**Review of 2024**
## **Mark Trollope - Group Lead Volunteer**
October is not our usual timing for our AGM but for various personal reasons amongst group adult members we had to postpone from our regular summer date. Nonetheless it is an important event we have to have for the official business of the group to be dealt with.
It has been, as ever, a busy year at the 11[th] Finchley. Last summer took the scouts to The Forest of Dean for the main highlight of their year. A lovely campsite on the banks of the River Wye. A great week was had by all with lots of activities organised to make sure all those attending were suitably exhausted each evening!
In April we saw a fantastic turnout for the St. Georges Day Parade from right across the group. We really appreciate everyone making the effort to get the children there in smart uniform!
May took the Beavers and Cubs to Frith Grange for their camp and then the following weekend the Scouts were at Lees Wood for patrol camp. May is very busy for camping!
Group membership stands at around 120 young people across all sections with all those young people getting to enjoy a fantastic variety of activities at either the Scout Hut, Frith Grange or one of the many other places they get to.
As you’ll see from the reports attached all of the sections have had another great year with so much going on!
Our volunteer team is increasing steadily which is key to enabling everything to happen. There is of course ALWAYS room for more help!! So please put your hand up if you feel there is anything you can offer us.
April saw us take delivery of our brand new minibus. After years of fundraising, some generous donations and careful use of group funds we were finally able to go ahead and update one of our minibuses to a modern well specified 17 seat Peugeot.
This gives us two 17 seat vehicles that all leaders (and additional volunteers) are able to drive on their current licences. We are looking to upgrade the older vehicle next year. We are very fortunate as a group to be able to operate two vehicles giving the sections great options for their weekly programmes to get out and about.
Finally, I would just like to say thank you to everyone who are helping us run the 11[th] Finchley Scout group. To all the leaders and others giving up their valuable time and to you, the parents and carers for your continued support.

**7[th] North Finchley Brownies Report**
The Brownies all attended the Brownie holiday at Frith with Brownies from two other local units. The theme was sport, they took part in different sporting activities including yoga, short bowls, the climbing wall and assault course. At the end of the summer term we awarded 4 Gold awards and 1 Silver award and said goodbye to 3 Brownies moving on to Guides.
We currently have spaces for more Brownies aged 7 – 10, as we only have a small number of Brownies.

## **Beavers and Cubs Report**
Unusually we write an annual report but this year we serve you an extended report from June 24 until this month as we were unable to host our annual AGM in the usual fashion due to availability at Frith Grange.
A busy and active 18 months has passed, with all our usual activities in full swing! We’ve continued to play an important part in the life of our District, taking part in most of the events they’ve organised and complete a plethora of awards and challenges both individually and as a section.
The Beavers attended the annual district Badge Afternoon, where everyone joined in enthusiastically and worked towards a range of badges.
For the Cubs, district activities across the year included bowling, chess, Ready-Steady-Cook, quiz and the swimming gala. While there were no winners this year, we were proud to see such great teamwork, effort, and sportsmanship throughout — taking part and having fun together is always what matters most.
Throughout the year, both Beavers and Cubs have worked hard towards a wide range of badges at meetings and at home. We have held a traditional board games evening, impressed with learning circus skills from a trained professional and prepared healthy food such as stir fry and fruit kebabs.
Beavers completed their Space Badge, exploring the planets and the wonders of the night sky, while both Beavers and Cubs learnt about traditions across different faiths and cultures. This included learning about Diwali, making colourful rangoli patterns, and tasting apple and honey as part of our learning about Rosh Hashanah. We continue to be impressed with the additional badge work completed at home each term.
This year’s overnight experiences took part at Air Hop (trampoline park in Enfield) and Frith Grange, where we enjoyed both on-site and off-site activities. At Air Hop children got to bounce till late with their friends and enjoy pizza, a film an aerial ride overhead followed after a little sleep with an early jump! At our annual camp, the Beavers had a great time trying soft archery and zorbing, while the Cubs took part in kayaking and orienteering off site. The weather was kind, and everyone had a fantastic time filled with laughter, learning, and outdoor time in the woods and on the field. We also enjoyed our traditional campfire, complete with songs, sketches, and marshmallow toasting — always a highlight of the weekend!
We held our own bowling competition last year for both the Cub Pack and the Beaver Colony and this year the Cubs have battled it off, with the Beavers to shortly follow after half term.
We have continued to visit the Environmental Centre this year looking at trees and last year pond dipping and learnt about taking care of our environment. We are lucky to have our District campsite so close by and have made great use of it to gain outdoor experiences over the
5
summer months. In addition, outings to the Darlands Nature Reserve strengthened this work and allowed more opportunity to explore nature in North London.
Our chosen charity this year was Noah’s Ark Hospice who came and spoke with the children as part of their World Challenge Award. This was followed up with the Beavers and Cubs completing their Junior Award. We raised over £300 for the charity through our Christmas Fair.
More recently, as with last November, both Beavers and Cubs had a spooktacular time at our Halloween evening, which included traditional fun like apple bobbing and doughnuts on strings, as well as a disco, crafts, and the ever-popular challenge of delving into gunge to find creepy crawlies!
This year, 12 Beavers moved up to Cubs and 14 Year 6 Cubs moved on to Scouts — we wish them all the best as they continue their Scouting journeys and take on exciting new challenges. Year 6 continue to enjoy a bridged and exciting programme to the programme of the younger years, giving them a taste of scouts before they begin their move up. They have visited Lazer Quest and taken part in a tailored Archery programme at Tolmers Scout campsite on Monday evenings.
Our turnout for St George’s Day was once again excellent — thank you for making the effort to attend and represent us so proudly. It was a special occasion too, as many beavers and cubs who completed all their challenge badges were presented with their Bronze and Silver Moving On Awards — well done to everyone!
We’ve also welcomed some wonderful new faces to our leadership and helper team this year. Claire and Victoria have joined our leadership team, and we continue to be supported by our fantastic Explorers, Charlie and Jakob. We’ve also welcomed our newest DofE Year 9 Scout helpers — Nell, Daniel, and Dominik — as well as Lily and Matilda, Gelly and who support us weekly along with Thomas and Elliot who have completed their bronze in 2024 . Thank you all for your time, energy, and enthusiasm.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all our parents. Your support makes everything we do possible. We’re always looking for extra hands to help us deliver our exciting and varied programme — so if you have any time to spare, please come and chat with us. We’d love to have you involved.

