Reports
District Lead Volunteer
I was appointed DC for Stroud and Tetbury at the end of September 2023 so in the role starting in October. Previously I had been Akela with Slimbridge Cubs and then as their Scout Leader before applying for this. The DLV role is a very diverse role and not just “getting out there” as I am finding out. I have been able to visit all of the Groups in the District which means not all Sections yet but working on it. Lots of administration behind the scenes which needs to be completed timely. I have visited sections in the venues, at camps or activities throughout the District, and glad to say that activities are happening and with lots more planned. I was also at a joint Beaver Leaders meeting which was informative so well done to Mary for organising this and the Leaders for taking part. Thank you, and now looking to do the same for Cubs, Scouts etc, so an ADC for those please.
Aims - I have a few aims to achieve in the short term and long term so looking for support in many different areas. This will make us smarter and more effective as a District and in turn, as Groups. Looking at an annual District event as well as international events and
getting input from Stroud & Tetbury, both Young People and Leaders. We need a new Trustee Board which will work on two levels, Admin, Governance and the Operational and Events, so require a range of Trustees please. I have contacted local organisations for help but if any home-grown and Youth would be great. Thank you for those already on the Board and have been there some time, potentially wishing for a change but definitely more support and input needed.
Census – First time at completing for me, finished on time with support from Louise, Thank you. Ended up with District growth of 4% and since have had regular input from new Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts wanting to join as well as starting a new Squirrel drey, credit to those Leaders involved, so keeping the district moving forwards.
Compliance – Still pushing for Groups / Sections to complete admin and keep up to date with DBS / Mandatory training, but the number of non-compliance is getting lower, I would say partly due to lack of GSL’s to push this, so possibly a spreadsheet / chart to keep you up to date and support from your Group Boards, we do need more GSL etc please.
Transformation – In short, we need lots more Adult and Youth Leaders to get into Groups / Sections to fully support, we do have a good percentage who will “just” go through transformation and some who will need further support. I am asking that as we get new Young People requests to join sections, we ask their Parent if they would like to become a Parent Helper / potential Leader.
My own training and courses are going well, I was at Gilwell in March which covered lots of areas with another course (Cranham) later this year. We now have some HQ support to help restart Stonehouse.
NNA–Nights away training is taking place with our 3-person team ending with a supported camp in July / August, (dates to be confirmed). They also check the NAN forms first for me to approve.
Paul Bentley – District Lead Volunteer
Youth Commissioner (District Youth Lead
I have now been in the youth lead role for five months and in that time, I have had the opportunity to visit different groups and section and attended some larger events. Travelling round the district has allowed me to meet the young people and tell them a little bit more about this role but also to talk to thew amazing leaders that keep their groups running. It has been great to see that there is a lot of youth shaped scouting happening throughout our district and the voices of young people are being listened too.
In April, myself and a few youth leads from around the county, travelled to Gilwell for the Youth Lead Support Weekend. This provided us the opportunity to meet other youth leads
from around the country, share ideas and take part in some informative sessions run by headquarters.
At the end of April, I had the chance to help run module B during the county Young Leader Module Day. It was great to young leaders from around the county enjoying this day of training.
Heading into May, I headed to Snowdonia with the district explorers for the bank holiday weekend pack full of activities and hikes. The explorers seemed to thoroughly enjoy this even if they were a little tired after the mountain hike! The week after, I attended the Randwick Wap where Randwick Scouts ran both the car parking and a brownie stall. The young people played a massive part in the event and there were smiles all around.
Looking into the future, I’m excited to continue my journey around the district, meeting more leaders and young people. I am looking forward to attending Strategy this year as well as Worcester District Camp to see how they run such an event. Lastly, I am excited to be heading out to Norway in July with the UK Roverway Contingent alongside Patrol 43 (Gloucestershire) of which Stroud and Tetbury are represented within.
Rhys Herschell-Burns – District Youth Lead
World Scout Jamboree 2023
Steve Jackson and 12 young people from Stroud & Tetbury District attended the ‘much publicised’ WSJ in South Korea in July/August 2023, as part of the Gloucestershire County Unit. Following selection in Autumn 2021, each participant successfully raised the £4000 fee for attending the WSJ and aside from receiving various donations, individuals undertook a wide variety of fundraising events, including some hedge cutting and tree felling at District HQ.
Arriving in Seoul amid a heatwave at the end of July 2023, rumours were already rife about the unpreparedness of the site. After 8 days in Seoul, the Unit moved to the south of the country and were the first UK unit to arrive at the WSJ site. After settling in and attending the opening ceremony, the Unit only had 3 days on site before UK Scouts made the decision to remove all our YP from the site. As publicised, the site was not in a good condition, sanitation wasn’t great and there were safeguarding issues. Furthermore, many UK scouts had been hospitalised (albeit no-one from Gloucestershire required medical treatment). The Unit went back to Seoul for a further 8 days prior to returning to the UK. Despite not undertaking the ‘full’ Jamboree experience, all the young people gained much from the build-up and trip in terms of life skills and, in particular, they showed great resilience in the face of fairly arduous conditions.
Steve Jackson – Leader, Unit 81
International Service Team
Last July and August, myself and a group of leaders from Stroud and Tetbury attended the 25[th] World Scout Jamboree as part the International Service Team (IST) from the UK Contingent. This was an interesting experience and not at all what we were expecting as you probably all heard. We overcame many challenges while in South Korea to give the best experience possible to the young people from both the UK and the rest of the world. Despite the challenges we faced on site, we all made friends and made the best of the situation. Once back in the capital (Seoul), We primarily support our UK units ensuring everyone was happy and healthy and having a good time and although this many not have been a “normal” jamboree, the young people I spoke to were having a great time and thoroughly enjoying the experience…. albeit a unique one!
Thank you to the District team for helping enable both ourselves and the participants in attending this Jamboree, this is an experience that we won’t forget any time soon!
Rhys Herschell-Burns – District Youth Lead
Young Leader Training
Steve Jackson and Jacks Graham continue to deliver the Young Leader modules to the Stroud & Tetbury District Young Leaders. In 2023/24, four sessions were organised and over 24 Young Leaders participated gaining knowledge in leadership, programme planning, behaviour management and first aid amongst other subjects. Four Young Leaders were awarded their Young Leader belts following completion of the four missions.
Pennwood
A lot of the camping bookings through the past year have been for weekends and there have been few vacancies. The range of groups has been the usual mix of scouts, guides, schools and other youth groups. Bookings have come from our District, Dursley, Bristol, Gloucester, Swindon, Hereford, Somerset, various London groups, schools DofE groups and several other youth groups. Looking through the forms we had more than 2300 people using the site, this an approximate number as not everyone completes the booking form!
November is a date to forget because on one of my regular site inspections I walked into the bunkhouse to be greeted by water cascading from the light fittings and the electric had tripped out, all we could do was turn off the water and wait for the flood to subside. After 2 or 3 days the shower had slowed enough to take some of the ceiling down to discover the leak. It was then we found a dead squirrel, a hole in the main water feed pipe, and that the electric and fire alarm cables had been chewed through to bare wire. All bookings through the remainder of November and December had to be cancelled. Repairs were made and a new fire alarm system installed. Thanks must go to Paul Blanch, Dan Wilkinson and Chris Barton for the work they have done at short notice.
The rain throughout November, December to the present has meant, because of soggy ground, fewer places available to camp. The ground has not had chance to dry out
properly and the grass has not yet regrown in the places that have been used. We pray for some sunshine.
I would like to ask leaders to plan ahead as space is short especially at the moment, we are almost full into October, and we have one booking for June 2025.
Keith Stanley – Warden, Pennwood
District Headquarters – St Swithuns
Regular users and one-off bookings contribute to the running costs of the building that is used by The Stanleys Scout Group three sections, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, as does Farriers Explorers. All health and safety requirements up to date and the fire alarm installed that enables us to take overnight bookings that is now permissible with the variation to the planning approval. New energy contracts deliver improved value with refunds secured from the previous sole supplier.
The hall is also used for district activities including some Nights Away update sessions, Archery and Rifle shooting, and the District Trustee Board meetings.
Scout Shop
The shop is a great asset for the District with all profits returned to promote Scouting in the District.
We’ve had a busy year and continue to sell to our local leaders and parents but with the online shop we now serve many others across the whole Country.
We are pleased to say we have had a few more volunteers to help but are keen to expand the team, you don’t need any experience and we are currently devising a rota system to make sure we give the best possible service.
If you can help drop us an email at shop@stscouts.org.uk and don’t forget to make sure you order all your badges and uniform from us to ensure profits remain local!
Explorers
The Units in the District continue to serve out 14-17 year olds well and the amazing leadership teams provide a great weekly programme.

