Chairman’s Report

I remember writing at the last AGM that the previous year had been one of two halves - pre and post COVID. Since our last AGM though, to mix sporting metaphors, it seems like one continuous marathon with a finish line which seemed to be constantly extended.

Our readiness levels changed from Red to Amber, back to Red, back to Amber and more recently now onto Yellow. All of this required the creation and monitoring of risk assessments across the District. Special thanks are due to Dave Marsden who helped create the spreadsheets that many groups used as the basis of their risk assessments as well as working with Andy Atherall to monitor, improve and approve them.

I believe that throughout this time we have all grown and developed together. We have improvised and zoomed in ways we never thought possible, successfully keeping the interest of our young people alive. It looks like district numbers, once unrestricted recruitment of young people is allowed will be close to pre pandemic proportions which is great.

Our next challenge is of course to enable this with an increase in adult volunteers. Many of the vacancies which have arisen over the last months have been filled with existing leaders shuffling roles but without extra support we will be struggling. Scouting and Guiding are joining together to use a donation from the Pears Foundation to make recruiting easier. I am sure this will help but I think we all know that the best recruitment is done at the local level. Now is the time to look around again and try to siphon the enthusiasm from families of getting out and meeting up again to suggest that scouting might be a great outlet!

I know I am indebted to all the work that all the members of our District Executive do month in, month out not only for the benefit of their own groups but that of the whole district and even the County. For some groups it has not been an easy year, but the District Executive is here to help lighten the load a little. We’ve tried for example to reduce the impact, at least for this year of increasing subs. At the heart of it all of course is our District Commissioner Andy Atherall whose dedication to the role, keeping us all in check cannot be underestimated.

At least now an end is in sight. Groups are beginning to get back to some semblance of normality: face to face meeting have restarted for some; others have arranged outdoor hikes; campsites are beginning to open up and annual events such as the Gang show are booked in again for next year.

However, the most important “Thank You” from me and the parents and guardians must go to those of you reading this! To all the volunteer leaders, helpers and executive members who have supported the hundreds of young people in Sale District in the past, kept Scouting going over the last year and are preparing to take us forward into an exciting future.

Yours in Scouting

District Commissioner’s Report

The end of my third year as District Commissioner and we are still not yet out of lockdown, with the possibility of return to normal on June 21[st] receding daily. Against this background of Covid-19 and lockdown, our leaders, executive committee members and helpers have done an outstanding job of keeping Scouting going via Zoom sessions and social media for a year.

Sale District has made a huge effort to return to face-to-face Scouting, with 7 out of 8 groups and both Explorer units with approved Covid-19 Risk assessments. This is the best total of any district in our County, and it’s been a lot of hard work both writing and reviewing the assessments. My thanks to Dave Marsden for his outstanding professional help in producing the risk assessment template, which was circulated throughout the County, and for reviewing all of the submitted risk assessments. Now that we are at Yellow status, it is good to see sections opening and being able to visit them again.

2020 had a good start to the year. Our swimming Gala was on the 1[st ] of February, and the Gang Show later in February marked the return of Sale Gang Show to Sale, at the Waterside Theatre, after 16 years at the Altrincham Garrick theatre, my thanks to the cast, crew, production team and committee for all the hard work involved in moving the show, and the excellent show that we put on.

March 2020 saw the start of lockdown, all face-to-face scouting stopped, and we moved to online Scouting. Our long-awaited international trip to Kandersteg was delayed until 2021 and is now delayed again until 2022. As I said in my last report, the creativity of our leaders soon had Scouting moved online, as people quickly got to grips with Zoom, Facebook, OSM and other media. The Covid-19 lockdown changed from a problem to an opportunity, to try new activities, run established activities in a different way, while still being true to Scouting. Virtual camps, campfires as well as quizzes and sending in badge work via OSM or Facebook became the norm. Parents became more involved than ever, and judging by some of my neighbours, were having as much fun as the young people.

