Chairman’s Report

Welcome to this year’s AGM of the Sale Scout Council, our annual opportunity to meet together, to reflect on and celebrate our District achievements in 2022 (as well as to complete some of the legal requirements of our charity status!) At long last COVID, although it hadn’t gone away, became much less of a threat and the focus for all of our groups was to get back to normal Scouting. … and we did … thanks as always to the tireless work of all the volunteers working in every group and section in the District.

Although there was no Gang show in 2022 preparations were made to ensure that it was brought back to the Waterside in February this year and what a fantastic show it was! Such an enthusiastic and talented cast supported as always with a great team of backstage staff. I cannot wait for their next production. The Remembrance Day parade continues to be a reminder of just how many young people are part of the Scouting family.

The District continued to evolve over 2022. The later reports give testament to the enormous range of activities that we provided. In 2022 Squirrels made their first drey in Sale at 14th Sale, another Beaver Colony opened at Sale Central and Hive Explorer Scouts based at 14th Sale was launched. Many thanks too to Clive Winby and his team for organising the Kandersteg International Scout Camp trip. It is great to see how the District continues to grow. There is so much potential for further growth but, inevitably, the limiting factor remains the need for more adult volunteers. The more helpers we have the easier it is for everyone and the greater the number of young people that can become involved in Scouting … but if you are reading this you probably already know that! However, if you are not yet involved in Scouting……….you are very welcome to join us!

Recruitment is the main driving force behind the Scout Association’s new initiatives that will bring changes to the structure and management of Scouting over the next few years. The transformation has already begun in a small way with Executive Committees being rebranded as Trustee Boards and you may notice slight alterations to our usual agenda items. Behind it all, though, the activities and purpose of the District Executive / Trustee Board remains the same: to look after Scouting in Sale. Change is inevitable but it is always reassuring that people are willing to take on new responsibilities to allow us to keep going.

My thanks therefore to all those members who turn up once a month for our regular meetings. Especially to Dave Marsden for taking over the role of secretary from Amy Atherall last year, to Anna Brunt for representing 14th Sale for the last two years as she steps down to be replaced by their new GSL Paul Maggs and to Yasmin Lee who has

4

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

somehow managed to balance her role as our Network leader with studying full-time at university finally completing her degree this year.

As always, special thanks are due to Andy Atherall our District Commissioner who manages to bind Sale and District Scouts together and without whom so many activities throughout the District would just not take place. I am sure I speak for us all when I say that your work is very much appreciated!

Finally, I would like to offer my annual “Thank You” to all the leaders, helpers and volunteer members of Sale and District Scouts. The work you put in every week for the benefit for all our young people remains truly inspiring.

Yours in Scouting

Ian McGeough District Chairman

District Commissioner’s Report

As I reflect on 2022 in what may be my last or possibly penultimate report as DC, I see we have had a very hard and unusual year.

The pandemic might have been over, but the after effects were definitely not. Although young people returned eagerly to face to face scouting, many of our leaders were feeling burnt out due to the pandemic and the challenges of delivering Scouting online. Some did not return and as a District we are still not yet back to full strength, although our numbers of young people are good and the waiting lists more than full. We are seeing new leaders come through, but as always need more.

We couldn’t run the Swimming Gala due to the after effects of the pandemic, nor could we run the Gang Show – restrictions were not lifted early enough to start rehearsals for a full show, and it was not possible to gather enough people and enthusiasm in the timescales needed to run a mini show. The St George’s Day parade was cancelled, due to the Council not being able to respond to any of enquiries on time for running and approving the event – again due to after effects of the pandemic.

Camping did return – albeit with additional risk assessments, and our young people could return to the traditional Scouting activities.

The Remembrance Day parade was exceptionally well attended, with a turnout that everyone could be proud of, and a lot of very positive comments from the public and organisers,

I can’t thank all our Leaders, Executive Committees and helpers enough for the time and effort you all continue to put in to ensure Scouting continues to deliver the fun, activities and excellent programme our young people enjoy. I know how difficult it has been to get motivated and back up to speed again, and you are all special people.

