Chairman’s Report

This report takes in all the governance of 1[st] Helmsley Scout Group to 31[st] March 2023, to which it has been a full and active year across the whole group.

Some executive members have joined us through the year so a warm welcome to Amanda who will be out treasurer and to Lizzie who joins the fundraising team, with these additions I will take an opportunity to say thank you to Fran who has kept the books balancing since the passing of our friend Steve – more on that later, also thanks to Vinnie who is standing down as an exec member, thank you for your support over the last 5 years.

The executive will, from this evening become the Board of Trustees – sounds very grand doesn’t it, however, we’ll still meet in the pub! If you would like to join us, you are very welcome.

The executive has worked very hard to keep scouting at the point of delivery as reasonably priced as possible, given the rises we have seen in our electric, gas and sundries, this hasn’t been easy, a considerable investment has also been made in equipment and training for our volunteers to provide the activities on a weekly basis to our members.

Although our books look very healthy, we are still busy fundraising for our new HQ, and we will consider a reserves policy in the near future to explain why we have the funds we do.

Also in 2023, Girl Guiding UK decided the Scout Hut wasn’t for them anymore, ending a 50-year connection with our sister movement, we wish them well at the schoolrooms, but with this comes the consideration to reduce our waiting lists and open additional scouting sections – if you would be interested, please speak to any of us.

I look forward to the challenge of changing from a executive to a board of trustees, it will provide us with a little more clarity on our responsibilities and financial management of the group, scouting is a movement and this is one of the greatest changes in 20 years.

My thanks especially to the Evans family for their unwavering support for the group and to all the adult volunteers no matter what part they play in the running of the group on a weekly basis.

The closing of the 2022 / 23 year marks a milestone not only for 1[st] Helmsley, but also for myself – a connection with the group hitting 25 years since I joined as a shy? Quiet? Timid? Beaver scout aged 6 – we had grey tracksuits back then too! (luckily we didn’t have camera phones or Facebook)

With this in mind, I’ve re-donned my necker to support the explorers when needed, It is also a pleasure to remember our friend Steve in a suitable manner through the Steve’s Spirit Award, this will be an annual award for the group along the following objectives:

Awarded to an individual Beaver, Cub, Scout, Explorer, Trustee or Adult Volunteer OR a Family connected to the group for showing: Courage in difficulties, a Willingness to Learn, Open Minded and Eagerness to develop themselves (and or) their community.

With this being the first award, I extend a warm welcome to Bev, Steve’s wife in being with us for the presentation this evening.

Thank you for your support, here’s to the next 12 months!

Dean Smith Chairman

1[st] Helmsley Lead Volunteer Report

The 1st Helmsley Scout Group had a successful year in 2022-2023, overcoming challenges from the previous years and running a full program for all sections. This achievement was made possible by the dedication and energy of our volunteer leaders and helpers. We express our heartfelt gratitude to them for their commitment.

Our group consists of 9 Volunteer Team Leaders, 2 Section Team Members, and 2 Young Leaders, providing guidance and support to approximately 70 young people ranging from Beavers to Explorers. We are delighted to officially welcome Nicola (Chil) and Paula (Rusty) to the 1st Helmsley Family. With a strong volunteer leadership team, we have increased the number of leaders with permits to facilitate adventurous activities such as Archery, Air Rifle Shooting, Bush Craft Sessions, and Tomahawk Throwing. We believe in providing every young person in our group with the opportunity to explore and learn these valuable skills.

While our leadership team is strong in all sections, we are currently facing a shortage of leaders, which hinders us from accepting more children into our program. Our waiting lists remain full as we strive to maintain a high-quality program by managing the number of new members. We encourage anyone interested in joining our team to reach out to our leaders or myself to explore the possibilities of making a difference.

We extend our personal thanks to our team of skilled and dedicated volunteer leaders, who have tirelessly provided a regular program of meetings, attended training sessions, organized outings, camps, and activities. Their commitment goes beyond expectations, positively impacting the lives of young people across all four sections.

Throughout the year, our scout group actively engaged in various community events and activities. We had the honour of being the guard of honour at Dean and Catherine's Wedding. Additionally, we organized a Flowerpot Trail in Helmsley and actively supported fundraising for the Ampleforth Playing Field through a Scarecrow Trail and BBQ. Our involvement also extended to the recreation of a 200-year-old mosaic, now proudly displayed in Nawton Memorial Hall. We participated in significant events such as Remembrance Day, the Helmsley Christmas Tree Festival, and Founders Day in local schools. Notably, we took part in our first-ever World-Wide Jamboree on the Trail, fostering a sense of global connection among our scouts.

