1[st] Malmesbury (KA) Scout Group 2021 - 2022
Group Scout Leader Report
Despite the challenges of COVID and recruitment and retention, Malmesbury Scout Group had another successful year.
The summer term included some restrictions, for example, a limit of 30 people meeting outdoors, which were largely removed by the autumn term. Attendance fluctuated through-out the year as waves of COVID affected the members.
We maintained the number of members and the waiting list increased. Further refinement of the admissions policy and closer links to the Sections most in demand brought some successes in recruitment and retention
I would like to thank all the Leaders for their continued support, in particular the Section Leaders who are central to making Scouting happen - Matthew Bareham, Carron Waterhouse, Gynnette RangerWalsh, Chris Davis, Lorna Howarth, Robin Atterbury-Thomas and Michelle LeillI want to recognise the work of the Exec – Owain Cole, Caroline Tye, Sarah Webber, Rachel Nuttall and Charlotte Cox – which is unseen by the young people but is vital to the success of the Group.
Chairs Report
I was asked by Angus to take the role of chair to expand the horizon of what the Exec has historically concentrated on, and to start to look at some of the bigger pictures, such as joining in with the Malmesbury community (like Carnival), examining access to Scouting, and examining how to capitalise on our adult volunteers. We have made some progress in this area since November last year, and I hope to continue moving these forward over the next year.
There are many other aspects that the exec has to deal with, and I therefore must thank Charlotte for continuing to prop up the Hall (hopefully not literally), and also to Caroline for acting as treasurer over the last year after a difficult year in finding someone able to take the role. I would also especially like to thank Rachel for her enormous effort over many many years in helping with the finance team. Her contribution over so many years has been incredible, and she will be sorely missed.
I would also like to thank the new members of the exec who have stepped forward to help this year, those of the exec who served with us from last year, and lastly obviously our continuing thanks and praise to the leaders who put such a lot of effort in bringing scouting adventure to our young people.