Our young people numbers showed a decrease of over 11% in the census, due to Covid, but most worryingly we also lost leaders, exec members and helpers. While our waiting lists are almost all full again, which is great news, we face an increasing challenge and uphill struggle to recruit additional adult volunteers, not just to ensure the future of our current sections, but to open new sections. We could easily fill one or two more groups in Sale, or expand existing groups to two sections each in a lot of cases, and we are very short of Explorer places, as Magellan has closed, and we now only have two Explorer units.

6

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

Looking ahead, we still face a lot of challenges, which I am sure we will overcome. We still do not know exactly when Covid restrictions will be lifted, removing the need for social distancing and allowing us to take sections camping again. There have been a lot of changes to POR, Training and Risk assessments over the past year, all of which people need to be aware of, and we have our recruitment challenge as well.

It is a real privilege to be District Commissioner of such a talented and passionate group of leaders and volunteers, and I thank every one of you for doing so much more than has ever been asked of you before. Without all of you there would be no Scouting in Sale.

Finally, I would like to thank all our District team - ADCs, Youth Commissioner, Deputy DC, Gang Show, Band Appointments Secretary, and the Exec Committee, in particular I would like to thank my Deputy, Chris Gleaves, for all the tireless work she does to keep our training up to date, our Chairman, Ian McGeough, our Secretary, Amy Atherall, and our Treasurer, Mike Harding. Without the team my job would be impossible, and the District simply would not run.

Section Reports

Beaver Section

It’s been a strange year for the Beaver Scouts in our District!

The last district event to have taken place was The Sale Gang Show 2020.

Not long after the gang show, we were instructed to ‘Stay at Home’ which meant that the world was put into strange times indeed.

Considering all the unsettlement for not only the leaders and parents but the Beaver Scouts too, we have over 200 beaver scouts on the roll in Sale District.

Thank you to all of those Leaders and Scouters within the District and County who have enabled us to keep in touch with the young people. Whether this was on weekly zoom sessions or through the amazing power of the internet. I am sure we are not alone as Beaver Scout Leaders to have stepped out of our comfort zone and challenged our capabilities in a variety of ways to continue the children’s scouting journey. Even though we have had to change how we deliver the programme 38 Beavers achieved their Chief Scout Bronze Award. This is absolutely amazing and shows the effort from both leaders and parents.

We look forward to meeting again in person and bringing together the district. We started having termly events and this is something we are passionate about continuing, giving the young people of the district as many diverse and exciting opportunities as we can.

Thank you to every leader, parent, and helper within the district for sharing your skills and creativity to support the little blue people of Sale in their scouting journey. Your positivity and the special gifts you share in such demanding and stressful times are truly admirable and we thank you all.

Yours in Scouting

Cub Section

I must admit I’ve got into a bit of a bad habit with AGM reports - just opening last year’s, updating it to say who won each competition and then trying to think of something original to say at the

end. But this year is a bit different.

2020 started normally enough with Sale Central Parker and 14[th] Sale jointly winning the Cub trophy at the Swimming Gala in February and 17[th] Sale Polaris winning the cooking competition in March on the theme of “Around the World”. Then the pandemic struck and Zoom meetings started appearing on everyone’s calendars.

Being unable to meet face to face for most of the year, leaders have risen admirably to the challenge of running activities online and setting Cubs tasks to help occupy their time during the long periods of lockdown.

Thanks to the efforts of leaders and executive committees, nearly every group now has an approved Covid-19 risk assessment to get back meeting face to face and several activity risk assessments will have been written to meet the new requirements.

The result of all these efforts has been that remarkably the number of Cubs in Sale reported in the 2021 census was virtually the same as in 2020, a wonderful achievement given the difficulties and extra tasks everyone has had to deal with. So, a big thank you to all the leaders for your hard work and flexibility over the last year or so.

