## **AGM 2023** ## **GSL Report** Chair, Ladies and gentleman this is my AGM report for the year ending 31 March 2023. The annual membership as at 31[st] Jan 2023 stood at Beaver Scouts 71(69), Cub scouts 108(99), and Scouts 84(81). Giving a total group membership without leaders of 263(249) up about 6%, on last year. We still have a large joining list of over 155(148) of which 137(89) are old enough to join now. We have now recovered our Young People numbers back to pre-covid levels, in fact our waiting list has grown larger than its ever been. We need to grow our Adult team to take the strain off of the existing team and to allow us to plan to open more sections. Please help us if you can, it is great fun. Thanks to all the Section Leaders across the Group for keeping the young people so busy and organising so many great adventures. These leaders are all volunteers, giving up their time to ensure that the young people of our group have an exciting, adventurous and fun time. Thanks to all. We also have a superb band of young leaders - these are people – often ex Scouts – aged 14 – 18 who come along and help. They bring with them lots of energy and enthusiasm and my thanks goes to them. The Group executive committee has met regularly over the last 12 months and, under the chairmanship of Helen, has continued to monitor all aspects of the Group. My thanks to all the executive committee for their continued support and assistance. This year is a jamboree year, a mass gathering of Scouts from around the World that occur every 4 years. This year the Jamboree is in South Korea and, after lots of personal fund raising we have three young people attending the event at the end of the month. This will be a huge adventure for them and I wish them well. This ends my AGM report. ## **1st Woodmancote Scout Group Receipts and Payments Account** **----- Start of picture text -----**