Looking forward, our District faces several challenges that we need to meet if we are to move forward and not lose some essential activities. We have no Young Leader Unit Leader at present, a serious gap as we are unable to deliver the Young Leader training needed for the Young Leader Belt and DofE service. We have no ADC Cubs, despite adverts and approaches to some leaders. Our ADC Scouts is also a GSL and a leader in two other Scout Sections, an impossible workload. 17[th] Sale and 7[th] Sale urgently need to recruit new leaders so that Dave is not needed each week, and Sale Central urgently need a new GSL. We need to free up our ADCs / recruit new ADCs so that idea and program sharing across the groups as well as more district level activities can resume.

6

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

We need to get behind and support the Gang Show – both Scouting and Guiding, with cast members and attending the show. If we do not support the show we will lose it, and once lost it will be difficult to restart.

We need to support the St George’s day parade better – it needs an organising team of 3-4 people, as it’s too much for one person, and people need to reply to comms promptly, as we are dealing with council bureaucracy.

Our biggest challenge is adult recruitment – as well as recruiting to fill our existing leader teams, groups need to have a plan to recruit to open more sections. Only by opening more sections will we address the perennial waiting list issue.

After 5 years as DC, it’s time for a new challenge in Scouting for me, and I’ve given our County Commissioner 12 months’ notice as I don’t want to leave the District without a leader, especially with all the HQ organisational changes coming this year. It’s been a privilege to lead Sale District for 5 years, and it’s time for me to hand over the baton to someone else.

Yours in Scouting

Section Reports

Beaver Section

This year has been a quiet one for Beavers. Mainly due to everyone getting used to the return of face-toface scouting. Personally, this wasn’t as easy as expected.

We have had more requests for places than places to offer as we don’t have enough volunteers and the loss of 9[th] sale has had an impact on our sections.

As so many children wanted places for Beavers especially, and with all the colonies full or nearly full in the district, we had very little choice but to open a new colony. We decided to open a brand-new colony at Sale Central (Woodbourne) our new colony is called Cheetham’s, and we are so pleased to have enrolled 16 into the beaver scout family.

Colonies had plans with their groups for camps after spending time apart and rightly so. Being away for so long 2022 was the year for groups to come back together. Our 1[st] event was the joint County Cub and Beaver camp, the two colonies that attended had a great time. It was also amazing to see so many Beaver blue jumpers in one place. How it should be after so long apart.

Our only district event was the Remembrance Parade. Once again, the turnout from Beavers was fantastic as always.

We would like to say a huge thank you to our Leaders for keeping the colonies running and returning after a very strange couple of years that not only impacted scouting but our personal lives as well. It just shows what truly special people you are.

I hope that now we are settled back into the swing of Scouting we can start to come back together as a District.

Yours in Scouting

Scout Section

I generally make it a rule to keep my District Scout Section Report as upbeat as possible, and there were some very positive outcomes in 2022,

We more or less saw the back of Covid, the two years previous had seen the near destruction of Scouting, I do feel that had we had one more year of lockdown and/or restrictions and Scouting would have struggled to recover.

However, with the dawn of a new year, hope sprang eternal that the buds of normality would continue to blossom and grow, and so they did, young people came back to Scouting in their droves as 2022 lurched forward, sadly the same cannot be said for new Adult volunteers, many had lost interest in Scouting through the Pandemic and unlike the young people, didn’t return, we did manage some welcome recruitment however, though the Scout sections of the District appeared to have benefitted the least.

In general, though, many Leaders who had kept on Scouting throughout the pandemic were now feeling burnt out, after nearly two years of reinventing Scouting, online in the first instance and socially distanced thereafter, they were now having to re-learn “normal”.

