MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS AGM
With the circumstances we found ourselves in, due to the global pandemic of Covid 19 it was agreed by the Executive Committee of 1st Corringham Scout Group (the Trustees) that there will be no Annual General Meeting for the charity in 2020. This was agreed and minuted at the Virtual Executive Committee Meeting held on 14th July 2020.
This decision was not taken lightly, but considering gatherings both indoors and outdoors of the numbers required were not permitted and the difficulties associated with a virtual meeting of large numbers it was deemed unviable.
The Trustees have however still been meeting virtually on a monthly basis and all agreed (with 2 exceptions) to continue in post for the 2020/21 year. Tracey Orchard – Parent Rep and Helen Ayres – Fundraising stepped down.
The minutes from the 2019 are included below as they are the most relevant and document the election of the officers remaining in post.

ANNUAL REPORT Chairman
To say that 2020 was a strange year would be a complete understatement! I recall reporting to you all last year that our biggest challenge was our ambitious hall rebuild project, but little did we know at the time what a devastating blow Covid 19 would deliver to our Group and the rest of the world!
Despite the huge curve ball delivered by lockdowns and restrictions on face to face activities the Leadership team have been doing a sterling job, still arranging and delivering an active and varied program for our young people. It cannot be denied that the numbers of young people in the Group have diminished to around 50% of what they were at the start of the year, but we remain resilient and determine to continue with quality scouting regardless of quantity of members.
A massive thank you is necessary for the fabulous Leadership Team that the Group has, as without their continued efforts and enthusiasm all of the activities, events and meeting nights would not be possible. The dedication and commitment of all our adult volunteers is phenomenal and I’d like to personally thank them all for their support to the Group over the past twelve months.
The hall rebuild project has certainly gathered momentum and although we have had tough times through the project we are hopeful for a September completion.
We remain fully committed to providing a top quality scouting experience for all our members at 1[st] Corringham Scout Group and are looking forward to a bright future with a newly built hall and have no doubt we will rebuild the membership numbers and become better than ever.

ANNUAL REPORT
Kariba Beaver Scout Section
2020 got off to a flying start for Kariba Beavers; we had 12 beavers in January.
Working towards the international badge we celebrated Hogmanay where we tried to do highland dance (try being operative word) and had some iron bru as well but we didn't try haggis. We also celebrate Chinese New Year eating prawn crackers, noodles, making lanterns and looking at Chinese culture.
Working towards the disability awareness badge we had a visit from Guide dogs for the blind ambassador who bought in a puppy in training, which was great experience for both puppy and Beavers.
Working towards the science badge we carried out experiments and we did some junk modelling making time machines.
We also planned for a joint camp with our cubs.
Unfortunately, since look down on 23 March 2020 we have not been able to run section meetings, we have posted on our Facebook group details of various district events carried out in the year but we sadly had little interest.
We are looking forward to lockdown ending, getting back to face-to-face meetings and invigorating the section.

ANNUAL REPORT
Powhaten Beaver Scout Section
Powhatan Beavers entered the year with 10 members, there were some loses due to families moving out of the area and some due to age, moving on up into Cubs. Due to Covid restrictions and lack of intake we completed the year with at only having 2 members.
2020 has been a very unprecedented year. As it started, we all looked forward to another year full of interesting and exciting activities both within our section, as a Scout Group and joining in with District activities.
In March, the global pandemic started, and all face-to-face scouting and its activities were cancelled.
We remained in contact with our members and their families through our Facebook page and via e-mails, over time we provided booklets of activities that could be done at home, links to virtual experiences such as live links to zoos, National Space Centre, and our own virtual District renewal of Promise to name but a few.
Some of our Beavers joined in with our Districts revised Jamboree on the Trail. They were given a challenge to collect photographs of themselves with as many of the 10 items we had listed for them, whilst out on a walk with their families.
Bubbles our Beaver mascot enjoyed finding some of the items on our list when he went out for his walk with one of our leaders. We all shared our experiences on our Facebook page.
We offered virtual meetings on several occasions during the year, to our families via Zoom, however they all declined as many stating that they felt their children were already having too much screen time.
We hope that 2021 will bring us nearer to having a new hall, and a return to less restrictions and new adventures. Thank you to all our leaders, helpers, our Beavers and their families.

