Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local national and international communities. The method of achieving the Aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.

The Group has a strong, experienced and dedicated volunteer leader team and welcomes new volunteers who bring with them enthusiasm and fresh ideas.

Achievements and Performance

During the year the Sections have either retained their numbers or increased them. The Group offers an active program of section night activities, day trips and night away experiences. There have been numerous section and Group experiences open to all members.

Financial Review

The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to keep its HQ building in good repair, replace equipment when needed and continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short.

The Group held reserves of approximately £74952 at the end of the 2021/2022 financial year. The figure is regarded as satisfactory and allows the Group to look forward to improvements at the hall and with regards to equipment and transport.

The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees' report above.

Treasurers Report Year End 31 March 2022

The Group’s policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to keep its HQ building in good repair, replace equipment when needed and continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short.

Boosted by the eligibility for Covid 19 Grants the Group held reserves of approximately £75,000 at year end. This figure includes funds to upgrade the minibus when required and to continue renovations/improvements to the hall.

Looking forward into 2022/23 the Group’s reserves will enable the hall and minibus costs to be met as well as upgrade/repair/replace the group’s camping equipment when required.

Chairman’s report 2022

I’d Like to Welcome all who have managed to attend today - Guests, Leaders, Supporters, parents and young people. Welcome to the 2[nd] Romford Scout Group Annual Group Meeting for 2022.

This has been my third year as Chairman of the executive, I have found stepping into the role over the last few years has been challenging at times with certainly more challenging times on the way I'm sure.

A massive thanks to all our section leaders and all those who have taken part in the planning of camps, activities and badge work, fingers crossed you won’t have to fill out as many Risk assessments as you did over the last few years thanks to COVID.

Thank you to all those who constantly volunteer their time to ensure that this group runs and I've been amazed again this year again by all the fantastic dedication shown by all the leaders and exec members.

Big thanks to all, both new to their roles and all those who have chosen to remain with us again this year. I continue to believe that together we can build, grow and continue to support all our young people and our local community.

We are one of the oldest Scout groups in the area and we continue to hand down the skills for life from the older members of group to the young ones coming up, and this is fantastic.

As we look towards the end of this year and next year, our focus is to ensure we maintain our goal of high-quality scouting and to ensure we recruit new members to allow this to happen year on year.

Thank you ALL very much for what you do and continue to do for Scouting.

Without further delay, I’ll leave you with the words of A.A. Milne “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Scott Jason Miller 2[nd] Romford Executive committee chairman

Group Scout leader (GSL) report 2022

I would like to thank you all for attending the AGM today, it is good to see so many parents showing a keen interest in their children’s Scouting.

2[nd] Romford Scout Group was established in 1908, the year after Baden Powell’s first camp. We were fortunate indeed that we were gifted this land and the hall opened for Scouting in 1938. Since then only a world war has been able to affect Scouting, and more recently a global pandemic. 2[nd] Romford is very special to me, as it is to so many of our leaders and Exec. I believe it is a combination of tradition and modern ideas, a place where we aim for young people to learn and grow and blossom into confident and compassionate young adults.

To the leaders and young leaders, without you Scouting in 2[nd] Romford would not happen. I know you all have families, education, jobs and a multitude of other things outside of this hall but as Group Scout leader I couldn’t be prouder of you all. Your never-ending commitment to planning, taking part, packing away, cleaning up, showing up…… It is incredible.

To our exec, thank you for your support and for working with me to continue to try and make sure that we look after the money, but also spend what is needed.

If anyone doesn’t know, everyone of the leaders, young leaders, exec and myself are all volunteers. We do not receive any money and often pay out of our own pockets for camps etc. It is a commitment that at times can begin to feel like a burden, but knowing that we are making even a tiny difference to the lives of these young people is more reward than we could ever need.

I’d like to share with you these words I found online. They were originally written by a Scout Leader called David Bell in 2014, although I have amended them slightly.

We are only Leaders – we are not experts – we are your next-door neighbours – we are not perfect we are people just like you. We don’t have any more spare time or energy than you do, we all work full time and juggle our families and our schedules and try to keep it all together as best we can.

The only difference is that we believe passionately about what Scouting has to offer. So much so, that we contribute our time, our efforts and our talents to help our children – and your children – grow in Scouting. We complete risk assessments, forms, budgets and records and ensure OSM is kept updated. We are required to take in excess of 50 hours training in our first fews year as well as planning meetings so we can meet our greatest challenge – providing a variety of programmes and activities which meet the needs and interests of our very individual members.

We try to involve parents who want us to understand that they don’t have the time to drive on outings or help at meetings. We rejoice in the generosity of others.