Scout Section

I am sure it will be endlessly documented elsewhere what a frustrating year 2020 was, many will regard it as being a year of missed

opportunities, the activities that were cancelled, the events that were postponed and the camps that did not happen and yet it was still a year in which Scouting happened … differently.

It will likely come as no surprise that after several years of steady growth, 2020 saw negative growth of -11%, though this figure would be of major concern without the mitigation, to lose just 11% of our membership during a year which saw the cessation of our raison d'etre is incredible and is a huge testament to the creativity, ingenuity and passion for Scouting of our amazing volunteers

.

The first event of the year was our District Swimming Gala on 1[st] February and the competition between Scout Troops was as fierce as ever, the 2020 honours eventually going to 14[th] Sale’s Walkden Troop in what would be their final District event before 14[th] Sale consolidated their two Troops back into one.

February dug its heels in, in its quadrennial fashion, as though clinging on to our last full month of normality before March was upon us, though we were all aware of the encroaching virus, I doubt any of us expected it to impact our lives in the way it did. It was announced on March 16[th] , 2020, that Face to Face Scouting was suspended until at least April 20[th.]

Words and phrases grew from obscurity to common usage over such a short period of time, “Social Distancing”, “Self-Isolating”, “Infection Rate”, “Zoom” and “Mute All” to name but a few.

The speed at which volunteers responded to the new normal was astounding, some started holding online meetings almost straight away, whilst other came up with ingenious activities delivered over social media, some also chose to cease meeting and wait for the storm to blow over.

Those early days of the pandemic now feel like a lifetime ago, some might see it as a break from badgework, time for a little R & R, after all, it was not going to last long, was it?

10

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

The Scouts themselves responded extremely well, though some opted not to attend online meetings or take part in remote activities, many did take part, recognising that Scouting was something worth sticking with, sadly some fell by the wayside, never to return to Scouting in any form.

Two things stand out in my mind from the really dark days of the pandemic …

  1. The resilience of the Leaders from all sections, many who were previously complete technophobes, mastered the technical nuances of the digital programme … not just Zoom but a whole host of online tools and games to engage their Scouting audience.

  2. Although attendance in many Troops that offered a digital programme was significantly reduced, in at least one, it remained practically as high as Face-toFace attendance rates.

Winter merged into Spring which soon became Summer, coming up with new and engaging content was getting harder and harder for everybody, it cannot be understated how exhausting reworking the programme into an online experience can be, hoping that the next announcement would be the one we were all waiting for … until the summer break eventually offered some much-needed respite,

A small glimmer of light throughout the summer months lead to some Troops frantically perfecting their Covid Risk Assessments but it was to be early October before the first Troop managed to hold a Face-to-Face meeting, socially distanced, limited numbers, outdoors … and after just a handful of such meetings, we were heartbreakingly confronted with Lockdown II which was to last until 2021.

Although this story will not be concluded (hopefully) until next year’s annual report, I believe that as a movement, we can draw many positives from 2020…

And in conclusion … virtual Scouting is exhausting; socially distanced Scouting is exhausting … but either one is preferable to no Scouting whatsoever. Throughout 2020, three Scout Laws in particular have sprung to significant prominence

…

11

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

Although my role as ADC (Scouts) has been almost dormant throughout 2020, I still feel an enormous debt of gratitude towards our amazing Leaders and our fantastically loyal Members … this has been our “War Effort” and as with our predecessors, we have pulled together in the name of Scouting and made this World a little better. Thank You all.

Explorer Scouts

MacAlpine Explorer Scout Unit

2020 was an unprecedented year because of the significant restrictions on all activities as a result of the Pandemic.

