Group Lead Volunteer
The Group ended the year with a similar number of young people we started the year with. We currently have spaces available in our beaver sections and in the coming year we will look to fill these spaces.

Our fund raising team has had an outstanding 2024 year raising £6,000 in fundraising and a grant of £20,000, part of which will be received in 2025, which is ear marked for security items such as fencing. Events in 2024 included a Indian meal, Retro gaming, BBQ, quiz night, Spiritualist evening and Christmas shopping evening.

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 2024 by the Group and involved a walk from Shoeburyness to Southend Pier.

Over the summer of 2024 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.

Our Scouts joined with another Scout Group and our local explorers to attend the week long Essex International Jamboree in Chelmsford, for many of the young people this was their first week long Jamboree. We plan to attend another week long Jamboree in 2026.

For the first time in many years we organised a Family September 2024 where parents and siblings attend camp, we had nothing but positive feedback and considered it a success and plan another family camp in 2026.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers involved in 1[st] Corringham Scout Group, without all the hours they give up the Group could not run or be the success it is.

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.

The beavers enjoyed a visit from a guide dog handler and her puppy in training for the disability badge. They also had a lot of fun learning about the planets for the space badge. Many more badges were earned along the way including communicator, animal friend and book reader.

We had a dinosaur man visit, with his very life like and scary puppets and the beavers learned lots of facts about dinosaurs.

In the summer the beavers were invited to play scheme, which was really enjoyed by all. September was the group family camp, where the beavers and especially the parents took part in activities, they had never tried before.

In October many beavers enjoyed the cubs Halloween party at the hall. They all looked amazing in their costumes and loved all the games and food.

In December we had a trip to Rock up at Lakeside and the beavers had a fantastic time and rounded off the evening with dinner at McDonald’s. We had a magical time as always, attending the cub and beaver carol concert at St Mary’s church.

My thanks and appreciation go to Jane and Michelle and also our new leader Isobel, Who together make us a great team.

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 of the many badges that were awarded over the year.

Our beavers have also had opportunities to experience den building, fire lighting and exploring our local community through using basic map reading skills to navigate their way. They also had lots of fun discovering lots of different creatures and learning about them whilst pond dipping at Thameside Nature Reserve.

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

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

For Halloween we joined the cubs for a party at the hall, there were games, food, music and the varied Halloween costumes were amazing!

In November we joined other Scout Groups and many others in our community at the Stanford War memorial to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.

We also joined the Cubs for our annual Christmas Carol service at St. Mary’s church, we all enjoyed joining in with the carols especially “The 12 days of Christmas“.

Many thanks and much appreciation go to Emma and our new leader Francesca, who without their continued commitment and support we would not be able to provide the varied and fun experiences to our beavers. I would also like to thank all the parents, families and of course especially our Beavers, who together make the Colony a success and fun!

We look forward to another great year.

We have maintained our numbers at 14, 4 of the oldest scouts will move to explorer’s in the new year and we are expecting new young people to come up from cubs to replace the in the New Year.

The scout leadership teams remains strong with the same members as last year.

In July we attended Essex International Jamboree week long camp, linking with another scout group and our local explorers, everyone thoroughly enjoyed experience.

We have continued to help the Scouts on their way to achieving their Chief Scout’s Gold Award and are due to have 3 presented in the new year.

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 expect 2025 to will be another exciting year in scouting.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Accounts to year ending31	The accounts have been drawn up on a Receipts and
December 2024	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 £17,351 at
	year end.

Further financial review	The Groups income and expenditure is relatively small
details	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	None.

This will be covered by the fundraising activity and grant applications. As at 31/12/2024, the Group has a loan of £40,000 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 (8 years remaining). As at 31/12/2024, 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.

I report on the accounts of the 1[st] Corringham Scout Group (“the group”) for the year ended 31[st] December 2024, 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:-

Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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.

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.