Once again, our annual swimming gala sank, it was again curtains for Gang show as rehearsals had been unable to take place in a safe environment, one crumb of comfort was that the districts twice postponed expedition to KISC was given an amber light to go ahead in August. Training camps were resumed for Scouts and Explorers.

Our St Georges Day Parade was sadly crossed off but at least some Troops were pitching the concept of running camps again. The pre-pandemic lull in District Scout events was very much still evident, I believe that most Leaders, throughout the district were still being cautious and reluctant to camp whilst minor restrictions were still in place.

Those camps that did go ahead were welcomed by the young people involved and by many Adults too. The district expedition to KISC now had the green light though logistical costs had increased due to the UK’s departure from the EU, the Expedition Unit was the grateful benefactor of a large van to courier all our Kit to Switzerland and back courtesy of the Edam Group (Thank You). Eight Scouts, 16 Explorers and Six Leaders made the 10-day Expedition to the permanent mini jamboree in the heart of the magnificent Swiss Alps.

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

Scouting resumed in September but was swiftly stunned by the death of our Patron, H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II, just a few short month after we had celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, Scouting lost far more than a monarch on that day.

The final District event of the year was an unusually warm Remembrance Day Parade and was supported well by the Scout Section (as indeed it was by all Sections).

2022 was a very strange year for Sale & District Scouts, to those leaders who fought fatigue and kept Scouting together, the only thing that grows faster than your increasing paperwork and responsibility is your generosity, your spirit, and the gratitude of our members. Thank You.

Explorer Scouts

MacAlpine Explorer Scout Unit

Recruitment

Numbers saw an increase of 7 on the previous year (including 3 Bronze Explorers joining in late Jan/early Feb) to a total of 36, thus equalling our high point of 2018/2019.

This is the final year of a “missing cohort”, dating from Lockdown in 2020 which saw all our Bronze cohort drop out. This year’s zero cohort is Gold-2, meaning next year we will return to four cohorts (Bronze, Silver, Gold-1, Gold-2).

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
2022 13 12 0 4 29
2023 13 11 12 0 36

*Gold is a two-year programme

Having achieved gender parity in 2021, we continue to maintain it, with 55.5% of the Unit currently being made up of females:

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

We have stopped recording statistics on the proportion of our Explorers who come from our sponsoring group (7[th] Sale) and the proportion of Explorers coming to us without any Scouting experience, as these figures are now consistently very low and in proportion to what we would expect.

Activities

We began 2022 hoping to return to our usual Winter Camp venue (Cornel) in January. However, the rapid spread of the Covid Omicron variant caused us to have to call off the camp at two weeks’ notice. We therefore replaced it with a one-day Winter Hike for all Explorers, which turned out to be a great success.

We were, however, able to return to normal conditions for our Expeditions. The Easter vacation saw DofE Practice Expeditions for 5 Expedition Teams: two at Bronze, two at Silver and one at Gold levels. And then the 5 teams then completed their DofE Qualifying Expeditions in the Summer.

The Gold Qualifier was, as usual, the highlight of the year. The 2022 Gold Explorers were joined by 3 members of Network, who were former MacAlpine Explorers denied their Qualifier opportunity previously because of Covid, to make up Team Echo which successfully completed the five-day expedition.

In September we said a proper goodbye to our former Explorers, Sam Gresty, Dan Manders-Ratcliffe and Ellie Colquhoun-Lynn as well as to our Gold-2 Explorers Sam Hughes and Amy Besant-Roberts. We also gave out our Explorer of the Year Awards for 2022: Sophie Gott (Bronze), Cerys McGrath (Silver) and Sam Hughes (Gold). Three of our Explorers (Ben Kinnear, Sophie Gott and Melody Yarwood) attended the International Jamboree.

Recruitment in the Autumn saw us with 13 new Bronze Explorers. We entered the John Bradbury Competitive Hike at Gradbach the third weekend of September, the first time this had been held since 2019. We entered one team which came a commendable 5[th] in the competition. There was also a return to some limited fundraising activities in 2022.

