1[st]
Welcome to this year’s annual report.
1[St] Henfield Scouts, and all the sec:ons that make up the group, have had another very busy and successful year, and I would like to thank the leaders and the volunteers for all their hard work and support in the planning and delivering of sec:on programmes that enable our young people to experience new challenges and have fun.
This last year has been a period of change within the Scout Associa:on as the governance arrangements were strengthened to meet the Charity Commission’s guidance. As such the 1[st] Henfield Scouts Execu:ve CommiGee transi:oned to a Trustee Board and took on the role of the governance body, so allowing the opera:onal teams, led by our GSL Mark Williams, to focus on the sharp end of scou:ng and working with all our young members.
As the Trustee Board has developed during this year, we have priori:sed making sure we all con:nue to act safely and making sure we provide support to our leaders and volunteers for them to be safe. We push forward into the next year with objec:ves around further enhancing the programmes for all sec:ons, providing more ac:vi:es which young members may not experience otherwise. Also, we’re enhancing the way we collaborate with our fellow Henfield groups, such as schools, football clubs and other community groups so we can support each other’s events. Addi:onally, we have commenced being more vocal about broadcas:ng the fun, enjoyment and learning that Scou:ng brings by launching our new website (please take a look), having more support with our social media, and a developing strategy on how to use film and photos across plaOorms to not only show parents what their children are up to, but also our friends, colleagues and neighbours.
The Trustee Board also has a few spaces open at the moment for people to join who feel they might have some :me for a few evenings a month and we sought nomina:ons to our Trustee Board prior to the AGM and I hope that anyone who wished to nominate themselves had the opportunity to do so. There will be further opportuni:es to join the Board each year, so please think about whether you have skills and exper:se that would be useful to us and if so, please drop me an email, or catch me at the AGM and we can talk about it.
I would like to thank all our old Execu:ve management team, and those that have been involved in the new Trustee Board for their :me and dedica:on to suppor:ng the Group. In par:cular Frazer PaGenden who was a very ac:ve part of both but unfortunately had to step away being Trustee Chair earlier this year due to personal reasons. Addi:onally at the end of March, our financial year, we said goodbye to our Treasurer, Graham Denyer, who has been our treasurer for the last 39 years! Prior to that he had been involved in scou:ng all his life as a scout and helper. We thank both of you very much for all your hard work and dedica:on to the vital roles you have played.
We have some changes as well to the Trustee Board, with our new Treasurer, Gayle Williams, from the beginning of April. Gayle is no stranger to the 1[st] Henfield Scouts having previously been a Beaver leader and very successful scout leader in the Group. Gayle will be spear-heading updates to our financial management of the group and sec:ons easier, quicker, and more transparent to support our leaders in the running of their sec:ons.
Lastly, we have a role change for Emma Oliver-Taylor, who carried out the role of Secretary for the Execu:ve CommiGee and Trustee Board. Following a change by the Scouts Associa:on the Secretary role of the Trustee
Board changes from a role that can vote, to an administra:ve role that s:ll drives the Board forward and gives key support to both opera:onal and governance teams, but no longer partakes in votes. We are very lucky that Emma wishes to con:nue in the role as her support and knowledge has been vital in the success of this last year.
We are s:ll also ac:vely looking for more adult volunteers to work with our sec:ons. We need volunteers to par:cularly support the Monday and Wednesday Scouts but also welcome more volunteers to all groups. These sec:ons have experienced leaders who are able to support new adult volunteers and there is also a brilliant training programme in place if you want to take on a larger role, although your help on an ad-hoc basis is very welcomed.
Volunteering can be an excellent way to boost your mental wellbeing, it’s also a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and I’ve found you might even learn some things about yourself along the way. If you can only help occasionally, that’s okay, we appreciate any :me you can spare. Talk to any of the leaders, or contact me directly if you want to find out more!
