In our Group, we run exciting, challenging activities for young people aged 4-14 including outdoor activities, camping etc. We also help them gain useful life skills through working towards a very wide range of badges. They typically meet once per week in the Scout Hut or elsewhere locally, and then attend various other activities, often camping away from home, for between 1 and 7 nights at a time.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

These activities help them develop important life skills, including interpersonal skills, as well as developing new friendships outside the school environment. For most of them, it exposes them to activities that they would be unlikely or unable to access elsewhere, including pioneering, camping, kayaking, power-boating, sailing, tree-felling with axes, firelighting, cooking outdoors, self-supported expeditions, survival skills etc. These activities also mean the young people spend less time on screens and develop better empathetic skills and emotional intelligence.

Section D Achievements and performance

As usual, we ran a diverse, exciting and challenging programme of Summary of the main events across all the sections, plus a number of camps. We managed to achievements of the charity continue a good range of activities and continue to build our membership during the year so that we are now the largest we have ever been and the largest group in the district of Fareham West. We now run a thriving Squirrels section, two Beaver Colonies, two cub packs and two Scout troops, almost all of which are full. We continue to need to recruit new leaders to enable us to deliver the exciting range of activities that our young people so enjoy – this is still by far our biggest challenge.
