## **Chairman’s Report July 2018**
It is my privilege to present to you, my ninth report, as Chair of the 25[th] Leicester (Queniborough) Scout Group.
As ever, the AGM presents the opportunity to look back over the past year before looking forward and sharing with you, the parents and supporters, some of our plans for the future.
Inevitably, the past year’s activities have once again been impacted on by the pandemic but despite that the Group has continued to function and indeed grow.
Once again, the past year has been a very encouraging one for the Group and I am very pleased to report that our numbers continue to exceed 50 young people.
More importantly, our new scout hall has been taken into use (April 2021) and whilst there are still a few things to finish off, it is proving very popular with members. In addition, we are pleased to be able to offer use of the hall to other community groups for use on a regular basis or for individual one-off events.
The income generated from such hire will be invested in the facilities going forward to ensure that the building is always fit for purpose and never again falls to the standard of our old building!
During 2022, we will install air source heat pumps for the main hall (providing planning permission is granted). These are energy efficient and environmentally friendly heaters which reduce our carbon footprint and build on the positive impact of our now high levels of insulation and LED lighting.
Also, as the weather improves, the rear garden will be set to lawn so that during warmer months, sections will be able to use the secure rear garden for outdoor activities.
Longer term, we plan to convert the roof space into a meeting room but, that will require additional fund raising and so it remains on our wish list at this point!!
It would be remiss of me not to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our benefactors both large and small. Without their generosity and support we would not have been able to replace our old hall and had that been the case, the group may have had to move out of the village or cease all together.

Instead, they have enabled us to grow and develop as a group even despite the pandemic and for that, we are very, very grateful.
As we enter 2022 and with the hall up and running, we must turn attention to building resilience into our section leadership teams and management team.
The benefits of scouting are well known and the demand for scouting activities remains very high but, as ever, the challenge for us, and many other groups, is to secure sufficient adult volunteers to meet the demand.
Thankfully, we have a good cadre of qualified leaders supported by parent volunteers but of course we always need more and hence this year’s focus on building resilience.
In closing, may I thank everyone involved in the Queniborough Scout Group during the past year, in whatever capacity, and encourage you all to be a part of the year ahead.
Kind regards
Phil Iley Chair

**Group Name:** 25[th] Leicester (Queniborough) Scout Group **Subject:** Financial accounts for the year 2020/2021
## **Group Chair:** Philip E. Iley
Mob: 07946 689 076
**Group Treasurer:** Jeremy Bromley (new)
Following a change of treasurer, the accounts have been prepared by the above and with the support and guidance of Mr Lewis Sutton, a retired chartered accountant.
Mr Sutton is not a member of the scout group or the registered charity and has only had access to the papers, bank details etc provided to him by the Group Chair.
## **Advice to Group Chair from Mr Sutton:**
1. Reduce bank accounts to a maximum of two to avoid any confusion caused by moving money between accounts.
2. With minimum interest rates there is little value in using an investment account currently.
3. Continue to use the standard accounts template as provided by the national scout executive.