ANNUAL REPORT
Cub Scout Section
2020 what a year that was! From starting in January after the Christmas festivities, the pack went back to Basics for a couple of weeks to remind the cubs of the values that are important in the scouting world and in general. We completed the Book Badge and visited Corringham Library.
A highlight of February was the Buddhist Temple where we all learnt so much about their culture, beliefs and values. The pack listening to chants; the history of Buddhism and even meditated it was very calm and peaceful. This was excellent evening and assisted the pack to obtain their World Badge.
Completed the 1st Aid badge thank you to Lesley and Dave Ward for their inspiring nights and showing the cubs skills that will be with them for life. The pack took part in riffle shooting at the Alf Lowe Centre, thank you to John Daines and Team, ensuring everyone participated even those who we less confident to have a go.
That was the first quarter of 2020 …………..Then COVID hit and turned the world upside down.
We all adapted very quickly and started to provide the cubs evenings on line via Zoom. We were able to complete the following badges: Home Help; Digital Badge; Disability Badge; Local Knowledge and Chef Badge this included making a cake in a mug and DIY Pizzas, these went down very nicely. Many of the cubs have continued to make after this session.
We have had fun evenings included Emoji quizzes; scavenger hunts and various on-line games. We also held “how are we doing” sessions, talking about wellbeing, and giving the Cubs time to chat openly to their friends, as many had not seen them for a while. We also opened this up to parents and siblings. The Leaders thought this was very important, and we personally checked in with each parent to check on their Cub and themselves.
The Cubs were really pleased that camping was not out of the programme, even though it was not all together we did indoor camps; Essex indoor Camp; even District cub Camp weekend. This included a camp badge designer competition and one of our own cubs won 1stPrize and his drawing was converted in a badge for all attendees of the camp to have. The leaders and cubs were very proud of this excellent badge and that it was designed by one of the packs.
The great outdoors was not forgotten the pack completed Jott Walk to the Moon; even a district virtual carol concert was attended in December to end the cub’s year.
Considering lockdown Chetowaik Cubs have achieved 5 Silver Awards; and an amazing 262 Badges, which was an increased compared to the year before.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank the scout leaders and young leaders for their continuing support with cub activities. Thank you for the continuing help of the Parents and Guardians that have adapted and encouraged their cubs to continue in scouting at a very difficult time. And last but not least I would like to thank the team without you I couldn’t do it (Hathi, Bagheera, Mowgli, Raksha, Ricki Tikki and James)

