North Leeds District Scout Council Trustee Report and Annual Statement of Accounts Year ending 2024/25 

29[th] October 2025 



## **Chair’s Report** 

As we reflect on another year, it is again with gratitude that I present this Chair’s Report for the North Leeds District Scout Council. 

for 2025–26, supported by the groundwork already completed. 

## **Governance and Financial Stewardship** 

The year 2024–25 has been one of steady delivery  and  continued  commitment  from volunteers across North Leeds. While development has been quieter than in previous  years,  the  strength  of  our  core Scouting provision has remained clear, with hundreds of young people taking part in highquality programmes each week. 

## **Membership and Engagement** 

This  year’s  census  shows  a District  that is broadly stable. Total membership stands at **1,928** ,  almost  unchanged  from  last  year. Youth membership saw a small decrease of **12** ,  largely  due  to  reduced  Cub  numbers, though  this  was  balanced  by  growth  in Squirrels, Scouts and Network. Adult membership increased to **441** , strengthening leadership  and  governance  capacity  across our Groups. 

Waiting  lists  reduced  significantly  by **102** , particularly in Beavers and Cubs. Growth in Squirrel Dreys and Young Leader Units reflects renewed  energy in  early years and youth leadership pathways. 

The  Board  remained  stable  throughout  the reporting period, ensuring governance, finance and safety requirements were met. Our financial position remains strong, enabling us to  support  Groups  and  maintain  essential services across the District. 

**After  the  reporting  period** ,  our  Treasurer, **David  Goodall** ,  stepped  down.  We  thank David for his service; stabilising the Board will be  a  key  focus  for  the  year  ahead.  No significant  safeguarding  or  safety  incidents occurred during the year. 

## **Public Benefit and Volunteer Contribution** 

Our activities continue to provide clear public benefit, enabling young people across North Leeds to gain skills for life in a supportive environment. This is only possible thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, who remain the backbone of Scouting in our District. 

## **Looking Ahead** 

As we look to 2025–26, our priorities include: 

- Stabilising the Board, including appointing a new Treasurer 

- Delivering a practical District Strategy 

## **Programme and Events** 

Two major District events in our **Six Dales** and **Frosty Camp** ran safely and successfully thanks  to  the  dedication  of  our  volunteers. Across the District, a number of young people and adults received awards, highlighting the ongoing impact of Scouting in North Leeds. 

## **Wike Campsite** 

Wike continued to serve as a valued space for Groups throughout the year. While there were no  major  developments  in  2024–25,  the Steering Group and volunteers ensured Wike remained functional, safe and welcoming. 

## **Strategic Developments** 

Progress  on  the  District  Strategy  has been slower  than  hoped  as  volunteers  balanced competing demands. This remains a priority 

- Strengthening Group support and communication 

- Increasing volunteer recruitment 

- Supporting continued membership growth,  particularly  in  Squirrels,  Scouts and Network 

These  priorities  will  help  us  build  strong foundations for the future while continuing to deliver high-quality Scouting week in, week out. 

In  closing,  my  sincere  thanks  go  to  our Trustees,  volunteers,  Group  teams,  young people and supporters. Your dedication makes a real difference every day, and it remains a privilege to serve this District. 

Thank you for your continued support. 



Joseph Fletcher
Chair

## **Who We Are & What We Do** 

## **Key achievements** 

- Total membership: 1,928 (–3 / –0.2%) 

North  Leeds  Scouts  supports  hundreds  of young people aged 4–25 across 19 Groups, Explorer Units, Young Leaders and Network. Our  mission  is  to  help  young  people  gain skills  for  life  through  fun,  challenge  and adventure,  while  supporting  volunteers  to deliver great Scouting week after week. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

North Leeds District Scout Council exists to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international  communities.  We  do  this  by providing  Scouting  in  accordance  with  the Purpose,  Values  and  Method  of  The  Scout Association. 

- Youth membership: 1,487 (–12 / –0.8%) 

- Adult volunteers: 441 (+9 / +2.1%) 

- Waiting lists fell significantly by 102 (– 17.7%) 

- Growth in Squirrels (+8), Scouts (+37) and Network (+14) 

- Increased  Young  Leader  participation  (3 Units, up from 1) 

- Successful  District  events:  Six  Dales  & Frosty Camp 

- Youth and adult awards presented across the District 

- Wike continued stable operation 

The  trustees  confirm  they  have  had  due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning the District’s activities and reviewing its achievements. 

