## **General Group Activities**
Due to continued covid restrictions things have been a lot quieter that other years. All sections performed on Zoom when face to face scouting was stopped by Scout Association rulings. With the scouts superior knowledge computer wise, zoom meetings generally had a light hearted approach - silly 'hats' 'glasses' 'hair' etc superimposed- by youth members.
None the less, cubs and scouts were both about at non restricted times, playing rounders etc at a local playing field. Rounders in the dark is great fun, or so the scouts thought. Also a litter pick was organised and ran quite well.
We had a group camp during the summer at Thorrington Scout Campsite, which was very well attended and we all had a fun and educational week. Rain blessed us, but not for too many hours. It gave us a chance to try out our new marquee (We had to pension the old one off after 10 plus years of faithful service - too many drips, not kids - water through the roof.
Our explorer Young Leaders, plus a few more explorers, also attended and worked hard with the younger scouts while still having a great camp. Scouts earned several Gold Outdoor Awards plus Camper and Camp Cook Activity Badges.
Our leader team is pretty strong, with Beavers having 5 adults, two Young Leaders; Cubs with 4 adults : 2 young Leaders; Scouts with 4 adults, two Young Leaders; Explorers with 2 adult leaders; 1 part time adult leader.
We are hoping to be able to take part in District Scouting events soon (covid closed for last two seasons) - something the 26th have always done well at.
The scouts plan to 'sail' the coracle as soon as it, the weather and covid free times, all come good. We'll probably use the boating lake in the park for coracle trial run - it's quite shallow.

## **Walnut Tree care home visit – Local newspaper item**
A local sea scout group brought a little Christmas cheer to Shrub End today (Sat 12[th] December 2019) with a festive delivery of potted plants and gifts to some elderly residents.
Each year youngsters from 26[th] Colchester 1[st] Sea Scout Group visit either Walnut Tree House or, prior to 2019, Elfreda House (now being rebuilt to newer modern standards)sheltered accommodation complexs to plant bulbs in their communial gardens and provide some company for the elderly people who live there.
However, with all 'face-to face' scouting off the cards due to covid restrictions, leaders had to rethink how the annual tradition could still safely take place.
Group Scout Leader Tony Jay said “The beavers; cubs; scouts and explorers know how important it is to look out for others, especially those who are more isolated than usual due to the pandemic”. “We wanted to make sure that the gardens of Walnut Tree House were bursting with colour come springtime, so we did a massive 'plant-along' at home, via Zoom!'
Joff Hopkins, Beaver Section Assistant added “Our beavers always enjoy getting their hands dirty – and despite the difficulties that meeting via Zoom presents, our youngsters got really stuck in with their planting, whether at the kitched table or on their hallway floor, as well as decorating gift bags with Christmas messages”
“We're also extremely grateful to their families who generously donated boxes of chocolates for the residents. I'm sure it will provide plenty of Christmas cheer”
The bulbs and gift bags were dropped off at the home, followed by a socially-distanced rendition of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” from the car park to residents at their windows. Also the outside gardens were planted in readyness for spring.
The beavers; cubs and scouts – who range from age 6 to 14 years old have continued to meet each week during the covid periods using online technology.
Jan Lawlor, Assistant Scout Leader explained “While some traditional scouting activities are more difficult over Zoom, we've actually found new ways of keeping our youngsters entertained, finding out about the World and earning badges.
“Our scouts enjoyed doing Christmas Crafts, one of their regular annual events, at home; the cubs have kept their map-reading skills up-todate; and the beavers went on a World tour using Google Earth and You Tube.”
Jenny Jay, Assistant Group scout Leader / Beaver Leader added, “We expect to keep Zooming in 2021. but we can't wait until we can get back together in person again”.
“Our beavers; cubs and scouts have adapted to online meetings so well, and have shown incredible resilience over the last few months. But we know they're missing being able to go on camps at Thorrington and further away, sailing at Mersea and other face to face outdoor activities. Fingers crossed, we hope to be able to make art least some of this happen next year”. **And we have!!!**

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** 26[TH ] COLCHESTER 1[ST] SCOUT GROUP **members of On accounts for the year** 31[st] December 2020 **Charity no** 1038118 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1-4
**Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent**
**examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention other than **statement** that disclosed below
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** 26[TH ] COLCHESTER 1[ST] SCOUT GROUP **members of On accounts for the year** 31[st] December 2020 **Charity no** 1038118 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1-4
**Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent**
**examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention other than **statement** that disclosed below
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