Awards

MacAlpine was founded primarily to run the DofE programme for 14–18-year-olds, and the Scouting equivalents (although very few Explorers choose to do these).

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

13

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

2018 12 3 3 18
2019 7 / 1 = 8 5 0 13
2020 9 9 0 18
2021 0 / 1 = 1 2 1 4
2022 17 3 3 23
TOTALS 64 34 7 106

The year before (2021) had seen a sharp dip in the total number of awards achieved (4), due to Covid’s impact on completion rates. But most of our Explorers did not give up, they simply took longer to complete. This is evidenced in the figures for 2022 (especially at Bronze level), with the Unit achieving its highest total number of awards in a single year (23). The total number of awards since MacAlpine’s founding in 2013 has now passed the 100 mark, a testimony to the hard work of our Explorers over the years.

Leadership Team

The regular Leadership Team running Explorer Nights each week consists of Martin Bull, Chris Lee, Mark Sheppard and Chris Hoyle.

Beyond them, we have three Expedition Support members: Assistant Explorer Scout Leaders Mike Counsell and Simon Thompson as well as occasional volunteer, Dennis Downey (appointed in 2022). In the team overall, we have 5 trained DofE Expedition Supervisors and two trained DofE Assessors (one to Bronze & Silver levels and one to Bronze, Silver & Gold levels).

We also continue to draw on the support of an Expeditions secretary responsible for DofE uploads (Mandi Sturmey) and a MacAlpine seamstress (Gillian Gallois).

And we have continued to benefit from the occasional support of three former Explorers (Sam Gresty, Charlie Ludlow and Kate Hoyle) who are in Network.

Despite the size of the above team, we continue to feel stretched and could do with 1-2 more regular leaders. Expeditions and camps continue to depend on a significant number of one-off parental volunteers who make up Expedition Supervision Teams and/or help with transport.

Wyvern Explorer Scout Unit

Members. Wyvern has 27 Registered members. Leaders. We have 5 Leaders.

Wyvern meets at 3[rd] Ashton on a Monday evening during term time 7.45-9.30pm. Our subscriptions are £144 per year payable monthly, and we will keep it at this amount for another 12 Months.

We operate a scouting based program aimed at giving our young people the best chance and opportunity to achieve many rewards during the time they will spend with us. All our members are working towards the chief scout platinum award, some are nearly there, others still have work to do.

We encourage from the age of 16 to consider the king scout award.

We actively encourage the young leader scheme of which we have a few members who volunteer at other sections across the district.

Last year some of our members took part in the long awaited Kandersteg jamboree and from the feedback I received it was a roaring success and well worth the wait. Staying with 2022 Wyvern attended the Goodwood weekender at Dunham.

Our program is a varied mix of scouting activities.

These are just some of the activities from 2022/23 and going forward members have asked us to look at engineering, so we are in the process making pedal karts. Upcoming events, we are attending 3[rd] Ashtons family camp.

We will also be doing a parent evening towards the end of term and another camp will be planned for September., venue to yet be decided.

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

This year for the first time we will be offering our members the option of doing a planned expedition during the summer break.

This is in the early planning stage however hopefully there will be enough interest. Yours in Scouting

Hive Explorer Scout Unit

It's my pleasure to present to you the annual report of our Explorer Scout Unit for the year 2022-23. As the Section Leader, I am pleased to report that our Hive Explorers unit has had a fantastic year of growth and achievement.

In September 2022, we opened the Hive Explorers Unit, which became the third unit of our district. Since then, we have recruited 4 leaders and 17 explorers who have all shown great enthusiasm and dedication towards the Scout movement. I am proud to say that all 17 explorers are on their way to achieving the Platinum Award.

One of the first tasks we set for our new unit was to design a neckerchief and group logo. After some creative brainstorming, the explorers came up with a design that was truly unique. We then ordered the neckerchiefs and group logo to be added to our new group hoodies, caps, and beanies. The result was fantastic, and we are proud to wear them at all our events.

