Cheltenham District Scout Council Annual Report April 2020 – March 2021

DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORT

To say that this year is like no other is not only stating the obvious, but it’s still continuing to be a learning curve as we all adjust to new ways. This, of course, has taken Leaders and Young People alike to places they weren't expecting to go. It has also been a year when the delivery of standards has been difficult, although we've still strived to do our best. This has meant that for many leaders who have become accustomed to only doing the essentials to deliver great events and activities have found the goalposts moved and it came as quite a shock to see the word ‘Compliance’ being enforced. I can only say thanks to everyone that Cheltenham District has taken this in their stride. This includes creating and sharing written versions of all risk assessments. We are now largely on top of all the Leaders’ Mandatory Training. Thank you for showing that we are Trustworthy in all we do, as we deliver amazing programmes for the Young People, while having fun along the way and helping young people develop their skills for life. Due to the pandemic, many Leaders and Young People had to learn how to be creative in doing things differently.

Group Treasurers have faced their own challenges seeing incomes fall. They are now applying for grants and assistance to keep things afloat and running as smoothly as possible. The 2020 AGM saw some changes in membership of the District Executive with younger members coming on Board and functional sub-committees being created:

Group Scout Leader Meetings continue to be regularly held, along with Senior Leadership Team Meetings, to ensure that events and support can be provided.

A member volunteered to take up the post of Well Being Champion, and she works alongside our team of Mental Health First Aiders. A group of highly valued members continue to hold regular Chinwag Meetings for the Leaders. This allows everyone to stay in touch.

We give a huge vote of thanks to our outgoing District Secretary who, after 32 years in the role, has passed on the baton. We wish her well. There have been a number of Leaders who, for personal reasons, have stepped down from their Assistant District Commissioner Roles, leaving vacancies for both

Cubs and Scouts. We thank the previous incumbents for their contributions and wish them well in their future activities! Continued effort has allowed Young People to transfer between Sections, and into Explorers and Network, smoothly. This still needs improvement. Thanks also go to our District Youth Commissioner, and Technology Support Wizard, who has excelled in both making links, and in helping to drag our systems into the 21st century. He has truly gone above and beyond, and his

Commissioner’s Commendation is well deserved! Thanks go to our previous Deputy District Commissioner/County Youth Commissioner, who transferred from the district in November. We wish him well on his journey of delivering lessons, as a secondary school teacher! At this point, I give thanks to all of you for your hard work. I pray for a bright future as we look to infinity and beyond!

Unfortunately, it's my duty to advise that two Scouters have passed away within the year. There’s much to give thanks for in each of their lives, and our memories of them will live on.

Hugh Stanford (1964-2020) (Wolf) was a Beaver Scout Leader at 1st Swindon Village, who sadly died in hospital on 8th May 2020 due to heart and kidney failure, as a result of a genetic condition, known as FH. Hugh has given 30 years of excellent service to Scouting as an adult leader. He joined 1st Swindon Village in 2008 as a leader with the Scout section, having previously worked with Venture Scouts in Hampshire during the 90's. At the end of 2015 when the Beaver

leaders stood down - Hugh stepped forward to take over the Beaver colony. Hugh ran it successfully, until being taken into Gloucester Hospital. Hugh is survived by Claire and their two boys. Our thoughts are with them.

Colin Holman (1941-2021) was Group Secretary at 10th Cheltenham (All Saints). At Gloucester Royal Hospital, on New Year's Day, Colin lost his fight to a long-term illness. Colin first became a Cub Scout Leader at 24th Cheltenham (Leckhampton), in March 1965, and since 2005 has been Group Secretary at 10th Cheltenham (All Saints). He gave over 51 years' service to Scouting and the Young People; many of whom will have fond memories of him. Colin is survived by Margaret, who is still a member of the Group’s Executive, as well as his daughters Elizabeth and Catherine, and two grandchildren: Edèle and Reuben. Our thoughts and prayers are also with them.

Census 2021 saw our numbers attending all sections drop, particularly in Beavers, which saw a dramatic 26.7% fall. However, our overall figure is down by less than 10% due to Leader numbers continuing to hold up, bucking the trend and increasing in adult volunteer numbers.

But there’s still a lot more to do to ensure that we can rebuild and grow into the future. In the coming weeks and months, you’ll be hearing a lot about how we can rebuild, and get back to a fully active programme, with the recent launch of the #GoodForYou Campaign looking to recruit around 5000 new volunteers nationally – see more at #GoodForYou | Scouts - Could this be YOU!

At the start of 2020, I took a break from Scouting, and I'd like to give a huge thank you to our County Commissioner, who stepped in to cover until I could continue. Since my return, time has flown by! In my absence, an opportunity to overhaul how we operate as a District was found, and a new Constitution was adopted at AGM 2020. This new document allows the District Executive to deal with "all things Governance" and the Operational Team now deal with high-quality programmes, activities and development, therefore helping Amazing Leaders and Parent Helpers to deliver a balanced programme and improving skills for life.