13

Sometimes we find ourselves going in too many directions – we run out of steam – we have memory lapses – communication lines break down – time slips by – but that doesn’t mean we don’t care.

So many evenings we spend worrying or seeking help and advice from other leaders when disappointments or problems occur. “How do I hold my Scouts attention?”. “How do you cope with Scouts of different skills levels?” Our laptops are full of menus, camp budgets, permission forms and numerous other scouting related documents. A couple of children won’t show up and don’t think to call to let us know – sometimes we feel unappreciated.

Yet these children can fill us with pride at their determination and accomplishments. Their smiles and laughter fill up a room, and when they say “thank you” it makes it all worthwhile. We help these children build relationships.

Some struggle more than others. Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly….all these traits are encouraged by the Scout Promise and Law – and sometimes we too must learn these lessons over and over again with the Scouts – but we are willing to keep learning.

Please be patient if we appear distracted or frustrated or overwhelmed at times. Forgive us if we are not always the kind of Scout Leader you would be – if only you had the time. Instead, provide us with your encouragement – a kind word, a thank you – or offer us your help. Keep us always in your thoughts and prayers.

We are, after all, only mentors…role models…leaders…volunteers who have made a Promise to give these young people, your children, the most precious gift we have to offer – the gift of time.

We are always looking for more adult help and If you know of anyone who would be willing, even if it just on adhoc occasions please let us know, we never turn down offers of help; here are just some of the ways you could get involved:

• Help an hour or two a week assisting one of our sections - Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts.

• Help by offering a special expertise you have, any skills, hobbies or interests you have can be put to good use as we try to develop a varied and interesting portfolio of activities, events and experiences for our young people, and that could be a once a year event.

• Join the executive committee and help keep the group running, they meet once a term usually.

• Help with maintaining and upgrading the building. We continue every year to make repairs and improvements on the structure and fittings. We still have much to do. If you can help with repairs, improvements or helping us clean please let us know.

• Complete a Gift Aid form, this costs you nothing, is simple to do, takes a matter of minutes and the Government gives us money back in return, for every £1 donated by Gift Aid we are able to claim back 25p. You can opt in on OSM but if you aren’t sure how just speak to any leader.

Feedback/Ideas/Suggestions - We welcome feedback on all our activities good or bad, the Group will take anything you have to say into consideration.

14

We are continually striving to improve the future of Scouting, 2nd Romford. With your help we can turn that aim into a reality. So if you have any ideas or suggestions, please tell us.

You can have an input in any of the following ways

• Verbally to any leader

• Email via [e-mail] or the Group Scout leader S [e-mail]

• Become a member of the Executive committee as a parent representative and be part of the decision making.

Sarah Osborne - 2[nd] Romford Group Scout leader

Beaver Scout section report 2022

Firstly I want to apologise for not being here tonight. I am on a much-needed holiday in the sun!

So… what happened in Beavers in the last year?

This was my first year as Beaver Leader. Over the year we have changed and grown as a colony.

• We saw our first Beaver achieve their Chief Scout Bronze award since before Covid.

Some of our Beavers went on their first camp, both indoors and under canvas.

• Most certainly we kept our Beaver Scout promise. We had fun and made friends along the way.

Everything started to get back to normal and we have made the most of the opportunity to do activities both indoors and outdoors. We even attended the first district Beaver event since Covid last weekend, the Beaver obstacle course and the 6 who attended had a great time.

I can’t speak for the Beavers about what their best part of the year was but here are a couple of mine:

The talent show at Group winter camp. The Beavers were amazing in their confidence, all getting up and performing in some way. I was so proud to stand up there with them.

The end of Summer term glitter party, where we had a glitter fight. I am sure all the Beaver parents will agree it was very messy but the Beavers seemed to all enjoy themselves, and I know I certainly did.

Our litter picking competition at King Georges park where the children competed in Groups to see who could pick up the most litter. This also helped towards the community help part of our World challenge badge.

15

We have done lots since April and I am sure over the next year we will continue to keep our Beaver promise with more activities, district events, camps and fun Thursday sessions.

Sophie Osborne Beaver Leader

2[nd] Romford Scout Group

Cub Scout section report 2022

Welcome to the 2[nd] Romford AGM 2022. When I delivered my section report at the last AGM, I had just taken on the role of Cub Section Leader. Over the past year I have settled into the role and we have had a great year. I ended last year by saying that covid had impacted the year, and I hoped to have more to tell you about this year, and that is certainly the case!