During the year, our Hive Explorers attended three camps, which were all a huge success. Firstly, we went to Scare fest at Bibby’s Farm, where our group won the Best Photo Award. Next, we participated in the Goodwood Weekender, where our team won the Tug of War final, which was an amazing accomplishment against older units. Lastly, we attended a 24-hour camp where the explorers had to map read, navigate and camp overnight without any adult help. This camp was a true test of their teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills, and I am pleased to say that they passed with flying colours.

Hive also attended the Remembrance Day and St. Georges Day parades. I would like to add that our unit was honoured to be a part of these parades and were thrilled to represent our district. The explorers showed great enthusiasm and pride as they marched alongside their fellow scouts and displayed their commitment to the scouting movement. It was an excellent opportunity for us to come together and showcase our values to the wider community.

Out of the 17 explorers, 15 are currently working through their Bronze or Silver Duke of Edinburgh award. We are excited to see them progress and achieve their goals in the near future.

I am thrilled with the progress and achievements of our Explorers this year. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the leaders and explorers for their hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm towards the Scout movement. Together we have accomplished so much, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for our group.

Debbie Shelton.

We have a fantastic group of Explorers who enjoy each other's company and work together really well. I have been impressed with their camp skills, especially how well they coped with the 24hr hike and camp in freezing conditions. Really enjoyed their karate session too, they all followed instructions and got stuck in. Also, learning about food banks made them, as well as the leaders, more aware of the difficulties and struggles faced by some families in today's society.

Mark Cunningham.

I am so proud of the progress that Hive has made in our first year. We have such a welcoming, inclusive community and the explorers have learned so much, as have the leaders! I'm looking forward to another year of progress and growth and I can't wait to see how much more we can all achieve.

Zohra Butt.

This Explorer unit came together as either strangers or acquaintances to each other, but each have welcomed one another with kindness, and they have managed to foster strong bonds of friendship over the year. They really enjoy seeing one another every week and I am forever impressed by their resilience when camping, and their endless creativity - for example when we tasked the group to teach one another a new skill. I was humbled by the empathy they showed towards those less fortunate than them by giving so freely to the local food bank. I am so proud to be a leader in the HIVE Explorer Unit.

Thank you.

Yours in Scouting,

Network

Last year has been a slow but progressing time for Joule Network. Over the past year we welcomed

some more new Network members moving up from Explorers’ group. Joule Network met up for Sale and District’s Remembrance Sunday service. It was a very special moment for Joule as members wore full Network uniform and Scouts Necker to pay our respect together at the Remembrance Service.

During late 2022 and early 2023, Network members were busy balancing between individual commitment and scouting. Majority of Network members including myself either started their first year or in-completion of their final year of university. We did plan and organized a few events, keeping them as close as possible to Scouting and allowing the opportunity for members to take a little break from our intense university work. Activities covered:

Although it has been a challenging and quiet year for Network, Network is growing steadily. We are hoping to do a big reunion over the summer holiday with the return of many Network members coming home from being away after their graduation ceremonies and exams.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy Atherall & the Sale and District Exec Committee for guiding me during my temporary stand-in role in Network Leader. I would also like to thank Martin Bull and MacAlpine ESU for lending us a space for Joule Network to be able to meet up indoor at a Scouting venue.

Finally, I want to give a special mention to all Joule Network members for their help and attendance to make all activities happen. I hope Joule will continue to grow into a strongly established Scouting unit that allows Explorer and young adults to continue their Scouting journey, learning valuable life skills together into adulthood.

Youth Commissioner’s Report

Sale and District Scouts had another great turnout at Remembrance Sunday service in front of Sale Town Hall. I was very proud of Sale and District Scouts’ attendance; it was lovely to see many familiar faces at the event along with the public’s support during the parade.