Recruitment

Numbers saw a decline of 6 from the previous year to 25 Explorers in total. This was a better outcome than we would have expected by the end of the pandemic year in view of the fact that all meetings had been online since March and all off-site activities had been cancelled:

Table 1: Explorer Numbers on 1 January (by DofE level and year):

BRONZE SILVER GOLD-1 GOLD-2* TOTAL
2015 8 11 0 0 19
2016 5 9 8 0 22
2017 14 4 8 0 26
2018 9 16 3 8 36
2019 12 11 11 2 36
2020 5 12 11 2 30
2021 9 3 10 3 25

*Gold is a two-year programme

In last year’s report we indicated that our long-term goal was gender parity. That longterm goal was achieved faster than we expected, with 52% of the Unit being made up of females by the end of 2020:

Table 2: Gender Balance on 1 January:

MALE FEMALE % FEMALE
2015 17 2 10.5
2016 18 4 18.2
2017 21 5 19
2018 30 6 16
2019 25 11 30.5
2020 19 11 36.6
2021 12 13 52

13

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

The proportion of our Explorers who come from our sponsoring group reached their lowest proportion since the Unit’s founding (12%), confirming MacAlpine is a unit for the whole District:

Table 3: Entrants coming from 7[th] Sale (sponsoring group) on 1 January (%):

2015 76.9

2018 38.9
2019 27.8(10/36)
2020 20.0(6/30)
2021 12(3/25)

The percentage of Explorers who have joined without prior scouting experience is 16%, showing that we continue to offer an important opportunity for young people to join scouting for the first time after age 14:

Table 4: Explorers recruited without Scouting experience at 1 January (%):

2017 42.3
2018 27.8
2019 19.0 (7/36)
2020 23.3 (7/30)
2021 16 (4/25)

Activities

For 2020 we only had one single activity, our “Dark Summit” Winter Camp at Cornel in Snowdonia, 17-19 January 2020. A total of 21 Explorers and 7 Leaders attended the Camp, which was focused on night and day hikes combined with navigational training. This, of course, was intended as training for the DofE Practice and Qualifying Expeditions in the Spring and Summer, but all face-to-face activities finished with National Lockdown in March.

With Lockdown, we moved immediately online, dividing the Unit into three different groups (Bronze, Silver and Gold), who continued to meet weekly under different leaders, to complete their expedition preparation in case expeditions proved to be possible. We also continued to facilitate and support the Explorers’ progress with their DofE individual activities – which had been made possible through the DofE making appropriate adjustments to the normal requirements under Covid (known as ‘DofE with a Difference’). We ended the Explorer Year with an online plenary meeting for all in July.

14

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

Due to the uncertainty of the situation in the Autumn we decided to take a pause for the first half-term session, starting up online again at the beginning of November. Again, we divided the Unit into different levels, adjusting them for the new intake of Bronze Explorers, which numbered a healthy nine. Bronze underwent the start of their training programme - which has been strange since Explorers and Leaders had never met, but it worked well.

By the end of 2020 we were running the normal programme across the levels, but were increasingly concerned as to whether Expeditions would be possible in Spring and Summer. We could just about ‘catch up’ on the basis of one year’s missing Expeditions (especially with the adjustments made by the DofE) but another year without expeditions would see many young people’s aspirations dashed.

Awards

MacAlpine was founded primarily to run the DofE programme for 14–18-year-olds. Although the unit focuses primarily on the Expeditions because these can only be achieved in teams, there are three other challenges (four at gold level) which Explorers must complete in order to receive their awards, and MacAlpine provides monitoring and support for Explorers to help them through each level.

Despite the pandemic, Explorers continued with their DofE and we had a year of exceptional achievement, with 18 awards in total, matching our previous maximum in 2018. This was possible despite the absence of expeditions in 2020 because Explorers were completing awards which had seen the expedition element completed in 2019. This means that 2021 is likely to see a downturn in the number of awards. But at this stage we are very pleased with the achievements of our Explorers in this pandemic year:

Table 5: DofE Awards (by level and year)

YEAR BRONZE/PLAT SILVER GOLD TOTAL
2015 10 0 0 10
2016 5 5 0 10
2017 3 7 0 10
2018 12 3 3 18
2019 7 + 1 = 8 5 0 13
2020 9 9 0 18

Subs

Between March and September we cut subs by 50%. From September to November we reduced subs to zero. From November to December we charged a notional £10 for the half-term session. This did of course drastically reduce our income, but we think it was

15

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

fair to the Explorers (since we were not delivering the full face-to-face programme) and we also think it helped us retain our numbers.

