OFFICIAL Scouts 1st Copmanthorpe AGM 8th December 2021

A few words from our Executive Committee

This was a challenging year as we managed the effects of Covid. As I looked back on the year to March 2021 it emphasised what an unusual year it was, very few activities to highlight with events, camps, St Georges Day parade and even the Remembrance Day ceremony cancelled.

What I want to highlight is the resilience of the scout group – in this difficult period the team rose to the challenge, constructing the parachute to facilitate outdoor sessions when we could not meet indoors and even moving to online Zoom meetings during lockdown.

As a group we are in a strong place to rebound from the pandemic, we continue to benefit from a strong leadership team and are fortunate that we are in a solid financial position.

Over the year we were busy maintaining and replacing our facilities.

We purchased our new minibus which is a fantastic achievement for the group. This was purchased through donations from local businesses, charities and help from the parish and district council. As a group I would like to thank all these organisations for their kind donations and our team who ran events and wrote to the companies, explaining how their funds would help our young people learn lifelong skills.

In the scout hut we had the electrics tested and upgraded to current standards. At the same time, we replaced the lighting with new energy efficient units and took the opportunity to paint the ceiling and walls.

Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank all the leaders, helpers, exec committee members, parents and young members that make the scout group the success that it has become.

In next year’s report I hope to highlight events which evidence our return to a more normal year!