The Group Executive Committee, now functioning as a trustee board and chaired by Dean Smith, has been instrumental in assisting myself and the group with administrative tasks required by The Scout Association. We warmly welcome Amanda Dickinson as our Treasurer this year. The committee meets approximately five times a year in a pub setting. We are currently seeking additional parents to join us, ensuring that the views of parents with children in each section—Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts—are represented during our discussions. Parents interested in joining the committee are encouraged to reach out to any of our leaders.

I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who provided invaluable support throughout the year, from the district level to leaders across the county. The collaborative effort and dedication of all involved have contributed to our success.

1st Helmsley is a team that fills me with immense pride, from our youngest Beavers to our adult volunteers. We enthusiastically welcome new members to join our team. Opportunities are available in most sections, and no prior experience is required. There is an abundance of fun to be had! By increasing the number of adults in our teams, we can remove constraints on recruitment and allow more young people to share in the joy of scouting. We urge you to consider what you can offer to this fantastic organization that thrives solely on volunteer effort.

Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment and dedication to the 1st Helmsley Scout Group.

Bring on next year!! Fran Evans Group Scout Leader.

I would like to express my gratitude to our dedicated volunteer team, Rachael (Willow), Paula (Rusty), Claire (Maple), and Charlotte (Chip) and to all the parents for their invaluable support throughout the past year.

The Beavers have had an incredibly eventful year filled with exciting experiences and valuable learning opportunities. Here are some of the highlights from their activities in 2022-2023:

  1. Global Explorations: The Beavers had the opportunity to travel to different countries around the world, including China, Italy, and Australia, in collaboration with KMS Beavers. These experiences broadened their horizons and exposed them to different cultures.

  2. Environmental Conservation: Our Beavers actively participated in collecting acorns with the NYMNPA, contributing to nature conservation efforts. Their dedication to preserving the environment is commendable.

  3. Learning about Fair Trade: Louise from the Co-op enlightened the Beavers about the principles and importance of fair trade, empowering them with knowledge on ethical consumerism.

  4. Creative Expression: The Beavers delved into the world of mosaics and discovered the art of creating clay tablets, fostering their artistic abilities and imagination.

  5. First Aid Education: Explorers visited the Beavers, teaching them valuable skills in first aid. This knowledge equips them to assist others in times of need.

  6. Musical Talents: Through the creative use of recycled materials, the Beavers built instruments and showcased their musical talents in performances for parents and caregivers.

  7. Collaborative Learning: Beavers and Cubs joined forces to explore the fascinating world of forensic science, engaging in hands-on activities and collaborative investigations.

  8. Culinary Adventures: From mastering the art of making pancakes and Welsh cakes to conducting exciting experiments in the kitchen, the Beavers embraced the joy of cooking and scientific exploration.

  9. Sharing and Learning: The Beavers actively listened and learned about each other's hobbies and collections, fostering a spirit of curiosity, understanding, and camaraderie.

  10. Water Filter Education: Becca, from NYMNPA Youth Voice, imparted valuable knowledge to the Beavers about water filters, emphasizing the importance of clean water and sustainable practices.

  11. Joint Endeavors: The Beavers from Kirkbymoorside united for memorable shared activities, promoting friendship and teamwork.

  12. Remembrance Day: The Beavers painted poppies to honour Remembrance Day, demonstrating their respect and understanding of historical events.

  13. Group Challenges: Engaging in exciting group challenges, such as building a gingerbread house, encouraged the Beavers' teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity.

  14. Artistic Expression: The Beavers indulged in painting pottery as a heartfelt gesture for Mothering Sunday, showcasing their artistic abilities and appreciation for loved ones.

  15. County Beaver Damboree: Our Beavers participated in the County Beaver Damboree at Askham Bryan College, immersing themselves in a vibrant camping experience filled with adventure and new friendships.

  16. Exploring Public Transport: A day out using public transport allowed the Beavers to navigate the world beyond their usual surroundings, fostering independence and an understanding of public services.

The enthusiasm and eagerness to learn exhibited by our Beavers throughout the year have been truly inspiring. We are delighted to note that many of them have achieved a range of badges.

We look forward to another exciting year ahead, filled with new adventures and valuable experiences.

5 Beavers moved to Cubs July 2022-June 2023

4 Beavers earned their Bronze Chief Scout Award 2022 - 2023. Well done to them all as this Award takes the best part of 1½ to 2 years to achieve. Well done Oscar S, Rowan B, Oliver F.