Leadership

MacAlpine has a leadership and admin support team of 9: An Explorer Scout Leader, 2 Assistant Explorer Scout Leaders, 2 Assistant Sectional Leaders, 1 Scout Leader acting as regular helper, 1 DofE Secretary, 1 Expeditions Secretary and 1 Seamstress (for neckers). The leadership Team has 5 trained DofE Expedition Supervisors and 2 DofE trained Expedition Assessors. Expeditions and camps also depend on a significant number of one-off parental volunteers who make up Expedition Supervision Teams and/or help with transport. In 2020 almost everything was done online, with 4 Leaders providing most of the leadership. We look forward to returning to something closer to normality in 2021.

Wyvern Explorer Scout Unit

The last year has been a testing time for us all at scouting and Wyvern has been no different than any other unit within the District in that it has had to adapt to the ongoing situation regarding covid 19 and has adapted well in engaging as many of our young people as possible, moving to weekly online meetings.

The current numbers registered on OSM are 23, before lockdown we had nearly 30 however with age and some not interested in zoom calls numbers did reduce down to 15 with an average of 11 attending regular.

We have recently taken on some new ones mostly from 3[rd] Ashton.

During 2020 and not being able to meet face to face Wyvern was proactive in engaging with Explorers keeping as close as possible to a scout program and fun at the same time, subjects covered: -

And how could I not mention Kahoot quizzes.

Explorers also earned the badges at home.

As you can see from the above list Wyvern Explorers were as busy as was possible during what was a difficult year and hopefully with lockdown easing will be able to continue their scouting journey earning lots of badges and awards.

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sean for his ongoing support throughout 2020 as without that I would not have been able to have delivered any kind of program to our young people. THANK YOU SEAN

This brings me to the current situation at Wyvern as some of you may be aware I am having to take a step back from front line Scouting due to work commitments, I am hoping this is a temporary measure and intend to return before the end of the year. As a result of my back seat Dave Hannigan has kindly stepped forward to run things until such time I can return, along with Sean, again my thanks to you Dave and Sean. Wyvern are currently back to socially distance face to face meetings and the uptake to this has been positive with good numbers attending.

The future I hope as lockdown eases is that Wyvern will grow and grow into a strong dedicated Scouting unit that we can all be proud of and after listening to some of the feedback the Explorers are showing signs of wanting to fulfil the goal of achieving the highest awards that Scouting has to offer.

Network

Unfortunately, there has been no activity since the last AGM in September 2020, due to individuals’

personal commitments, and Joule Network’s activity has been temporarily on hold during the pandemic.

Despite online scouting being available, many members had to make many changes in their lives due to lockdown conditions: online teaching for the first time, apprenticeships adjustments and taking on more responsibilities. Sadly, our group did not establish a strong enough bond before the pandemic happened, as the group was still relativity new. However, I hope for us to gather once again soon to see what each other have been getting up to and possibly do a few outdoor scouting activities once end of year exams are over.

If any leaders are aware of any current Explorer Scouts or Young Leaders who will be soon turning 18, it would be grateful if you can promote Sale & District’s Network unit as a further scouting opportunity if they would like to consider continuing their scouting journey. You can always reach out to me via Facebook messenger or email for more details.

Although Joule Network been on a very long hiatus, we are excited to welcome more young adults to join us. We hope to organise some outdoor activities this summer under the Scout Association’s recommended guidance of COVID-19 meet ups

Youth Commissioner’s Report

Another year had passed and this year continued to be very challenging time for scouting too. Unfortunately, my DYC activity has been limited due to personal circumstances and the nature of online scouting (our troublesome Wi-Fi and outdated equipment did not help).

