Group Scout Leader End of Year Report to Trustees and Supporters of Chorlton Scout Group

Firstly, as is custom please let me Thank all of our trustees and supporters for all your support over the past 12 months. 2022 was an exceptional year for us, we delivered an outstanding scouting experience for all of our members and continued to grow. The Group is now one of the largest in the UK, we expect to rank in the top 3 groups size wise in the 2023 census.

The Group has opened new sections, both locally in Chorlton and using a satellite model with sections in Northenden. 435[th] Manchester scouts in Northenden has closed, with them being one of our closest neighbours we have worked with the team in Northenden to expand our administrative and governance functions around the remains of the 435[th] team and have successfully kept provision in Northenden – 2023 will see continued expansion. As part of the Northenden expansion, the form GSL of 435[th] , Barry Hall has joined Chorlton as a Deputy GSL.

2022 saw us host the largest residential experience ever hosted by a single group within our county. Over 500 members and their parents joined us in October for an amazing camp to celebrate our 75[th] Anniversary.

With the continued growth of the group, my role as GSL has become increasingly in depth, as such I have scaled back my district responsibilities and have sought help from the team in Chorlton. As such, the section reports this year are provided by a key volunteer in each of those sections. Additionally the group has now employed 2 paid staff members – volunteering is still vital to the success of CSG, but to ease the burden we have made some back office duties part of paid roles, namely:

Group Administrator – 8hours per week TTO

Group Quartermaster – 12 hours per week all year round

2022 Numbers (as of January 2023):

Youth Members : 419

Adult Members on roll: 82

Total Membership: 501

Section Reports

Squirrels

The Scout Association launched Squirrels in September 2021 and at that time the group’s hedgehogs unit was converted into a Squirrel Drey. Squirrels now operates three Dreys Chorlton Scout Group Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with 72 spaces available across the three. Squirrels has been a huge success at Chorlton Scout Group with 64 young people on our waiting list who are eligible for a position in Squirrels.

We have had several new volunteers join one of the Squirrel Dreys varying in role from Section assistant to Section leader. We have an additional 4 young leader who attend Mondays Squirrels section. We continue to recruit Squirrel volunteers at this time with an interest in additional assistant support on Monday and an additional leader for support on Wednesday (each other section has a minimum of two full section leaders).

Chorlton Scout Group is successful on offering a varied programme with Squirrels that does not have a focus on craft specifically for this age. We have explored cooking/baking skills, STEM skills through Lego Education sets and other experiments, gardening and the natural world skills, learning through animals by a group project of hatching chicken eggs and being visited by a puppy as well as through physical activity and the ever popular den building.

Across the year Squirrels have worked towards and been able to achieve, 11 activity badges, 2 staged badges (emergency aid and Musician) and the 4 challenge badges that launched from Scouts headquarters. In addition to this, Squirrels have had the opportunity to earn the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee badge, a World book day event badge, the IET Lego fun badge, Parliament week 2022 badge, a special Chorlton Scout Group Halloween event badge and a specially designed get moving badge. This was created by the group focussing on Squirrels earning a badge based on Scooter and Bike skills similar to the cycling badge at Beavers level.

Throughout the year Squirrels were able to take part special events and trips consisting of:

Squirrels have also taken to celebrating key events and celebrations throughout the year including Hanukah, Mental Health week, National eye health week, Earth day, St George’s day, Winnie the Pooh day, Chinese New Year and Pancake Day.

Beavers has an expansive waiting list of 71 young people who are eligible age for Beavers.

We continue to actively recruit Beavers volunteers with success on Wednesday Beavers in converting parents into section assistants. In addition, we have 5 young leaders across the three sections.

Sea Scouts

The two Sea Scout troops, Victory and Endeavour, continue to provide a strong varied programme - each troop has over 30 members with 3 residential experiences offered in 2022

In addition to the standard Scout badge work and curriculum, as Sea Scouts, members spend a portion of their time engaging in water sports activities. This is typically over the summer term

The most noticeable achievement this year is the establishment of our paddle sport base at Chorlton Water Park. Thanks to a successful youth investment fund bid of £23,000, we were able to purchase a container, along with a number of Kayaks, Canoes, Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUPS) including a giant 6 person SUP, and a range of safety equipment and accessories. Prior to this, we were dependant on partnering with a commercial water sports provider to support the delivery of the programme. Having our own base provides a sustainable base for us to grow from and will enable the team to develop a paddle sports programme that allows for scouts to progress over the 4 years they spend in scouts

The summer 2022 paddle sports programme included Paddle skills development in all 3 craft; some scout led activity; and water safety, including capsize drills, self-rescues and use of throw lines.

Our plans moving forward are to increase paddle sport taster sessions for Cubs and Beavers; provide opportunities for parent helpers to support paddle sport activities on the water; provide a residential experience that includes water sports activities; provide sessions on moving water for more experienced Scouts; and provide wider water sports activity eg sailing

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves
Reserves Policy
The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient
resources to continue the charitable activities of the group
should income and fundraising activities fall short. The
Group Executive Committee considers that the group
should hold a sum equivalent to 3-6 months running costs,
circa £1800 - £3500.
Quantify and explain any designations The Group held reserves of approximately £51,000 against
this at year end. This is above the level required for operating
Details of any funds materially in deficit expenses. However this can be explained by planned capital
(circumstances plus steps to eliminate) expenditure (equipment purchases) in 2022 and a capitation
bill due to be paid.

Investment Policy (Specimen 1)
(including any fundraising) The Group's Income and Expenditure is relatively small and
as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in
longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The
Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the
investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only
mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout
Association's Short Term Investment Service.
• how expenditure has supported the The Group Executive regularly monitors the levels of bank

obtains maximum value and income from its banking

account that requires a period of notice before funds may be
withdrawn, before doing so the Group Executive considers

Treasurers Report 2022

Financially 2022 was an extremely good year for Chorlton Scout Group with income exceeding expenditure for the year making the group financially strong. Throughout 2022 we have moved over from accounts with HSBC to being with Unity banking, this was a smooth transition occurring 9[th] November 2022 with all direct debits/standing orders transferring easily. All subscriptions are now paid for via standing order via OSM, the same with all events, trips and residential payments being received via OSM. For 2023 the following actions should occur for our finances:

Reserves Policy

The Group's policy is to hold approximately 3-6 months running costs in reserve. Typical group running costs in 2018 pcm were: £166 in Building Management - e.g utilities etc, £150pcm in programme expenses, £266pcm for capitation for a total of £582. However, due to the current cost of living crisis it is worth raising this to £1,000 to cover any expenses occurred via additional charges to heating and electricity.

Therefore for the group aims to hold £3,000 - £6,000 in reserves.

Success of Grant Applications

Over the year Chorlton Scout Group has been rather successful at applying for and receiving grants to support in the operating and development of the group. This success totalled over £51,000 of income. Grants that were successful included:
