Scouts 1st Hurstpierpoint 2021 th Sunday 8 May 2022
Group Scout Leader Report
2021 was an interesting year and I have to start by saying thank you, thank you to the leaders and volunteers who once again managed to provide such an exciting programme on and off Zoom for the young people which helped them gain so many badges and awards; we got praised by the district badge secretary for the amount we were ordering.
Secondly, I would like to thank the parents for taking on the challenges around the house and out and about, being the official photographers and technical supporters for all the adventures.
Finally, I would like to thank all the young people who brought smiles to the screens, stories to share and enthusiasm in buckets which made every session so much fun.
When we went into the summer term we were all back to face to face meetings which was amazing as it was the first time since March 2020 and we had so many new faces of leaders and young people who took to the rules and regulations of COVID in their stride spending time outside enjoying the good and bad weather. The summer term also saw Rodney Jackson retiring from his role as Group Scout Leader and where he stepped into a new adventure.
The autumn term saw a more normal scouting, with fun and achievements with new leaders joining the group. Leaders completing their wood badges and leaders also completing long service awards all of which to be very proud of.
I am looking forward to 2022 and helping Hurstpierpoint Scout Group grow, seeing more young people start on their Scouting journey while having more parents and leaders setting themselves some new year's resolutions and getting to be part of our amazing group.
Sonia Baker Group Scout Leader
Newtimber Sections Report
at the stars to earn our Space activity badge, we carried out amazing home science experiments,
played games, cooked cakes and pizzas in unison at home, talked to each other and generally kept the group spirit going through lockdown. Space badge, Cooks badge, Experiment badge and Personal Challenge were all achieved or worked on.
Headquarters. Meetings were in smaller numbers to help us maintain social distancing, but some normality was welcomed by all. We carried on towards the Personal Challenge badge and enjoyed a lot of outdoor activities including planting, fire lighting, nature hunting, making a bird feeder, obstacle course and games.
In Autumn we moved back to weekly meetings at the HQ, with a full programme working towards the Outdoor Challenge badge as well as International and Emergency Aid activity badges. The good weather allowed us to continue outdoor activities such as nature walks, visits to the Fire Station and the Church, as well as combining knotting
skills with playing conkers! We learnt about foreign countries and culture, studied natural disasters and relief work, then cooked and tried Swiss food. We attended the Hurstpierpoint Remembrance Parade, but also learnt why it is so important. The Beavers enjoyed a fun Bonfire Night night and had a Christmas special where we played games and made cards that were gratefully received at a local nursing home.
As well as all the Challenge and Activity badges in 2021, we also presented 1 Chief Scout Bronze Award.
Guy Macken Newtimber Beaver Leader
Wolstonbury Sections Report
We ended 2020 on Zoom with Beavers, so starting on Zoom had become very normal but our sessions were packed full of fun from looking at our universe, science experiments and cooking pizzas all together.
New adventures were just around the corner. We were back to face to face, with new leader Fox (David) joining the team we were good to go outside back together. We got stuck into lots of badges while doing obstacle courses, planting seeds, learning skills like using a flint and steel and showing off our Beaver talents.
Welcoming new Beavers was a theme through our terms and the Autumn term saw new members. We had a jam-packed term visiting the Hurstpierpoint Fire Station, learning about what a natural disaster is and what we
saw the revival of our Beaver sleepover.
The only thing that we will have to see if it can be changed in relation to that is to let Santa know so he can come and visit. With individual tents each Beaver achieved massive goals with a lot of them having their very first sleepover without their family; so well done to all who came to that and this resulted in one of our Beavers achieving their Chief Scout Bronze Award before moving on to Cubs.
I have been privileged to help with Wolstonbury and I look forward to sharing the new adventures with new leaders and young people we welcome into the colony
in 2022.
Sonia Baker Group Scout Leader On behalf of Wolstonbury Beavers
Voyagers Section Report
It was another strange year for the voyager’s pack with covid19 still preventing face to face meetings and all the leaders having to figure out how to use Zoom!
For the spring term we remained on Zoom and returned to face-to-face sessions for the summer term meeting some of the cubs for the first time face-to-face, some of the highlights included archery and navigation.
We also did a very soggy but successful day hike with activities. We also attended the Hurst village remembrance parade.
We have achieved 2 Chief Scout Silver Awards with some cubs putting some great effort to complete.
We awarded a total of 133 badges, such as Animal carer, Astronomer and Chef...
Both Paul and Przemek worked towards completing their leader training.
So, bring on the adventure. Thanks to all who have helped along the way and hope more will join us in our 2022 adventures.
Paul Voyagers Akela
Adventurers Section Report
maintain a varied programme and even welcomed a guest session of virtual drumming to keep the cubs active.
Thankfully by the summer term we were able to get back to face to face scouting although we had to keep numbers low. We focussed on scouting skills, pioneering, first aid and hiking preparation and then finished the term with air rifle shooting - always a popular activity and the group is very fortunate to have the equipment and space to run this itself.
The Autumn term allowed us to get back to full capacity and we had a varied programme including archery, Remembrance Day and plans for a cubs cooking session.
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to run the Cubs Dine With Me event and invite parents in for a meal but maybe this year!
My thanks as always go to the other leaders and young leaders who help every week to keep things going.
Thanks Steve Tuesday Akela
Thursday Scouts Section Report
The year started off with us returning to virtual meetings on Zoom for the term. However we were still able to do a number of different challenges which included a Taskmaster evening, escape room and survival mission. The Scouts also created microwave mug pizzas, adding to the microwave mug cakes they made the year before.
When the lockdown ended we returned to face to face meetings for the summer term, although we had to limit the numbers each week. This meant we alternated the meetings with half the troop each week. Returning to these face to face meetings meant we were able to do archery, rifle shooting, fire lighting and kayaking during the summer term.
During the summer we weren’t able to have our traditional camp due to the restrictions still in place, however we were able to run a week long day camp from the Scout HQ where the Scouts turned up in the morning and then headed home at night. It was great to be back doing a lot of things we would have normally done at camp such as
archery, rifle shooting, first aid, games and much much more. The Scouts all had a blast and it was great to see them enjoying themselves again.
Returning for the Autumn term saw us able to get the whole troop back together again for the first time since March 2020. There certainly was a great buzz in the room having them all back together. The term involved a number of different activities from rifle shooting, soap carving, crate stacking, escape room, paracording, bouldering and skittles.
Throughout the year we were able to award a number of badges and it was fantastic to award 5 Chief Scout Gold Awards towards the end of the year which was the culmination of 3 years of work at Scouts to achieve this award. Hopefully we will have a few more next year.
Throughout the year we welcomed new Scouts who had come up from Cubs; but at the other end we said goodbye to 4 Scouts at the end of the autumn term who moved onto Explorers. It’s always great to see the progress they have made in their 3.5 years as a Scout and what great young people they turn into.
Thanks to all the leaders and young leaders who helped throughout the year.
Smiley Scout Leader
Friday Scouts Section Report
Despite starting off the year digitally once more, Friday Scouts have still managed a busy and
exciting year. Spring term saw the young people trying to uncover ‘fake news’ and top-up their first aid skills, ready to return face-to-face in summer term. Once we could finally be in the same room, summer term saw its own range of challenges, with activities being altered to allow equipment to quarantine and some weeks with only a few scouts, so they could isolate themselves! It was, however, a lively term, with activities including old favourites crate stacking and archery, and newer sessions with thinking about disabilities and diversity, or considering how the local area has changed through the ages.
Summer camp was also an excellent experience for those attending, despite missing out on the actual
‘camping’ part. From navigating their own hike to kayaking along a river, scouts took part in an array of activities, helping shape their enthusiasm and experience of scouting for the future. It was also a great chance for them to cook their own dinners, thinking about portioning and the chronology of making a meal, as well as designing their own menu for themselves and a ‘lucky’ leader.
With the return in September, we had a complicated cycle of which scouts could show up which weeks, but all got to experience the activities and get stuck in. We also had some new scouts joining, up from cubs, who quickly became part of their patrols and the troop as a whole.
It was an uncertain year, in terms of where we would be or how many scouts we would have in attendance, but we would like to thank all scouts,
parents/guardians and particularly all our leaders and YLs for facing every change and making it a fantastic year of Scouting overall.

previous years, although we were able to start letting the building again in the summer term. However the loss of lettings at the beginning of the year was compensated by the government grants we received. Without these grants the group would have made a loss for the year. Further to the HQ closure, it meant that our expenditure on utilities and cleaning were slightly reduced compared to previous years.
A full breakdown of the accounts can be seen on the Charity Commission website.
Knights Explorer Scout Unit
The year started off with us meeting weekly on Zoom where we did a number of different activities including an escape room, tin can lanterns, paracord, minute to win it and cooking up some pancakes too!
After Easter we were back meeting face to face, but alternating the unit with half one week and the other half the other week. It was great to be meeting face to face again and we had a pizza night, party games, master chef kayaking and BBQ evenings.
During the summer term we were able
to restart our Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) programme using the DofE with a difference expeditions which meant we were able to do the hiking element of the expedition with the Explorers going home each night and returning the following morning to complete the expedition. This enabled us to complete the Silver DofE expeditions in May which had got postponed from the year before.
We were also able to undertake a Gold DofE expedition with a difference. The challenge for those doing their gold expedition was to walk the entire length of the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne, a
total of 100 miles in 4 days. This was an extremely hard challenge, made harder by the hot weather we experienced during the expedition in July. However one team did manage to complete the challenge and walk the whole distance across 4 long days, which was a great achievement. Even though we had some participants drop out, the remaining teams still did well and achieved the 4 day expedition they required for their gold award.
expedition in September, which gave us the first opportunity for the participants to camp out overnight again. It was great to have the Explorers out camping and completing the expedition.
With restarting the expeditions and the hard work of the young people completing their volunteering, skills and physical sections it meant we had 4 Bronze, 5 Silver and 1 Gold DofE achieved during the year. Congratulations to all those who achieved these awards.
During the autumn term we were able get all the Explorers back together again, rather than
meeting alternative weeks. We undertook a number of different activities including archery, soap carving, rifle shooting, games, ice skating and our annual Knights Awards celebrating the successes throughout the year.
camp, where we went on a canal boat for the weekend on the River Wey. 7 Explorers came on the trip undertaking our first ever experience on a canal boat as a unit. The Explorers steered the boat, did the locks and cooked, getting a full canal boating experience. A great time was had by all,
even if we had a mixed bag of weather. We look forward to undertaking further trips in the future and for longer.
We are looking forward to further adventures in the new year with new Explorers joining us from Scouts and continuing the successes we have had over the last few years.
