Page | 9 **(Ac+ng) Group Lead Volunteer Report 2024/25** Good evening everyone and thank you for attending. This year has been a busy one and I can’t believe how quickly another year has gone by. On behalf of myself and our young people i would like to thank everyone for their support and continued hard work providing our young people with an adventure. You have had a number of leaders who have stepped back recently and I would like to thank them for their contributions in supporting the group. I would also like to thank everyone who has stepped up to assist in filling the roles, but as always new helpers/leaders are required. Most groups in the WYS district are struggling to recruit new leaders in their units but with your leadership team I know you will try your best as your new recruits show. The way we deliver Scouting has changed, with new systems in place. We know no one likes change and the new database certainly has had some teething problems which HQ are working through but ultimately the new system will have a positive impact in the coming years. Training has totally changed with the Wood Badge now being optional, but support will be given to every person wanting to take that path. Growing roots learning is now being utilised allowing more people to complete their training online and this will replace the old school weekend training in most instances. To conclude, Lightcliffe Scout Group with the efforts of the team, I am sure will go from strength to strength. You have some fabulous facilities and although you face challenges relating to the building, I am confident that you will address these. Please be proud of what you do and continue the great work. Thank you. Andy Robinson District Lead Volunteer and acting Lightcliffe Group Lead Volunteer. Page | 10 **Beaver Report 2024/25** Beaver Leaders – Julie Jessop / Linda Lockwood Julie and Linda have lej during the year and Georgina (Cub Leader) has been temporarily running the sec@on. In the absence of a Beaver Leader, the Cub Leader (George), with the support of Brian Reeves and a number of parents, have kept the Beaver sec@on running. The colony has reduced in size in the last year and runs with anywhere between 4 and 10 Beavers each week. They have had a varied programme of Scout based ac@vi@es and have learnt about local nature, been on walks, played games and done crajs and backwards cooking. For the sec@on to con@nue, we need a new Beaver Leader. If you are interested, please make yourself known to the Group Chair. Page | 11 ## **Cub Scout Report 2024/25** Cub Sec@on Leader – Georgina Knightley This year have been very evenmul with new cubs joining and the start of them linking to scout again. The next few will be looking to move up in September. We were lucky to have a really interes@ng visit from a group called Equilibrium, looking at our Faith and World Challenge Badge. The Cubs really engage with the speaker and were a credit to the movement due to their politeness and genuine interest taken in what the speaker had to say about Islam. They showed their knowledge they had gained from school. There have been a number of off-site ac@vi@es that have include a visit to Cromwell Bo9om Nature Reserve, a couple of visits to the local graveyard for Remembrance/Local History ac@vi@es, Chip Shop Challenge hike and local scout camp site for inter-cub group wide game. There has been a varied programme of ac@vi@es which have concentrated on such as the adventure, skills, world and outdoor challenge badges. They have enjoyed team building ac@vi@es, learning to cook on stoves and backwoods cooking on fires, entertainer, communicator, local knowledge, knife and axe, science and crajs ac@vity badges. The cubs also completed the Interna@onal Woman’s Day and History Comes Alive blanket badges. All of which have been ordered and are awai@ng delivery. Numbers had fluctuated throughout the year, in part due to the last effects of the covid period. At Christmas we finished with eight cubs with some moving up to scouts although 2 were lost. By the end of the summer numbers have now risen to 15 cubs with further cubs going up to and star@ng to link with scouts. We have lost a few but the linking has now been fully established and encouraged with scouts. A big thank you should be given to parents and suppor@ng adults for helping to promote the cub pack through friends and family, and schools to raise the numbers. Another ac@vity aimed at this was the Family Evening Disco at Christmas. The Beaver and Cub sec@on linked up for an evening due to bank holidays closure for a Highland Games ac@vity. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents/suppor@ng adults who have helped out at some of the evenings to allow cubs to take place. Brian and our young helper Owen have been amazing and I would like to wish Owen all the best for the future and hope his exams go well. Lastly and very sadly I have decided to leave the group at the summer break due to personal reasons. I will be sad to go and will miss the cubs who are an amazing group of youngsters with such a wonderful thirst for life and fun. I will not be leaving scou@ng altogether but will be con@nuing my work at the Scout Museum as a duty curator and will be joining an Adult Rover Scout Unit in the Autumn to do camp service work. Page | 12 ## **Scout Report 2023/24** Scout Sec@on Leader – Helen French The Scout Sec@on currently has 16 members and is run by Brian and myself. Since the last AGM we have con@nued to run a varied programme where the young people have carried out various ac@vi@es and achieved a number of badges. Benedikt and Samson have both been awarded their Chief Scout Award. The group has visited Bradley Woods and took part in the High All Aboard and the Ver@cal Challenge ac@vi@es. The Scouts have recently completed their Emergency Aid Level 3 badge and undertook a local walk using their naviga@onal skills. The Scouts also a9ended the Remembrance Day Parade at Bailiff Bridge. Unfortunately, the group was unable to a9end the Dusk @l Dawn camp at Bradley Woods in June due to the shortage of leaders we currently have. We will con@nue to deliver a varied programme to enable the young people to complete their challenge badges. Any parental support to the sec@on would be greatly appreciated. Helen French (Scout Leader) July 2025 **Treasurer’s Report** Page | 13 Daniel Haigh (Treasurer) This financial year we spent £6,236 more than we received, this is entirely driven by costs associated with the prior year. - Mower £4957 where the insurance pay out was received in 23/24 - Insurance £1430 where we paid 24/25 late so two payments were 5in this year That leaves an underlying net income of £151 for this year.