DISTRICT YOUTH COMMISIONER

It has been a strange year for Scouting in general. Indeed, we have spent most of it online utilising online tools such as Zoom to continue our regular meetings where possible. Despite this hardship, it has not been a barrier for groups to continue providing amazing Youth Shaped Scouting as they did the year before. For many leaders, the changes and difficulties have made it harder to even continue a programme that they once recognised.

There have also been some excellent achievements made by many Young People during this time. I have been pleased to see the continued success of top awards. This has been through all sections Beavers and Network members alike. The enthusiasm of many Young People continues to inspire leaders both on the ground and supporting from afar. Continuing the hard work of both leaders and Young People have led us to this point where we can celebrate success and hard work of many.

Looking ahead I am pleased to inform the district that the YouShape award will be launched on the 5th of October this year. This should help provide leaders with activities for the Young People to complete which also influence their programme, allow them to achieve awards and makes their time in Scouting the most enjoyable that it can be. As a County, we are looking to add to the resources which will be provided to you by the national team so that when the time comes for you to run the YouShape award, you feel prepared and empowered to deliver the award in the way leaders do best!

DISTRICT TRAINING REPORT

This year has certainly seen a different way of completing training

Having to learn how to use Skype and Zoom were the first hurdles to overcome and then to meet with leaders to complete validations became a challenge for some of the Training Advisers.

Then came the first of training modules online and certainly a different way altogether. The first modules of training such as Essential Information and Tools for the Role, usually completed in group sessions now were online and validated by achieving a certificate. The certificate then had to be copied to a Training Adviser to complete validation. Other modules followed this including Safety, and Safeguarding.

Gloucestershire County were lucky to have Mark Spiller, our County Commissioner, who then organised and held module training sessions by Zoom. Then followed First Aid, now split into two parts, Theory and Practical. To complete the theory leaders had to attend 3 separate zoom sessions. However many leaders soon

2

found this type of training to become a way of life and I am delighted with the amount of Woodbadges earned over this period in this District.

I am hoping that in the future we will resume face to face validations at District Headquarters as well as now being able to offer them by zoom or other online means.

In conclusion I would like to thank Tufty Perks, Paddy Langham and our new Training Adviser Jill Hetherington for all their hard work in validating and supporting leaders in Cheltenham. There is still a great need for more T/A’s but working with the ones in the team is a pleasure.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT SUB-COMMITTEE

Before September 2020’s AGM, there was not a separate Property & Equipment committee, and such matters were handled within the main district executive committee. Therefore this report is divided into two halves.

April 2020 – September 2020

The arrival of COVID lockdown meant the HQ building was effectively ‘mothballed’ between April and July. In June it was agreed that the Motor Cycle School, an important community facility, which contributes to the upkeep costs of the hall, was restarted on a minimal, outdoors only basis. The HQ was stocked with appropriate hygiene equipment and some procedures reviewed.

The autumn sadly saw the departure of two longstanding contributors to the upkeep of the HQ building and district assets therein. The Exec Committee gave thanks to Peter Jones and Kay Reeves for all their work over the many years.

October 2020 – March 2021

With the establishment of a dedicated sub-committee for Property & Equipment matters, chaired by Will Jenkins, there was a flurry of activity to get back on top of various governance and health and safety matters before the return of face-to-face scouting. It was clear that many matters had fallen behind in recent years, and the arrival of a larger committee with renewed energy would enable this to be rectified.

On Property, the HQ building received a variety of small repairs and safety improvements, and a complete set of safety audits and risk assessments produced and actioned on the topics of Asbestos, Water, Electrics, Fire and Gas. Thanks to the support of local businesses such as Mainpoint Fire, Glacier Environmental, Smiths of Gloucester, and CF Roberts Local, a programme of improvements had begun. Lessons learned have been offered to the wider district, where the property is owned and maintained by Groups.

3

On equipment, the excellent inventories from Peter Jones were verified and entered into OSM for easier sharing with the district, and insurance renewed. Watercraft assets held by Explorer Units within the district were confirmed, and insurance also obtained. This highlighted the great value within the district assets and the need to ensure that they are put to good use once restrictions ease and groups and units in the district plan activities and events.

Governance of Explorer Scout Unit assets, which come under the District Executive Committee, has been slowly improved with the cooperation of the relevant Explorer Scout Leaders. Partnership agreements that relate to the use of local group equipment and buildings also identified and sought to be updated.

All in all, a busy time of ‘behind the scenes’ governance, intending to meet legal obligations around safe scout buildings, and secure the financial investment of equipment which is considerable across the district.

