Brian Waters and Mark Goodall were also reappointed as Trustees and Steve Dowell was asked to continue as a Co-opted member. During the year a number of events were organised, these included our St Georges day celebrations held at De Montfort University where we again joined by many of our local Civic Dignitaries. A “Survival” camp for our older youth members where they had the chance to learn new skills and earn their Survival Badge. We once again had our very successful Fun Days for our Beaver and Cub sections held at the campsite where they took part in a mix of activities and skills. All through the year there was a programme of Leadership Training for our older youth members to help them develop their Leadership skills. We also had again our “Wake up the Woods” weekend for our older youth members and adults where they had chance to take part in the campsite maintenance preparing the campsite for the coming season. ## **Johns Lee Wood Campsite** The campsite staff have again been busy keeping the site maintenance up to date and carrying out some various improvements improvements. After a visit from our County Commissioner our 10 year plan needed to be revised as she highlighted several areas where she felt we needed to make improvements. With the D.C.`s we have put together a list of jobs which we are working through, some with the team and others which we will need to contract out. The Camper numbers were very encouraging for our first full year after Covid, they were:City Districts 1542, Other Scouts and Guides 1623, Other Youth Groups 492, Education Groups 332, Other Groups 994 Day Visits 1545. The bookings for the coming year are also very strong. The Trustees thanked our Head Warden and the team for all of their hard work. ## Building Fund During the year the Trustees made grants of £3542 to the Groby Scout Group and £6400 to Wigston Scout Group. The fund is now very nearly used up and the decision has been taken to close the fund with any remaining funds going to the campsite.