Badges are an important part of our programme, helping us to provide a balanced set of activities and reward the Cubs for their hard work. An exhaustive list of the badges that we have worked towards this year and what they entail would quite significantly extend the time that I speak to you today, so for all our sakes I will just highlight the Chief Scout’s Silver awards that we have awarded this year, to Willow, Alicia, Danielius, Charlotte Paige and Dominic. The Chief Scout’s Silver award is the highest award that a Cub can receive and is a fantastic achievement. Well done to those Cubs, and well done to all who have achieved any badges this year.

Over the past year we have attended various camps and events. We attended the District sleepover at Jump Evolution. The term ‘sleep’ over is not fully accurate. The Sixers went away to take part in some more adventurous activities to prepare them for Scouts. We also recently attended the Jubilee themed District Cub camp, flying the flag for Malta. As a group, the Cubs travelled to Thorrington in January for winter camp, traditionally an indoor camp to battle the cold, and we took part in some Christmas themed activities and enjoyed my favourite meal – Val’s camp Christmas dinner. We have recently returned from a fantastic week away in Dorset. The highlight of the Group calendar, the annual summer camp was packed with activities, from visiting the birthplace of Scouting, to trying new water sports, cycling in the New Forest and visits to a theme and water park. At summer camp we camp traditionally, so the Cubs were responsible for cooking

16

their own meals, maintaining their site and preparing for the day’s activities. For the most part this went well, though on one occasion someone managed to forget to bring spare clothes to the water sports, which caused a bit of a run around! It was a tiring but fantastic week away, and I’m very proud of the Cubs for stepping up and camping in a different style to what they are used to. I hope that they all got a lot out of it.

We have attended both the District Cub competitions held this year. The Scooter Rally is a fun scooter racing event, made all the more fun by the fact that we won! The St. George’s Competition is a more traditional competition, testing Scouting skills from fire lighting to knots. The scores were close, but again we came away victorious! Congratulations to both teams, not just for the success but also for wearing the old gold scarf with pride and showing everyone why we are the best group in the world.

None of what we have managed to achieve and experience this year would be possible without the fantastic team of Leaders – Sky, Nikki, Becca, Alex and Anthony. They give up their time week in, week out to give the Cubs their Scouting experience. They are all volunteers and without them we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Special thanks also go to Ben and Chris, our Young Leaders, who also give up their time around sixth form/ college to help us to run the section. Without all of you my Thursdays would be pretty boring.

Finally, thanks to you, the parents, carers and guardians, for your continued support and engagement. It is evident that you care about what your Cubs do every week, from bringing them every Thursday to the WhatsApp messages covering everything Cubs and more, and that is incredibly important. You really make the Group what it is and you are helping your Cubs to gain valuable life skills. The respect, tolerance, and work ethic that I picked up through my time as a young person in Scouting are skills that I use every day and will set your Cubs in good stead for the future. Your children are a credit to you and to the Group.

Over the next year we will continue to provide activities that are fun, adventurous, and enriching. I look forward to telling you all about them next year!

Scout section report 2022

We've had a packed program over the last year during which we awarded our scouts with 55 badges for activities such as Athletics, Electronics, Entertainer, Model Maker, along with one Chief Scout’s Gold award.

Since the last AGM we have attended numerous camps and competitions.

Following the easing of the COVID restrictions, we had our first face-toface camp as a Hammocking Camp at Thriftwood in October. Despite being cold and very wet it was good to finally be camping again.

In December the Scouts helped with fundraising at the Lodge Farm Miniature Railway Christmas Fayre, and we went bowling at City Limits for our Christmas treat.

In January we had our group winter camp at Thorrington in Colchester and were joined by the Cubs and Beavers. Everyone had a great weekend. As usual we enjoyed a variety of activities as well as a full Christmas roast dinner with decorations and a Christmas tree.

We had some scouts compete in the District Orienteering Competition in March, despite not winning I think our scouts would agree they all had fun.

I would like to thank the scout section leaders for all their hard work, dedication and enthusiasm. I would also like to thank our GSL, the Exec, and all those in the other sections who have helped out at various times of the year.

Independent examiner’s report to Scott Miller, Chairman of 2nd Romford Scout Group and Sarah Osborne, Group Scout Leader

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to submit my findings from the work I have undertaken as an Independent Examiner of the 2nd Romford Scout Group Accounts submitted to me for the year to end March 2022. I am submitting an unqualified report (for a non company charity preparing receipts and payments accounts) with a gross income of £250,000 or less in the relevant financial years. In conducting the examination and preparing this report I have had the full and open support of the Treasurer for which I am grateful.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Charity Chairman of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. The accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Other Issues for Consideration

I have no further issues to raise as a consequence of my examination of this year’s accounts.