## **Scouts Report**
Over the past year, the Scouts have been actively engaged in a variety of meetings and events, creating valuable experiences for all members. Notably, 18 Cubs moved up to Scouts, while 15 Scouts transitioned to Explorers, signifying a successful year of growth and development within the group.
Summer Camp, was the highlight of the year. A week full of adventurous activities including high wires, coasteering and water parks were enjoyed by all. A canoe trip over to Brownsea Island and the opportunity to see the place where the first ever scout camp was held in 1907, was a significant moment for both the Scouts and Leaders.
Throughout the year,
members participated in numerous meetings that included wonderful activities such as local hikes, bowling, game nights, climbing, and creative sessions like spray painting and cooking. The Halloween Night and Christmas Party provided members with opportunities for festive celebration and fun, while various challenges and skills nights enhanced their practical abilities and teamwork.
In terms of our events, we had the Chiltern 20 Hike, in which four groups completed the challenge. The Spring Camp and Whitsun Patrol Camp allowed the Scouts to enjoy time in nature and work on their outdoor skills. Notably, the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh scheme was well received, culminating in successful practice and final hikes. Events such as the Easter Egg Hunt, St George's Day Parade, and water sports were also significant moments of joy and participation.
As the new year approaches, there is plenty to look forward to, including the Summer Camp to the Lake District, which promises an exciting programme. The transition of Cubs to Scouts is another positive aspect, and we hope to see them engage enthusiastically in their new activities.
I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all leaders and parents who have stepped up to help make this year successful. Their dedication and support have been invaluable to the group.
Finally, a thank you to the children for making this year enjoyable for everyone involved. Together, we look forward to another enriching year of scouting with all its adventures and new opportunities.

## **Explorers Report**
This past year has presented a range of challenges for our Explorer group, particularly with a smaller number of members. Despite these challenges, we have seen some notable achievements, including the completion of the Silver Duke of Edinburgh practice hike, with the final expeditions set to be completed in October. Additionally, our summer camp was a significant highlight, offering a chance for bonding and adventure.
The various events we engaged in throughout the year contributed to our programme and allowed our explorers to learn new skills while having fun. The past events included bowling, ice skating, and a Christmas sleepover, all of which provided enjoyable experiences for everyone involved. Other key activities included the Survival Camp, as well as our Silver Duke of Edinburgh practice hike. These experiences not only challenged our explorers physically but also fostered teamwork and resilience.
Our regular meetings also played an essential role in programme planning and skill development. Sessions such as cooking, where our explorers made pizza and pasta, demonstrated their ability to work together and apply what they learned in meaningful ways.
Looking ahead, there is much to anticipate in the coming year. With 15 scouts moving up in September, we are looking forward to growing numbers and an exciting programme that aligns with our goals. The upcoming survival camp and the gold and silver Duke of Edinburgh expeditions will push our explorers to new limits and help them develop their independence. Moreover, our summer camp will take place in the stunning Lake District, promising adventures that will create lasting memories.