BEAVER SCOUTS

During 2020-2021, Beavers were faced with several challenges, as a result of the Pandemic. However, Beavers still found time to have fun and try new activities! Some groups met wholly online, while some managed to mix both online and face-to-face. Sadly, some were unable to meet online, but that didn’t stop them! Online, using Zoom, activities included building towers from spaghetti and marshmallows, making armpit fudge, making your own playdough. Other online activities included Kahoot! quizzes, fitness and fruit, water days, yoga sessions, learning sign language, and home cooking.

When Beaver groups could meet face-to-face, they were able to complete fun activities such as scavenger hunts, wide games, campfires and visits to Cranham

For the Beavers that couldn’t join us on Zoom, 2 groups delivered activity packs for them to complete, including Gingerbread House Kits, enabling them to earn badges from home and do other fun activities. One Beaver from Warden Hill excelled himself with 62.7 miles on the Virtual Cotswold Challenge Gold Section, normally reserved for older members of scouting.

Badges worked on include:

CUB SCOUTS

Hi and welcome to the annual Cub report. It’s been an interesting and varied year with Cubs taking part in various activities both online and offline. These included camps at home, star gazing, bird identification, cooking, making and sleeping in dens, quizzes, at-home treasure hunts, online escape rooms, making bughouses, recycling, story-telling, mental health evenings, Lego Code-Breaking challenges, virtual penny hike, science experiments and crafts.

When we could meet face-to-face, we managed to complete more exciting activities like wide games, making s’mores and martial arts. Cranham added activities such as air rifle shooting, grass sledging, fire lighting, wall traversing and eating dried bugs (eww!)

5

There were some national events that Cubs took part in from home, including the Apart but Together Camp, Clapping for Carers, 75[th] VE Day Celebrations and Camps.

While stuck at home, the cubs managed to earn badges including the chef (activity), home safety (activity), great indoors badge (staged), digital citizen badge (staged), local knowledge badge (activity), communicator badge (activity), athletics badge (staged), hobbies badge (activity)

Some quotes from our very grateful parents:

“The leaders have been fantastic in really challenging circumstances and the kids have enjoyed a whole range of practical activities, challenges, quizzes and discussion.”

“We are really grateful for the efforts made by the leaders and helpers, especially since the use of Zoom has been a steep learning curve for some.”

“To all Cub Leaders and Unit Helpers that are keeping our young people entertained and engaged with Scouting during these difficult times, a huge thank you once again from the District. Without you this would not happen.”

SCOUTS

News from Scouts! Well, how do I start? Not your normal year, but Keep Calm and Carry On Scouts. It’s been rainy, windy, and a bit buggy at times, what with the Pandemic and the Cyber Attacks. Phew, when will it end?

While you’ve all been working from ‘ome, we’ve been “Scouting from ‘ome ©” through a mix of mediums, we’ve been doing activities like a Good Friday Easter Egg Hunt, Monopoly Run, Live Campfire, worm charming, block programming in Scratch, mayday flower crowns on pets, learning basic Russian, studying meteorology, following the launch of SpaceX, making rain gauges, exploring Hogwarts, hosting weekend-long virtual camps for Cubs and Beavers

We managed to do a couple of events with nationwide Scouts as well. These included WinterCamp 2021, We Will Survive Camp and the Great Indoors Camp.

We’ve also earned a load of badges, each member in one group managed to score 12 on average.

These badges include:

Electronics badge (activity)

Hikes Away (Staged)

Nights Away (Staged)

Chef badge (Activity)

6

Astronautics (Activity)

Digital Maker (Staged)

Camper (Activity)

Model Maker (Activity)

The Great Indoors Badge (Staged)

Meteorologist (Activity)

Scouts International Badge (Activity)

EXPLORER SCOUTS

It’s been a long and tiring year for the Explorer Units. With the outbreak of the virus, none of our units were initially meeting face-to-face. Those that were meeting online used Zoom to enable them to flourish. We’ve been able to explore many different experiences over Zoom, for example a discussion session around Drugs and Alcohol, an interactive meeting with various Cats and Service Dogs, a discussion around how to escape from a Desert Island and fly to the moon, an online first-aid session and several cooking sessions including how to cook “Rumbledethumps” and French toast rollups.

When there were periods where face-to-face meetings were allowed, some units were getting together both outdoors and indoors (where permitted). During this time, one unit toasted marshmallows. This resulted in a kind-hearted member of the public thinking the building was being set alight, contacting the fire brigade. The crew were disappointed that no marshmallows were left, and would like to know when they can join us for the next marshmallow session.

On Remembrance Sunday, one of the Explorer leaders laid the District Wreath at the Cheltenham War Memorial and a unit created a memorial piece around their HQ. Also, members of Explorers were involved in the county remembrance event online, reading the Exhortation.

