Summary of the objectives of the charity The objectives of the Group are as a unit of the Scout set out in its governing document Association. 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 these values: Integrity - We act with integrity; we 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; we cooperate 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 • make and live by their Promise. Public benefit statement The Group meets the Charity Commission for England & Wales’s public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings

Cee BAGUASURFINGSS UMW MT WERSKIINGWHITEWETS STRETNGZORBINGABSEILING TA TALRUNWAY ARCHERYBALLOONINGBAN ANNUAL REPORT Group Lead Volunteer The Group started the year with numbers of young people returning to the levels of pre covid, which is a testament to the leadership team. As the year progress young people aged out of Scouting, with less young people joining the year ended with an overall lower number of young people. The coming year the focus will be on growing our numbers.

In 2023 our fund raising team was re-launched and raised over £2,000 in fundraising and grants, in the 2024 year they expect to raise even more. Events in 2023 included a BBQ, quiz night, Spiritualist evening and Christmas shopping evening. Lots of exciting events are planned for 2024, including a Curry night, Retro gaming day and a Race night.

Our fund raising is very important as we are using this to pay outstanding costs of the Hall build. Once the final costs for the build are settled the focus will then move to raise funds to complete the outside, which includes drainage, paving, fencing and gates.

Jamboree on the Trail was well attended in May 2023 by the Group and all enjoyed the walk to Thameside nature reserve.

Over the summer of 2023 we had our usual Group activities for 6 weeks where all young people and leaders are welcome to attend when they can. It is found that this helps with lower section numbers over the summer holidays and this promotes linking between sections which helps the young person with their transition between sections.

Once again a very successful Group camp was run in September 2023, the plan for September 2024 is to have a Family camp where parents and siblings will also attended. This is something the Group has not done in over 6 years, it is hoped this will also be very successful.

Cee BAGUASURFINGSS UMW MT WERSKIINGWHITEWETS STRETNGZORBINGABSEILING TA TALRUNWAY ARCHERYBALLOONINGBAN ANNUAL REPORT Chair 1[st] Corringham Scout Group has continued to thrive throughout 2023, with excellent activity programs being delivered to challenge our young people, enable them to acquire new skills and to continue their personal growth and development. This really is a testament to our fabulous Leadership Team, 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.

Reading through each of the section reports and getting regular updates from each of the sections about all of the wonderful activities they have all been up to is a real pleasure and gives me personally an enormous sense of pride to be involved in such a great Group and Organisation.

We still have work to do in respect of the ambitious hall rebuild project that we embarked upon a few years ago. Grant funding is becoming harder and harder to come by and we still have around £50,000 worth of work to complete. Our dedicated fund raising team have been working hard to raise funds for this purpose and will be running other events in the near future, so I would urge you all to get involved and support these events in any way you can.

As always, 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 an even better year this year. We have no doubt that the brilliant progress we have made in rebuilding the number of young people in the Group over the last 18 months will be continued and the Group will become stronger and stronger.

We currently have 17 beavers and have had a fun and busy year.

The Beavers had a lot of fun star spotting and learning about the planets for the space badge. They have also enjoyed eating the food they made, for the health and fitness badge. Many other badges, were earned along the way, including creative, science and cyclist.

We joined the district for the circus skills day and had a brilliant day.

In the summer we joined the cubs for a trip to Gilwell Fun Day, where the beavers enjoyed grass sledding, bouldering and joining in a bongo drum orchestra and many more activities.

September was our group camp at Thriftwood where the Beavers took part in raft building, climbing, caving, camp fire and much more.

To end the year, we had the Cub and Beaver Carol Concert at St Mary’s church, which was magical as always.

My thanks and appreciation go to Jane and Michelle, who together make us a great team.

Cee BAGUASURFINGSS UMW MT WERSKIINGWHITEWETS STRETNGZORBINGABSEILING TA TALRUNWAY ARCHERYBALLOONINGBAN ANNUAL REPORT Powhaten Beaver Scout Section Our program continues to be largely chosen by our young people who have selected to learn skills such as basic first aid to perform in an emergency, safety in the home, exploring science through simple experiments to name just a few.

Throughout the year the Beavers have had opportunities to have nights away, sleeping in tents and indoor accommodation. Most of them will have achieved 3 Nights Away, some have participated in this year’s District Sleepover at Condovers camp site.

During the summer, the Beavers experienced some more adventurous activities such as climbing, wide game at One Tree Hill, nature walks, crabbing at Coalhouse Fort and Playscheme at Condover campsite.

Another highlight was our Group Camp at Triftwood scout site. Our Beavers got to experience different activities including, raft building, rifle shooting, backwards cooking and climbing. During the activities they worked in teams with Cubs and Scouts. They also got to meet the other Leaders within the Group.

The Colony has had opportunities to visit places such as a local farm where our Beavers learnt about the animals (cows and sheep) and how the farmer looks after them, the local park for a bug hunt and Stanford War memorial, where we joined others from other Scout Groups and many others in our community to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. We were also very lucky to be able to visit Southfields Veterinary Specialist Hospital where we were given a tour and talk, and the beavers really enjoyed this.

