Group Scout Leader Report – Trevor Yeoman
I have been in the role of Group Scout Leader / Lead Volunteer for over 5 years, the group had been through a lot of change and we con#nued to grow, this was recognised by the County team with a cer#ficate being presented to me at this year’s leadership conference. The whole mantra of “secure and stabilise” is something that I will con#nue to adhere to so that we always grow and build on great founda#ons. This of course needs everyone in the group to play their part, a challenge that the group rises to everyday! Without the help of our volunteers, supporters and parents we would not be able to con#nue to do the things we do. A massive thank you! There is a new chief scout – Dwayne fields (FRGS)
Building and facili#es
We have greatly enjoyed the warmth and less echo noise that the new hea#ng and hall roof has given us. This has meant we have been able to run sleepovers from the building.
Growth
In 2023 we were back up to 89 young people across all 4 sec#ons. In 2024 we have 101 young people!
Beavers: 29 Cubs: 24 Wednesday Scouts: 27 Thursday Scouts: 21
One of the key areas that enables growth is adult volunteers, we just need more! Can you help?
Recruitment
The only way we can carry on as we are and con#nue to deliver great fun and ac#vi#es is with more volunteers. As I have already men#oned, I won’t grow the group un#l we have that firm founda#on and due to some volunteers having to move on or can only help occasionally due to work and life, we are currently some#mes fall short of what we need on volunteer numbers some weeks.
Can you help? Or do you know any family or friends locally that could get involved? We don’t expect all of our volunteers to put on a uniform or become fully trained leaders but don’t let me stop you of course! If you can sign up as a Sec#onal Assistant and don’t mind going through the DBS process and a very small amount of training, then you can come and help as oien as you can. You will personally get LOADS out of Scouts! Did you know that it’s possible to get a recognised qualifica#on in project management by helping out at Scouts…
Remembrance Day Walk
A big thank you to everyone that were able to aRend last year's Remembrance Day Walk with Buckshaw Village church. It’s great to be among our community and it was very much appreciated by all that aRended. We will be again be taking part in this event again this November.
St. George’s Day parade
Again, another big thank you for all of our sec#ons and leaders that aRended to support our group and the District, we were all very smart and gave a great account of ourselves.
Achievements
Congratula#ons to:
· Kate Anscombe for achieving her Chief Scout’s Commenda#on for Good Service award for her several roles on our board of trustees
And all our young people that have been awarded their top awards in the form of the Chief Scout Award scheme.
The Future:
Looking into the future... The plan is to have more fun and more adventures with hopefully loads more adult volunteers joining in with the fun.
Squirrels
We need volunteers to consider star#ng this new sec#on. Come and talk to us if you want to help run a new sec#on for 4 to 6 year olds!
Explorers
I am hoping to start talks with Chorley District about the possibility of star#ng an Explorer Unit at our hut for 14 to 18 year olds. I firmly believe that our Scouts would prefer to carry on Scou#ng where they were with Scouts. I also believe this will encourage more of our Scouts to become young leaders across our sec#ons and hopefully they will want to carry on as adult leaders once they get to their 18th birthday. This needs to come from county level.

Cubs – Sarah Yeoman
We currently have 24 Cubs in the pack, 4 leaders (including myself -and our GSL Trevor), and one young leader.
We have been really busy this year taking part in a wide variety of ac#vi#es including adventurous and exci#ng ac#vi#es. These ac#vi#es have included:
Rifle Shoo#ng, Axe Throwing, Raiing, Shelter Building, Pioneering, Fire Ligh#ng, Map Reading, Knife Axe & Saw, Backwoods Cooking, Fish guwng, Astronomy, Photography & Videography, Cooking, Crai and making Art installa#ons, Hikes, LiRer Picking, and of course we’ve also played lots of games.
We’ve also been out and about and had various visitors. Last September we had a visit from Sambafrique who taught us drumming and dancing. We took part in the annual Buckshaw Village Remembrance Day Walk. We had a visit from Tacklers Tales to help us celebrate Lancashire Day, and we were even treated to our own Town Crier and one of Cubs recited a proclama#on. In December we went on a visit to Chorley Theatre to watch the Pantomime. In March we had some visitors come in to show us how to knit and 2 of our Scouts helped out showing the Cubs how to
weave and make pompoms. In May we helped out with Chorley in Bloom, readying the beds for plan#ng and generally #dying the area outside the old Law Courts. In June went pond dipping in Cuerden Valley Park.