Some units have almost doubled their numbers during the pandemic,

and they’ve managed to achieve some outstanding awards and merits during the lockdowns. This included a D of E Gold Expedition on water which had a mix of Explorers and Network members. More info in the Network section.

Awards and badges include a Young Leader award, Emergency Aid (Staged) and D of E Silver awards.

7

CHELTENHAM NETWORK

Like many of the other groups, the “nodes” of Network have been continuing to explore scouting during the pandemic, where permitted.

One particular example of this includes a Gold DofE Kayaking Expedition in October 2020, which was attended by 2 Network Members and 5 Explorers. The team were faced with many challenges as a result of the pandemic, but also challenges presented by personal circumstances. The team wouldn’t let these challenges stop them, overcoming them and allowing the 2 Network Members to be awarded their DofE Gold awards, along with their Bus Fare Home.

This example is a model of the camaraderie and teamwork that Scouting promotes – everyone working together, helping each other along, and reaching goals as a team, or a family.

While Network members weren’t on expeditions, they were taking part in the plethora of events taking place, both inside and outside of the district, where permitted.

Quotes from District Members

“The completion of this Gold Duke of Edinburgh award would not have been successful without the support of Leaders at [The Unit] and the leaders within District, County and National teams.”

“ All of this proves that Scouting can be inclusive and any ‘problems’ worked around with an openness and fairness that means that scouts of any age can take part in the programme and achieve their dreams.”

Financial Review

The financial statements represent the accounts of the district central funds and those of Explorer Scout Units as required by POR and the Charities Commission.

Central funds

This year the accounts have been very quiet, due to the Covid-19 situation in the UK, and the lack of face-to-face scouting. The usual payments of Electricity, Water and Wi-Fi have continued under their Direct Debit as normal.

An unexpected but gratefully received sum of just short of £20,000 came into the District to cover the loss of income from the use of the district headquarters during the Covid-19 lockdowns. These Covid-19 funds have been set aside for building maintenance, refurbishment and repairs on the District Headquarters building. The lease of the building with St Marks and Hesters Way Community Centre is due to be renewed in 2022 and some of this money may be used to facilitate the renewal of the lease.

The buildings and equipment team arranged for Electrical, Asbestos, Fire and Legionella tests costing around £500 on the St Marks HQ Building during 2021. They also took the opportunity during the break from face to face scouting to review the building and equipment and carry out any urgent maintenance.

Online Scout Manager (OSM) was renewed again in 2020-2021 for all Groups in the District to enable their continued access for all Sections, meaning previously recorded records for the Young People in a GDPR compliant way has continued.

The Scout Shop has continued to operate during the year. Sales through the shop were higher than expected throughout the Covid-19 issue, but this is still not a significant income for the District. The stockholding has been reduced but is still significant compared to sales and, having taken account of potentially redundant and/or slow-moving stock, a further provision has been made. The finance committee will be reviewing the operation of the shop during the coming year.

Explorer Scout Units

The finances of the Explorer Scout Units continue to be included in the financial statements except for No Name which is reported through the accounts of Charlton Kings Scout Group, a separately registered charity, under a partnership agreement. The surpluses/deficits of these Units generally represent the timing of their weekly activities compared to subscriptions.

During the inclusion of the financial affairs of Explorer Scout Units last year, a large amount of equipment including watercraft was identified. In the light of this, the District reviewed its

10

insurance policies and took additional insurance to cover this additonal equipment to protect the District’s financial position should any of the equipment be stolen or destroyed.

New initiatives

During 2020/2021 the District Executive Committee established two additional subcommittes, to look after financial management and property management with specialised volunteers reporting to the District Executive. The finance team were brought together under a uniformed leader as the chair working closely with the treasurer to deal with all things finance.

The finance team proposed and the District Executive approved the use OSM for payments to District for planned events including district camps, weekend events and badge courses. The implementation of this is currently progressing towards a full set of user instructions.

The future

We will monitor income and expenditure during the coming year to see if there will be a need to change the district membership subscription. We are mindful of the pressures on all the sections and plan to support them where we can.

It is hoped that overheads can be reduced by the introduction of electronic filing and bills management, as well as taking the external bills for electricity, telephone, and internet through the processes of competitive research online annually.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities in respect of the trustee’s annual report and

accounts

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the trust for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees confirm that:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable trust’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable trust’s website.

The Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable trust’s independent examiner is aware of that information.

Declarations

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees on 14 September 2021

Independent Examiner’s Report

CHELTENHAM DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

for the year ended 31 March 2021

I report on the accounts of Cheltenham District Scout Council for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 18 to 26.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. 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 responsibility to anyone other than the charitable trust and the charity's trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of institute of chartered accountants in England and Wales.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