It gives us great pleasure to present our annual report for another successful year with the Cubs. We had a wonderful time, filled with exciting activities and memorable experiences. Here are the highlights:

  1. Welcoming New Cubs and Leaders: We warmly welcomed Nicola, our new leader, who quickly earned the nickname "Chil." Our Young Leader, Hannah, became "Woody." We also introduced new Cubs, Jovanni, Andreas, and Faye, to our pack, fostering a sense of camaraderie from the start.

  2. Promises and Remembrance: We all made our new Promise to The King and observed a minute of silence to remember our beloved Queen Elizabeth. It was a solemn moment of reflection and gratitude.

  3. Exploring Helmsley: The Cubs went on a delightful walk around Helmsley, using a map to identify local landmarks such as the Castle, the doctors' office, and the fire station. We also noted the need to include toilets as a stop and removed the school from the list as it was deemed unimportant. Our next adventure will include visits to Coop, Deep Blue, Thomas, and Fat Face.

  4. Building Bird Boxes: The Cubs engaged in a rewarding activity of building bird boxes. These boxes will be hung around the woods, creating inviting homes for beautiful birds. It's a wonderful initiative to foster a love for nature and conservation.

  5. Recreating a Roman Mosaic: The Cubs had an amazing morning recreating a 2000-year-old Roman Mosaic. The finished mosaic will be proudly displayed at Nawton Memorial Hall, showcasing their creativity and historical appreciation.

  6. Hallowscream Night: In the spirit of Halloween, the Cubs got crafty and created spooky decorations for a frightful "Hallowscream" night in the woods. It was a thrilling and imaginative experience for everyone involved.

  7. Remembrance Sunday: The Cubs painted poppies as part of the remembrance display and parade on Remembrance Sunday. This activity helped instill a sense of respect and understanding for the significance of this important day.

  8. Christmas Festivities: The Cubs visited the church to see the beautifully decorated Christmas tree they helped adorn. They also had the opportunity to vote for their favorite tree, adding to the festive spirit.

  9. Burns Night Celebrations: The Cubs took part in a series of Scottish activities to commemorate Burns Night. They engaged in the sheaf toss and Haggis jumping, while also enjoying traditional Scottish delicacies like Cullen skink, Irn Bru, Tunnock snacks, and shortbread.

  10. Global Issues and Homelessness Experience: Woody led a session on global issues, where the Cubs learned about different charities and their causes. To deepen their understanding of homelessness after a natural disaster, we sent them into the car park with only a newspaper, allowing them to experience the challenges firsthand. It was a powerful learning experience for all.

  11. Forensic Science and Pancake Making: Both Beavers and Cubs had an exciting evening learning about forensic science and CSI. They had the opportunity to explore their unique fingerprints and also practiced making pancakes, adding a culinary flair to their activities.

  12. Howl Wood Adventures: It was a joyous occasion when we returned to Howl Wood. We also congratulate Abigail, Dom, and Tristan on earning their silver chief award. The Cubs planted an apple tree in honour of the coronation and created time capsules to bury next to the tree. Additionally, they planted pumpkins, creating a pumpkin patch for Halloween excitement.

  13. Silver Award Achievements: A special mention and congratulations to Charlie and James on achieving their Silver Award. Their dedication and hard work are truly commendable.

Lastly, we express our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed and supported us throughout the term.

2023 has been a busy year in which the Scouts have built on our strong foundation of skills, teamwork, and discipline that we created last year following lockdown. Our group size increased from 16 to 18 young people, with Bear and Skip providing support. There has been good regular attendance from the young people, and we have seen a slow but noticeable improvement in uniform compliance and self-discipline. Leaders have updated their basic training and attended additional training in Outdoor Skills (Bear), and Archery (Bear and Skip). Thanks to extra volunteers in the other sections Bear has been able to focus his support on the Scout Section more this year.

We started the year during the summer holidays with a one-night camp in which we built an outdoor pizza oven at Howl Woods, thanks to Bear who had attended a course to learn this skill. In September we did a couple of sessions on tree identification which completed the Forrester Activity badge for most of the group, thanks to Ben from The National Park for his support.

Whilst we were still able to use Howl Woods we did a night of Pioneering in which the young people built a trestle bridge. We did more Pioneering during the summer term including more bridge building (A frame) and a fun night of chariot building and racing with the Explorers. The young people learned square lashing and tourniquet lashing as well as a few knots as well as how to coil and store a rope. Recently we have progressed with the Pioneer badge by learning the skills of splicing and cord whipping (I say we, because Bear and Skip have had to learn it in order to teach it, thanks to Skip’s Mum). This badge will be completed at the start of next term (or during the holidays if the Scouts work on their knots at home). Our final session at Howl Woods was a joint Halloween night with Cubs of spooky team work, fun and games, with ghost stories round the campfire by Dracula (Bear). During the winter the Scouts met at the hut, and enjoyed several nights of cooking as well as a bushtucker trial night. We did shooting practice, then had a competition night at Malton Gun Club, thanks for their support. Most of the Scouts earned their Master at Arms badge. Our last session before Christmas was a fun night of Nerf wars.