-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

The Trustees of the Stroud and Tetbury District Scout Council, which is a registered charity (number 102632), present their report together with the financial statements. It is administered by the members of the Executive committee, (now known as the District Trustee Board), who are also the charity's trustees. The membership of the Executive committee who served during the year is shown on page 3. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives of the Charity: The objectives of the Charity are to support the local Groups in pursuit of the Scout Association objectives.
The Scout Association objectives are to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
The District is a trust established under its rules, which are common to all Scout Groups and Districts. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the policy, organisation and rules of the Scout Association.
Organisation: The trustees are elected for a term of three years by the membership in accordance with the constitution.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of Developments, Activities and Achievements : The Charity has continued to carry out its primary objectives during the year under review.
Financial Controls: Financial controls are carried out through the Trustees.
Investment Powers and Restrictions: The trustees are authorised to invest surplus funds in high interest bank accounts. During the year under review surplus funds were held with the Scout Association Short Term Investment Service.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources: The main source of income during the year were membership fees, subscriptions and government grants.
Reserves Policy: It is the policy of the Trustees that funds that have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 12 months' expenditure. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. At the end of the financial year, funds in the sum of £3,559 (2023: £3,559) were reserved for the next year’s Farriers Stomp event.

Results: The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document: The charity is governed by Royal Charter granted 4 January 1912. This District Constitution (revision number 2.00) was approved by a special meeting of the Stroud and Tetbury District Scout Council on 9 July 2014.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees : Members of the District Executive Committee are the charity trustees of the Stroud District. Only persons aged 18 and over may be full voting members of the District Executive Committee. The trustees are elected for a term of three years by the membership in accordance with the constitution.

They have reviewed these and have established systems to mitigate them including strict control of appointments, health and safety issues relating to the physical environment and activities, internal financial controls and the provision of suitable insurance.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Trustees' Responsibilities: The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principals in the Charity SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Stroud & Tetbury District Scout Council
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Stroud & Tetbury District Scout Council
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Stroud & Tetbury District Scout Council (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
