members, with 3 (5) leaders; Cubs 16 (26) with 5 (2) leaders, and Beavers sadly had to be suspended owing to leader
constraints in September 2022, so there were no Beavers as at Jan 2023
We continued to make progress in Training through the year with all leaders being compliant with Mandatory training
with the exception of 1st Response which has been a major challenge during Covid restrictions.
All 3 sections operated through the year with varied and interesting programmes providing fun adventure and learning
to all.
Beavers pursued a varied programme until owing to new work commitments in September 22 our long serving Beaver
leader had to step down. Efforts to find new leadership for the section have proved very difficult – volunteering post-
Covid generally seen as very challenging.
Cubs also enjoyed a very varied and active programme during the year and 1 cub achieved Chief Scout’s silver award,
7 Challenge badges were awarded and many achieved the Chef and Fire safety activity badges (the latter following a
visit to Godalming Fire Station.
In the Scout section, 3 secured Chief Scouts Gold award in the year, and many were awarded other Challenge badges
– in total 54 Challenge badges were awarded in the calendar year and many Activity badges were also completed
including Circus Skills, Craft, Entertainer and Hobbies.
For the first time in many years in June 2022 we had a Group Camp at Garners Field and 33 young people attended (7
Beavers, 12 Cubs, 13 Scouts and 1 YL). A wide variety of activities were enjoyed in particular using the climbing wall
for climbing and abseiling. 6 leaders attended full time and 3 part time – a great group event which also considerably
strengthened cross-group relationships.
2022 once again was a very busy year offering a huge range of activities to young people in the local area. Thanks to
all the section leaders – and the regular helpers who make it all happen so brilliantly for our young people, and to the
Executive committee who do so much to make it all happen behind the scenes.