As a result of all this ac#vity I’ve awarded a grand total of 427 badges. I apologise to all those who have had to sew them on to the uniforms!
These 311 badges have been made up of….
11 Chief Scout Silver Awards – The highest award that a cub scout can achieve.
39 Challenge Badges – Cubs need to complete 7 Challenge Badges (as well as complete 3 nights on camp) to achieve their Silvers.
125 Ac#vity Badges
115 Staged Badges
With the remainder being badges such as joining in, sixer and seconder etc.
We’ve had 9 nights away on camps so far. We started the year with a District sleepover at the Deep in Hully. In November we our first Sleepover in the Hut which was Tech camp where we focused on the Digital Ci#zen Badge. In January we had another Sleepover with this one being Space themed. In March we joined up with our Scouts for Mission Impossible camp at Bispham Hall. In June we camped with the Scouts at Linnet Clough for our Survival Camp with the winning group being awarded the Kahzi Trophy. In July, for our last camp of the year, we joined up with St Mary’s for our Medieval Camp at Bibbys Farm.
We are looking again at the trip to Wales which was put on hold due to covid
So, to sum up, our cubs have been extremely busy having a great #me full of Fun, Challenge and Adventure and there is much more to come. I’d like to thank all our parents for their help and dedica#on in bringing the Cubs each week, for helping out when we need extra pairs of eyes/ hands, for sewing on all the badges. I’d also like to thank them for the con#nued support to ensure our Cubs have a great #me.
Scouts
Wednesday troop – Pete
The last year has been a busy year in the form of growth in the troop. The troop started off with approx. 5 members but has now grown to 27!
We have enjoyed some great camps at Linnet Clough joining in with the Cubs for some of their programme. We have also taken part in the local Buckshaw Village Remembrance Walk.
Helping with Chorley in bloom was one of the highlights of the year which the scouts thoroughly enjoyed
Next year we are hoping to get more camps planned and other events and for this young troop to con#nue the journey to achieve their Chief Scout Gold awards.
Thursday Troop (The original Buckshaw Village Scout Group) – Sue Brocken
Our troop has also had a busy year working towards the Chief Scouts Gold award. Congratula#ons goes to the 5 Scouts that gained their Chief Scouts Gold awards this year! This is the top award in Scouts and takes a lot of effort to achieve, again, well done!
Thursday’s Troop is now at 21 Scouts and is supported by 3 young leaders that were previously our Scouts and have since moved on to Explorers. It’s fantas#c when our young people want to come back and support our sec#ons!
Along with the Wednesday troop, we have also taken part in the local Buckshaw Village Remembrance Walk.
We have also enjoyed camping at Waddecar for the County Scout camp. More camps to come!
394 badges were issued this past year
We are planning a greenfield camp
A parent’s rota has been set up by Claire Salters to help with the lack of leaders. The lack of volunteers is stopping us from growing the group
On the 11[th] October there will be chocolate bingo to help raise funds for the trip to Croa#a in 2025
Treasurers 2023 Report – Compiled 02-02-2024 by Steven Cliford
During 2023 we witnessed the successful amalgama#on of 1st Euxton ROF Scout Group and Buckshaw Village Scout Group to become the new Buckshaw-ROF Scout Group. Although not totally seamless, the process threw up far less problems than at first an#cipated, the main ones being the adop#on of new payment methods for services such as Gas, Electricity, Water, Ground Rent, Insurance (Building and People), Business Rates and Security. Our group was also fortunate, thanks to the support of our membership by cas#ng their vote, to secure a £25,000 community grant from Laurus Homes towards the improvement of the Scout Building infrastructure. Our building now benefits from a fantas#c two zone gas central hea#ng system, insula#on in the roof space above the main ac#vity hall, improved ligh#ng throughout the whole building and hot water in the toilets and kitchen. A further grant of £500 from Euxton Parish Council helped towards upgrading the electrical system and carpark security ligh#ng touring them up to current specifica#on. All of the work done has been cer#fied and signed off with the appropriate documenta#on, which is now held in a compliance file for anyone to inspect by arrangement.