I have managed to continue to attend monthly district exec meetings, keeping myself in the loop of District activities. When possible, I would read through scouting Facebook threads to keep myself up to date what some district groups have been doing; it has now been lovely to see more face-to-face activity (under the safe requirements) taking place again with the easing of lockdown.

I would like to thank the District Commissioner, Andy Atherall, for his commitment during the pandemic, especially with reviewing risk assignments with Dave Marsden to assist all Scout Groups returning to face to face Scouting as soon as possible. I would also like to thank our District Exec Committee & District team for including a young person’s voice like mine into their meetings and their support during the pandemic for the District to keep as many young people as possible in scouting.

Finally, I would like to thank every Leader, Young Leader, Helper and behind the scenes secret volunteers in every group and section in the District. Although every group is unique and different, the one thing we have in common is the endless commitment from our passionate volunteers.

The pandemic is still constraining face-to-face scouting, but there are no doubts that Sale & District are trying their best to deliver scouting during lockdown. Without all of you and the time you give, our young people wouldn’t experience what scouting has to offer.

As we approach the easing of lockdown - unsure when we will be in ‘Green’ for scouting. I believe that The District, the Leaders, the Young Leaders and the volunteers will continue to do their best with scouting spirit post-COVID time ahead. We hope to return to more normal face-to-face scout meetings very soon, welcoming back all our young people into scouting under a safe environment.

Sale Scout and Guide Gang Show

February 2020 saw our first Gang Show being performed in Sale for nearly 17 years. To say we were “lucky” seems inappropriate. The world changed just a few short weeks later, so I am at least “thankful” we got to see our friends and have some fun - just before we took a short break.

The show was a huge success! We saw an (almost) full theatre most nights. Something that was becoming difficult to do at the Garrick. Ticket sales have continued to increase, with sales rising by £1090 in comparison to 2019. Once again, my thanks go to those working tirelessly within all aspects of Scouting and Guiding to advertise the performance amongst groups, family, and friends.

We marked the final performance of our ‘lifelong member’ James Goodwin. For anyone that was lucky enough to see our final show, I’m sure you will agree – his reaction was priceless! Surprised on stage by fellow singer Joe Fairbrother, it isn’t often James is lost for words! We wish him the best in his future adventures but know that he won’t be far from our stage door each year.

But with all great things, there comes an expense. Sale Waterside Theatre, albeit small and built for the community, is more expensive to hire for the week that our previous venue. We had to cut some corners to reduce this where possible – meaning that our stage crew came to the rescue, working tirelessly to get unpacked and set up in one short day. A massive ‘thanks’ to everyone that supported with this.

Expenditures included additional support in sound and lighting by the Waterside Theatre staff. Our aim is to recruit within Scouting and Guiding for all roles. So, if you know anyone that has a passion for staging (or any role to support to show) please do let us know!

We do ask our performers to pay a small subscription fee when they join the cast of Sale Gang Show. This has had a massive impact when raising funds for this year and I must thank Andrea Morgan for her persistence with this. From subs alone, we managed to raise just short of £700 contributing towards production costs.

I could fill much more than an A4 side of paper, talking about the effects of the last year on the theatre industry in particular. However, we remain positive and have booked our 2022 show for a slightly later date at Sale Waterside Theatre. We remain confident that we should be able to start rehearsals - if not slightly later than usual. I’m sure you will agree, a very welcomed return to normality with friends.

Zoom, 7:30pm, Wednesday 16[th] June 2021

To keep spirits and enthusiasm high, the production team organised for our members to send in a short video clip of themselves dancing to one of our show favourites. A big thank you to James Goodwin for collecting these and editing our promotion video. You can see it on our Facebook page!

We are currently recruiting new and enthusiastic people, to support the production of next year’s show. Working alongside our talented Producer, we are looking for a range of different support roles. No experience necessary, although a positive attitude and willing to try new things is essential!

