until they developed|

and maintain

They managed
to complete at|

ofAugust, one day before the|
||||||first sailing course ofthe year took place.|
||||||This was made possible
with extensive
Risk|
||||||Assessments
and a robust cleaning system.|
||||||Our normal fourteen courses were cut to|
||||||four. As a result ofthe extremely
inventive|
||||||and adaptable
programmes
on zoom|
||||||meetings
our group were able to keep its|
||||||members
engaged. Our section leaders kept|
||||||the meetings
light and interesting
with lots of|
||||||fun, which gave such a change to school|
||||||online and helped enormously
with the|

health ofour youngsters
and leaders.|
||||||There was a short period before Christmas|
||||||when we were able to meet indoors again|
||||||but this all fell apart with another
return to|

After the holiday we had to return|
||||||to zoom meetings
but continued
to keep our|
||||||members
involved
in scouting. Overall our|
||||||group managed
to realise what was required|
||||||and adapt quickly to the changes. Hats offto|

with a|

|financial|position at the end||progress
in terms ofthe development
ofthe|
|ofthe period|||water base. The key heading
project has|
||||had the majority ofthe work completed.
This|
||||has led to a higher than usual expenses|
||||against ihe account that would require a|
||||disproportionate
reserve to be carried|
||||forward.
When this project is excluded the|
||||spend is considerably
lower due to the|
||||restrictions
caused by Covid. The reserve|
||||held exceeds the running
costs ofthe Group|
||||based on pre-Covid years and has not been|
||||calculated
against this year's spending
due|
||||to the unusual
circumstances
ofthe financial|
||||year caused by the water base project and|
||||Covid.|
||||Whilst the income to the Group looks|
||||impressive
on paper, the majority ofthis|
||||income is in the form ofsupport grants due|
||||to Covid or other grants and a loan to|
||||support the progress on the keyheading|