## **Our Purpose** 

We  follow  the  Purpose  and  Method  of Scouting  as  set  out  in  The  Scouts’  Policy, Organisation  and  Rules  (POR),  developing young people in physical, intellectual, social and spiritual dimensions. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charities Act 2011 by having due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

Scouting in North Leeds is open to all. Ability to  pay  is  not  a  barrier  to  taking  part,  and financial support is available where needed. 

## **Highlights of the Year** 

The year 2024–25 was one of stability, safe delivery and continued volunteer commitment. 



## **Membership (Census Summary 2025)** 

The 2025 Census provides a detailed picture of Scouting across North Leeds. Overall membership remains broadly stable, with small changes between sections and a positive increase in adult volunteers. Waiting lists reduced significantly this year, reflecting improved local capacity and Group efforts to expand provision where possible. 

## **Youth Membership** 

Total youth membership stands at 1,487, a decrease of 12 (–0.8%) from 2024. While Cubs saw a notable reduction, several other sections experienced sustained or significant growth. 

## **Youth Membership by Section** 

|**Section**|**2025**|**2024**|**Change**|**% Change**|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|Squirrels|32|24|+8|+33.3%|
|Beavers|282|278|+4|+1.4%|
|Cubs|417|483|–66|–13.7%|
|Scouts|514|477|+37|+7.8%|
|Explorers|188|197|–9|–4.6%|
|Network|54|40|+14|+35.0%|



Growth in Squirrels, Scouts and Network demonstrates strengthening engagement in early years, core Scouting, and young adult participation. The reduction in Cubs reflects broader national trends and ongoing pressure on volunteer capacity in some Groups. 

## **Youth Membership – Demographics** 

## **Gender breakdown (Youth)** 

- **Male:** 1,087 

- **Female:** 340 

- **Self-Identify:** 4 

- **Prefer not to say:** 56 

These figures show a broadly consistent demographic profile to last year, with a slight increase in young people choosing not to state a gender identity. 

## **Adult Membership** 

Adult membership increased to **441** , a rise of **9** (+2.1%). 

## **Adult Membership by Role** 

|**Role**|**2025**|**2024**|**Change**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Leadership|349|321|+28|
|Management|18|18|0|
|Support|16|39|–23|
|Governance|58|54|+4|
|District roles|7|12|–5|



Leadership and governance roles saw the strongest growth, supporting operational resilience across the District. 



## **Gender breakdown (Adults)** 

- **Male** : 254 

- **Female** : 182 

- **Self-Identify** : 5 

## **Waiting Lists** 

The total waiting list fell significantly from 575 in 2024 to 473 in 2025 (–102; –17.7%). This is a positive indicator of increased capacity and expanded provision within several Groups. 

## **Waiting List by Section** 

|**Section**|**2025**|**2024**|**Change**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Squirrels|92|100|–8|
|Beavers|170|224|–54|
|Cubs|119|145|–26|
|Scouts|92|100|–8|
|Explorers|0|6|–6|



The  most  significant  improvements  are  in  Beavers  and  Cubs,  which  account  for  80%  of  the reduction. 

The Explorer waiting list reduced to zero due to increased ESU capacity and more effective referral management. 

## **Waiting List Demographics** 

- **Male** : 395 

- **Female** : 114 

- **Prefer not to say / self-identify** : 27 

This reflects trends similar to previous years. 

## **District Administration Overview** 

The structure and size of the District changed only slightly. 

## **Sections and Groups** 

|**Category**|**2025**|**2024**|**Change**|
|---|---|---|---|
|Squirrel Dreys|3|2|+1|
|Beaver Colonies|15|16|–1|
|Cub Packs|19|21|–2|
|Scout Troops|20|20|0|
|Explorer Units|10|10|0|
|Young Leader Units|3|1|+2|
|Total Sections|68|70|–2|
|Groups|19|20|–1|



Increases in early-year provision and Young Leader Units reflect strategic investment in the future volunteer pipeline. Reductions in Beaver and Cub sections are linked to local volunteer pressures, consistent with national challenges. 