We are also advertising for volunteers to support and assist with running rehearsals and organising schedules.

If you think this is something you may be interested in, please do contact me for further information, at salegangshowchair@gmail.com.

Thank you all once again for your continued support and more than ever, we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Sale District Scout and Guide Band

The start of 2020 was focussed on Sale Gang Show and how we were going to entertain the crowds, keeping the high standard that they have come to expect.

For the first time the band’s segment was a standalone performance without any other members of the cast interacting.

To this end we decided to base our performance on

‘Heroes’ carefully selecting a medley of popular pieces from well-known superhero films; Superman, Spiderman, Captain America & Iron Man.

But here was the twist – as the band played, we projected images of Scouting & Guiding heroes (plus the odd superhero) and more specifically local Guiding & Scouting heroes from Sale District. The opening lines explaining all;

Not all Heroes wear a cape…… or a mask. Some wear a woggle…. and a necker.

Needless to say, the gasps of recognition and spontaneous applause from the audience as they recognised their own Leaders, both past & present, were well received.

In last year’s report I thanked the Gang Show for allowing us the chance to “to try out new and different types of music in innovative settings” and this ticked all of those boxes.

And that folks was it….

We are in a difficult situation whereby we have to follow the guidance from both Scouting & Guiding and also the guidance from the Brass Banding world. At one point there was a report regarding the spray from playing trumpets & tubas and how they would be contaminated with coronavirus. After an extensive and comprehensive test this was disproved.

We are hopeful that we will return to practising in the next few months as the situation improves. Watch this space…..

Structure Governance and Management

Structure Governance and Management Structure Governance and Management
Type of governing document The District's governing documents are those of the Scout
Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives
authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. District
Constitution is based on a model constitution defined within the
Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association
How the charity is constituted The District is a trust established under the rules which are
common to all Scout units
Trustee selection methods The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy,
Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
Additional governance information The District is managed by the District Executive Committee, the
members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the District
which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are
responsible for complying with legislation applicable to
charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts
and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Committee consists of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary
together with the District Commissioner,other members either

elected at the Group AGM, or co-opted onto the executive and
meets every month.
This District Executive Committee exists to support the District
Commissioner
in
meeting
the
responsibilities
of
the
appointments and is responsible for: -
The maintenance of District property
The raising of funds and the administration of District finance
The insurance of persons, property and equipment
District public occasions
Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support
Appointing any sub committees that may be required
Appointing District Administrators and Advisors other than
those who are elected
Risks The District Executive Committee has identified the major risks
to which they believe the District is exposed, these have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas of concern that have been
identified are:
•
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The
District would request the use of buildings, property,
and equipment from neighbouring organisations such
as the church, community centre and other Scout
Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with
these organisations. The District has sufficient buildings
and contents insurance in place to mitigate against
permanent loss.
•
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
District through the membership subscription fees
contributes to the Scout Associations national accident
insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken
before all activities. There is a health and safety
management system for the District HQ building in
place to ensure the building is maintained to the
required standard
•
Reduced income from fund raising. The District is
primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and
fundraising. The District does hold a reserve to ensure
the continuity of activities should there be a major
reduction in income. The Committee could raise the
value of subscriptions to increase the income to the

28

Structure Governance and Management Structure Governance and Management
Group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or
permanently
•
Reduction or loss of leaders. The District is totally reliant
upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of
the District. If there was a reduction in the number of
leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular Section
or the District as a whole then there would have to be a
contraction, consolidation or closure of a Section. In the
worst-case scenario, the complete closure of the
District.
•
Reduction or loss of members. The District provides
activities for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was
a reduction in membership in a particular Section or the
District as whole then there would have to be a
contraction, consolidation or closure of a Group. In the
worst-case scenario, the complete closure of the
District.
Internal Controls The District has in place systems of_internal controls_that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss; these include 2 signatories for all
payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that
insurable risks are covered.