All of our sec#ons are growing as a result of the changes and the unwavering dedica#on of our very professional leaders and supporters, so much so that we now have wai#ng lists at all levels. I would go as far as sugges#ng that we are probably the most successful and progressive group within Chorley District and high in the ranking with West Lancs Area Scouts. Thank you to Trustees, Leaders, Supporters and Parents, not forgewng of course, the young people for who this facility exists.
So down to money and what we had coming in, what we sent out and what is lei in the bank! The balance sheet aRached is for the period 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023 and it reflects every single penny that passed through our system, it also reflects our ac#vity and the healthy state of our bank account.
Our total income for the year, including all grants, subscrip#ons, fundraising, refunds, account interest and ac#vity contribu#ons is. £50,824.91
Our total expenditure for the year including development work, capita#on, insurance, bank fees, camp and ac#vity fees, uniform, guest speakers, charity dona#ons, business rates, ground rent, electricity, gas, water, fire ex#nguisher contract, building work and skips, etc is £49,558.77
Profit for the year is £1266.14
Our CAF Bank balance at 31st December 2023 is £19,513.62 + £889.59 EQUALS Bank Total Balance is £20,403.21
EQUALS Bank is the prepaid debit card system that we employ to give one leader in each sec#on the financial independence required to run a sec#on without the restraint of funding sec#on purchases from their own cash/debit/credit reserves. The group bank account, CAF Charity Bank, is used to fund the EQUALS Bank which then services the debit cards held by leaders and some trustees. The maximum “top-up” without permission is £100.00p, larger amount by arrangement can be released for payments 1 such as camp food or similar one off expenses, The benefits of the system are the provision of a rolling track of all spends and a totally cashless financial organisa#on. EQUALS Overview Each individual EQUALS card is subject to scru#ny when an applica#ons is made for a top-up from reserves, a maximum top-up limit of £100.00 for sec#on programme running is what was agreed when the system was introduced and accounted for under the heading of Programme. However, in circumstances where parents are making a contribu#on over and above the weekly subscrip#ons, for example, addi#onal payments via OSM towards Camp Fees, external payments for ac#vi#es or guest speakers, the card holder can apply to the Trustees for addi#onal funds to be used in the interim period un#l parent payments are received. Again, such payments are monitored and their use is included in the financial audit at year end. It must also be remembered that in a group of 30+ Cubs, Beavers or Scouts, £100 can soon be swallowed up on resources for even the most basic ac#vity when it is a division per young person, leader, assistants and young leaders.
The prepaid card system has been very successful in providing a service that did away with individual volunteers having to spend from their own pocket and then claim back in arrears. It has also provided instant access to funds (subject to the card limit) 24/7 plus an online/phone top-up request func#on supported by any one of two trustees who are able to remotely approve and sanc#on requests that exceed the base line £100.
The majority of sec#on funding is for the resources required for the day to day running of each sec#on within the confines of the Scout Building however, at #mes that a sec#on is running an external camp, trip or similar ac#vity, the cardholder can request funds that will allow them to pay for such things as Camp Food, Ac#vity Equipment and/or External Themed Visits that support the groups programme. Addi#onal parent contribu#ons help to broaden the horizons of the young people and support the group, which in turn helps to develop the group and secure it as a progressive ac#vity centre for young people. I should men#on at this point that parent contribu#ons are just that, they help us to provide a wide and varied programme for all sec#ons and are no way intended to “boost” group funds. Each camp and event is carefully costed before being adver#sed, the parent contribu#on ensures that the event can go ahead at a price that represents best value for money without touching the funds required to maintain our store of camping, ac#vity and programme equipment, which is are highest running cost.
Our accounts have been independently audited and found to be true and correct but, recommenda#ons have been made that would provide greater transparency by breaking down further the spend of each sec#on into categories such as: mee#ng resources, treats, ac#vi#es and guest, camps and trips. This would help to highlight high spends on mul#ple cards for one event, especially around camps when there could be a trustee and a leader both providing support via individual cards to a common end. This will be addressed over the coming year. A copy of this transcript along with a copy of our audited accounts and the GSLs statement will be submiRed to the chari#es commission for their approval.