Many thanks to all our leaders and to all the parents, families and of course our Beavers, who have helped make the Colony a success and we look forward to another great year.

STREETSPORTSSUBAQYSURFINGSWIMMING MT WERSKIINGWHITEWETS SURFINGZORBINGABSEILING AERIALRUNWAY ARCHERYBALLOONINGBAN ANNUAL REPORT Chetowaik Cub Scout Section Cubs focus for the beginning of 2023 was the World Challenge Badge, which encompasses our planet; faiths; nature and communities local and worldwide and they took part in the RSPB Bird Watch. This year as with other years we held forums with the cubs for them to decide our programme for the year ahead. We have had another year of badge / activity lead programme.

Completed Badges this year:

Athletics badge, Astronomy night thank you to Shere Khan’s Grandad, finished the nature badge at Westleigh heights.

Cycling badge with Mr Hathi; plus a few cubs thanks to Baloo learnt to ride a bike as they had never been on one before.

As well as working towards all their challenge badges.

Other Activities:

Pancakes with Pegasus scouts; Riffle shooting, after 2 cubs represented 1st Corringham in the District Final; Mother’s & Father’s Day gift making, plus a Mother’s Day tea party Coronation of King Charles III Tea & cake with the cubs and families

Fun out and about:

Another important theme to the Cubs this year was being out and about. Therefore, we took part in: February Camp at Belchamps – with the DIY badge, thanks again to the scout leaders and Mr Hathi making this camp such a success.

Jotti – from the Hall to Mucking nature reserve for a picnic afterwards with family members again. Gilwell fun day with the Beavers.

District cub camp – thanks again to the scout leaders who made this possible.

Playscheme; Cresta run; Remembrance Sunday; Christmas Sleepover planned by the cubs themselves. Hockey thanks to a Cub parent; Joint activities with the whole groups summer programme.

Synagogue in Westcliff - thank you to GSL for driving one of the minibuses to enable this to take place. From this we focused on the world faith activity badge and finished off with carol’s in the local church. We also attended the annual autumn group camp at Thriftwood, the camps were well attended and received by the cubs and leaders.

All this added up to an amazing total of 229 badges being awarded, including 5 Chief Scout Silver Awards.

I could not do this without my partners in scouting, Hathi; Bagheera; Shera Khan; Raksha; Tab and Riki Tiki. A special thank you to Imogen Reynolds (baby Bagheera) for giving up every week to cubs, and to all the leaders and parents within 1st Corringham Group who volunteer their time and patience to assist the delivery of our well-balanced programme.

Cee BAGUASURFINGSS UMW MT WERSKIINGWHITEWETS STRETNGZORBINGABSEILING TA TALRUNWAY ARCHERYBALLOONINGBAN ANNUAL REPORT Pegasus Scout Section 2023 has been a steady year for the Troop. We have maintained our numbers at 16 but are due to see some move on to explorers in the New Year.

We have lost a leader through the year due to ever increasing demands at work but have gained a new leader Connor Gargano.

In May the district team hosted Jamboramma camp. The majority of the troop took part and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

We have continued to help the Scouts on their way to achieving their Chief Scout’s Gold Award over the past year and have one waiting to be awarded.

I’m proud to say we have 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 Rhiannon Dell, Steven Sheppard, Glenn Ford, Luke Ford and Connor Gargano, 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 2024 will be a better year for scouting.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Accounts to year ending31 The accounts have been drawn up on a Receipts and
December 2023 Payments basis which is consistent with previous years.
The accounts have been independently examined and
approved by the trustees. A W Fenn & Co was appointed
as the Independent Examiner.
Brief statement of the The Groups policy on reserves is to hold sufficient
Charity's policy on reserves 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 £14,594 at
year end.
Further financial review details 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.
Details of any funds materially None.

This will be covered by the fundraising activity and grant applications. As at 31/12/2023, the Group has a loan of £45,000 from Essex County Scouts (ECS). The repayment plan in place for this ECS loan is an annual repayment of £5,000 plus 1% interest with an overall repayment period of 10 years. As at 31/12/2023, the Group also has a loan of £10,000 from Thurrock District Scouts (TDS). There is currently no repayment plan in place for this TDS loan and no repayment period has been stipulated. It is envisaged that the Group will have a good income stream through Hall Rentals which will cover the repayment of the liability in a reasonable period of time. The Group will also continue with fund raising activities and use Gift Aid payments to assist in this goal.

DECLARATION

The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustee's Annual Report.

Signed on behalf of the Charity's Trustees:

Andrew P McDonald

Mr A P McDonald Group Chair 08/07/2024

I report on the accounts of the 1[st] Corringham Scout Group (“the group”) for the year ended 31[st] December 2023, which comprise the Receipts and Payments Account and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This report is made solely to the Trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s Report and for no other purpose to the fullest extent permitted by law. I do not accept or assume any responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees for my examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

As the Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:-

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect:-

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