ANNUAL REPORT
Intrepid Sea Scout Section
Having entered in to the year with 11 Scouts, some losses through age and moving up to Explorers, and a minimal intake from Cubs, by the end of the year we were down to 8 Scouts.
2020 has not been a normal year. For the first 3 months scouting continued as normal with Intrepid and Pegasus Scouts attending the National Pedal car championships at Thriftwood scout campsite in January.
In February was the District annual DC challenge which took part again in London answering questions and visiting famous landmarks and monuments.
Then in March the global Pandemic arrived and face to face scouting and major events planned like Essex Jamboree and the District Renewal of Promise and Grosvenor hall were cancelled. Scouting as we know it then changed to be virtual meetings and with Young people completing badges and challenges at home with parents. I am glad to report that the Intrepid leadership team took this on board and we managed to run virtual meetings via Zoom for the rest of the year.
The Young people also attended the District run Virtual Jamborama Scout camp at the end of May. This involved a lot of different challenge’s that were awarded different points and a Scavenger hunt around the home. We were well represented and the leaders had a difficult choice in deciding what Videos and photos to put forwards to District for judging. This also involved the young people sleeping outside of their normal bed to count towards Nights away badges. Again, it is was great seeing the young people imagination in setting up dens within the home and Garden to sleep in over the weekend.
The troop also participated in the changed jamboree on the trail event. For this the leadership team set the young people 10 items to take photos of with themselves and their family.
Thanks go out to the Scouts for their commitment, and to both the uniformed and non-uniformed Leaders and assistants for their help throughout a very difficult year.
Michael Peacefull Scout Leader
ANNUAL REPORT
Pegasus Scout Section
2020 has proved to be a very difficult year for everyone as well as scouting however I am pleased to report that we are one of the lucky sections that has managed to grow in numbers in this difficult time. We now have 14 members in the troop.
Our leadership team however has seen us lose Matthew Collins thanks to the ongoing pressures of lockdown but we are hoping as things ease we may be able to convince Matt to return. On a positive side our remaining two young leaders have now made the leap to becoming Adult Leaders, which is great to see.
Before the lockdowns and restrictions began, at the beginning of last year we enjoyed another successful Pedal Karts joint with Intrepid Sea Scouts. At the start of March we had some scouts and leaders take part in the DC’s Challenge up London, which we secured 3rd place! This was the last physical district activity that we took part in in 2020.
In May the district team hosted a virtual jamboramma camp called Jambo-Home-Aramma. The entire troop took part in many of the activities that were laid on and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. All of the leaders were proud to see how much the troop took part.
In the first lockdown we trialed a virtual scout meeting using Google meet and found this to be very successful. So throughout lockdown one and the rest of the year we managed to provide scouting every week, which we are very proud of. After the first lockdown we was one of the first troops in the district to be able to meet face to face following the approval of our Covid risk assessments. As the scout movement moved in and out of readiness levels we adapted each time with virtual scouting or face to face scouting.
Although it has been difficult to do, we have continued to help the scouts on their way to achieving there Chief Scouts Gold Award over the past year and have one waiting to be awarded when we can meet face to face again in the future.
The troop has taken part in many virtual camps laid on by various scout groups around the country. Many of our scouts took the opportunity to camp in their gardens or build dens indoors instead of sleeping in their own bed. This was a great way to build on their night’s away badge.
The last year has been very tough for us all in the troop at certain times but I’m proud to say we have still delivered a great scouting experience over the year for them all. This couldn’t have been achieved without the hard work and dedication from all of our leaders so an immeasurable amount of thanks goes out to Steven Sheppard, Glenn Ford, Matthew Collins, Luke Ford, Rhiannon Dell and Heather Adamson, in which we couldn’t have done it without them. I must also thank all the Scouts and parents for all their support over the past year.
We are now hoping 2021 will be a better year for scouting.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
| Accounts to year ending 31 December 2020 Brief statement of the Charity's policy on reserves Further financial review details Details of any funds materially in deficit |
The accounts have been drawn up on a Receipts and Payments basis which is consistent with previous years. The accounts have been independently examined and approved by the trustees. Linda Palmer was appointed as the Independent Examiner at the 2019 AGM. Linda Palmer was not however in a position to undertake this. The Executive Committee agreed and minuted at their meeting 7thSeptember 2020 to now have the independent examination undertaken byKin Hoe Wong. |
|---|---|
| The Groups policy on reserves is to hold sufficient reserves to continue the charitable activities of the Group should the income from fund raising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the Group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, excluding the running costs of the individual Section meetings. The Group held reserves of approximately £97,311 at year end. The reserves include some £64,152 assigned for the Scout Hall rebuildproject. |
|
| The Groups income and expenditure is relatively small and as such does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy for the investment of funds. All funds are held in cash using only accounts in mainstream banks. The Group Executive Committee regularly monitors the level of bank balances and as interest rates received to ensure the Group obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an account that requires a period of notice before funds can be withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive Committee considers the cash flow requirements. |

| No funds are in deficit. |