During the past year, we also had some exciting development to Sale and District Scouting sections. With the opening of a new Explorer Scouts Unit: Hive ESU. This is a great addition to Sale and District Scouts with a total of three Explorers Units for Young people to choose from.

I am delighted that Sale and District Scouts had the opportunity to organise the Gang Show and St. George’s day which both events ran smoothly. In particularly, I would like to mention the return of Sale and District’s St. George’s Day parade after Covid times. I was delighted to join this special event as the District Youth Commissioner to renew my promise along with all the Scouts helpers, leaders, young people and parents.

During this past busy academic year with my final year studies at university, I was on hiatus for scouting. Approaching my transition from graduating from university to job hunting, I am excited to return to Scouting to meet familiar and new young people, young leaders, Scouts leaders & helpers in Sale & District Scouts.

I would like to thank Andy Atherall, Sale and District Exec Committee, and all the support and guidance from the District to support my role as District Youth Commissioner

Sale Scout and Guide Gang Show

Unfortunately, the Gang Show Report for 2022 is extremely brief...

Last year, I shared with you the plans for our Summer Show 2022. The production team and committee had planned to organise a much smaller scale show. COVID meant February was too soon, so we looked at a short rehearsal period and a ‘one night only’ performance in the summertime.

The committee worked hard to drive interest amongst the cast and promoted this across our social media pages continuously. However, despite our best efforts and hard work behind the scenes, we were simply not able to move forward with our plans. We decided to focus our efforts on a bigger and better return to Sale Waterside in 2023.

We are once again expanding our Production team and hoping to welcome new members for future shows. We are still on the lookout for a pianist and choreographer, if there are any young musicians/dance students who are looking for some experience. This would be a perfect opportunity to share your knowledge and skills.

To keep updated, please follow out Facebook page: @salegangshow.

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 band reconvened in January 2022 and the good news was we hadn’t lost anyone during our enforced break. Onwards and upwards, we were invited to play at the District AGM in May 2022, so a playlist was created, and practise begun.

After another successful performance at last year’s District AGM, we held our final band workshop at 3[rd] Ashton Cubs.

But don’t panic as we have re-vamped our community interactions – more later.

In the July we were invited to play at St Michael’s Flixton Summer Fair and teamed up with members of the Flixton Community Band to entertain one and all.

After the summer break we were invited to play at Dunham Scout Camp for the Greater Manchester West County AGM.

We played twice before Christmas in 2022, first for the Guides and their Annual Christmas Carol Service and then for our hosts 3[rd] Ashton for their Group Service.

Into 2023 and we welcomed new members into our Band and began rehearsing for the return of the Gang Show! This year’s theme tied in with The Oscars, so we picked out some award-winning pieces and played them to a video back drop. Another first for the band.

We were invited to the 3[rd] Ashton Scouts to launch our new ‘band night’ whereby we join with the musicians within the section and play along with them. No instruments are excluded which saw a band of more than 25 playing Sweet Caroline including a violin, cello, multiple French horns, keyboards, and guitars.

The standout moment for me was when the cellist announced how delighted he was to play the actual melody line!

And finally, to our last gig before the AGM and what a great day we had.

St Georges Day Parade in Worthington Park where it was our turn to lead the parade. Another new member lined up to keep the beat and did a great job.

From this performance we have gained another 3 members who are busy learning everything they need to know about our marching band.

This summer we are off to Northampton Carnival to join forces with the Northampton Scout Band. See next year’s report for a full review!

My thanks go to all the Band Members, our adult Leaders; Sarah, Sally, Mandy, Emily & William; and Joe for his Gang Show editing skills. Thanks to Andrea for looking after the pennies, the rest of the Band Committee for their support and to the parents for helping out when asked.

Special thanks to Harry and the team at 3[rd] Ashton for hosting us every week.

We are a District Band and would love to see new members join us – if you have any musicians in your Group send them along.

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

26

14[th] Sale HQ, 7:30pm, 15[th] June 2023

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.