## **Summary** 



The 2025 Census presents a District that is stable overall, with encouraging growth in several key areas.  While some sections  experienced  decline,  the  general  trend  shows  improving  capacity, stronger leadership, and widening participation across the age range. 

North Leeds Scouts is well-positioned for 2025–26, particularly with growing early-years provision, increased Young Leader engagement, and a robust core Scout section. 



## **Our Activities & Impact** 

North  Leeds  Scouts  is built  on  the  weekly delivery of a varied programme by our Groups and Units. This is supported by District-run events and volunteer training, which together provide a rich, balanced Scouting experience. 

## **Programme and Events** 

## **This year saw the return and strengthening of key activities:** 

- Six  Dales,  a  long-standing  endurance challenge, was delivered safely with strong youth participation. 

- Frosty  Camp  continued  to  offer  winter camping and outdoor skills in a controlled and safe environment. 

- Groups across the District delivered camps, hikes, sleepovers, community projects and badge programmes throughout the year. 

A  number  of  young  people  completed  top awards  including  the  Chief  Scout  Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, alongside continued participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. 

## **Impact** 

## **Young people across North Leeds benefited from:** 

- Improved confidence and independence 

- Enhanced teamwork and leadership skills 

- Greater awareness of their local community 

- Access to outdoor and adventurous activities 

- Pathways into volunteering and leadership  through  Young  Leaders  and Network 

- Strong volunteer support from the Steering Group 

- Consistent bookings throughout the year 

- Continued use by external partners and local schools 

The foundations laid in previous years ensure the site remains safe, functional and ready for future development once volunteer capacity and funding allow. 

## **Governance** 

North Leeds District Scout Council is governed by the Royal Charter, Bye-Laws and Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) of The Scouts. Our Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring good governance, financial oversight,  safety,  compliance  and  strategic planning for the District. 

Throughout the reporting  period, the Board maintained: 

- Robust financial controls 

- Compliance with safeguarding and safety requirements 

- Oversight of Group governance and risk 

- Management of District assets including Wike 

- Support to volunteers and managers 

Trustee  recruitment  remained  stable  during the year. 

After  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  the Treasurer stepped down, and the Board will prioritise stabilising governance for 2025–26. 

No significant safeguarding or safety incidents occurred  during  the  year.  Risks  relating  to volunteer capacity, finance and site management continue to be monitored. 

## **Trustee Recruitment and Appointment** 

## **Wike Campsite** 

Wike remained an essential asset for North Leeds Scouts, providing camping space, indoor activity areas and a base for outdoor adventures. 

Although there were no major developments this year, the site benefitted from: 

- Regular maintenance and monitoring 

Trustees  are  appointed  in  accordance  with The  Scouts’  Policy,  Organisation  and  Rules (POR), which provides for ex-officio, elected, nominated and co-opted trustees. 

- **Ex-officio trustees** serve by virtue of their appointment  to  certain  roles  within  the District. 

- **Elected trustees** are chosen at the District Scout Council AGM. 



- **Nominated trustees** may be appointed by the District Lead Volunteer. 

- **Co-opted trustees** may be appointed by the Board to fill specific skills needs or vacancies. 

## **Property and Holding Trustees** 

The Scout Association Trust Corporation (TSATC)  acts  as  the  holding  trustee  for property belonging to the District, including Wike Campsite. Operational management of the  site  remains  the  responsibility  of  the District Board of Trustees. 

The charity does not act as a custodian trustee on behalf of any other organisation.

## **Reserves Policy (Summary)** 

The Trustees maintain a Reserves Policy which requires each fund to hold reserves equivalent to its average annual operating costs. This level enables the District to operate for up to one year in the event of significant income disruption or while seeking alternative funding sources. The policy reflects the interconnected nature of Scouting charities across The Scouts and adopts a one-year reserve level rather than the Charity Commission’s general six-month guideline. 

A full Reserves Policy was reviewed and approved by the Board in May 2024 and will be reviewed again in May 2026 ahead of the submission of the 2025/26 Annual Report and Accounts. The table below summarises the reserves position for each fund as at 31 January 2025, together with actions agreed by the Trustees where 

funds are above or below the in-principle reserve level. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the District’s ability to continue as a going concern, nor were any funds materially in deficit at the year-end.