We started back in January with several sessions each of Navigation and Emergency Aid, in preparation for a Mini Expedition we had planned for mid-February. However due to a family bereavement this was postponed at short notice. We did the activity in June, unfortunately it was not well attended but the 4 Scouts who did the hike worked very well together and proved their ability to navigate independently. We hope to offer this activity again soon for others to catch up their skills. We did a catch up session of safe use of Knife, Axe and Saw, and then a session of axe carving. In which the Scouts each made a mallet. After the Easter break we were able to use Howl Woods again, so in addition to the Pioneering mentioned above, we also did some outdoor air rifle shooting, cut and split wood ready for our next campfire, cooked using Trangia’s and back packing gas stoves. We prepared for and attended Link Camp at Scampston in which we joined up with 1 st Kirkbymoorside Scouts again, thanks to Amy Wood (Kaa) and Darren Leaming for their help. Bear and Skip provide Air Rifle shooting for the camp again this year. Our final two sessions of this term are a session of Bike maintenance with The Bike Doctor, and a ride at Sutton Bank.

In addition to all this, the Scouts attended District St Georges Day activity, District Swimming Gala, Group Panto night, Jambowlree, Jamboree on the Trail (with 1 st Kirkbymoorside), and Remembrance Parade and Service. It’s no wonder we have given out so many badges this year 214 in total, including 15 Challenge badges, 22 Activity badges, 66 Staged badges, 111 Occasional badges.

Many thanks to Bear who stepped up during my bereavement and during the months since, when I’ve had to spend a lot of extra time supporting my Mum. As always, thanks to Fran for her continued support and encouragement, and to the Exec committee for making it all possible.

We are looking forward to next year, when we will introduce Archery, and following training we will reintroduce tomahawk throwing into the programme. We will push on towards the Challenge badges, and the Gold Chief Scout award for those in the older half of the group.

The Vulcan (unit) has been flying for over 18 months now and continues to go from strength to strength. We now have 11 members, all of whom attend on a weekly basis.

Highlights of what the Explorers have been up to include:

The explorers have joined 1st Helmsley in activities such as:

Five Explorers were on the service team at Link camp, and we helped the NYMNP plant trees in Bilsdale. We celebrated our 1st Birthday in November with a party and went to Ryedale school to watch their production of Oliver! We painted the outside of the Scout hut and continue to run a monthly bingo night. Nine Explorers completed Module A of the Young Leader Scheme.

The Explorers have taken part in the District Explorer Rounders and wide games competitions, and we won the District Explorer swimming Gala in June! Six of them also took part at Rabbit Run in Lincolnshire in October, which is basically a night hike/orienteering/wide game all rolled into one! We came a very creditable 9th place out of 26 teams.

I would like to thank Fran and everyone else at 1st Helmsley Scout group for their continued support with the Explorers, and especially Dean Smith this year who has stood in as the extra leader when one of us has been unavailable.

FUNDRAISING REPORT 2022/2023

As is always the case December proved to be a very busy month. For fundraising as we once again offered our Christmas Card delivery service. Thank you to the families within the group who helped to make this a success. Moving forward with this, it would be great for everyone to promote this service around Helmsley and the surrounding villages as much as they can as take up numbers were not as good this year. On a more positive note, however, the second weekend in January saw our annual Christmas tree collection service, which again proved very successful. Thank you to our trusty band of tree collectors for you help with this one. If anyone is willing to provide an extra van/trailer for next years collection, please let us know, many hands make light work and it only takes us a few hours to make the collection when we have enough help. Thanks again to Wass Grange Farm for helping us with the disposal of the collected trees.

During the Easter period, we organized a Chocolate raffle that yielded a good profit. I want to extend my thanks to everyone who bought tickets, as your contribution greatly supports our fundraising efforts.

Throughout the year, we have continued to hold our monthly Bingo evenings, which serve as fundraisers for our Explorer Scout Unit. I am immensely grateful to the dedicated group of young people who help me every month with these events. However, we would appreciate more support from the community and families within our Scout group for this venture. I encourage everyone to consider joining us for the Bingo evenings, even if it’s not your usual activity. It’s a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, and we always have a great laugh during the evening.

In June, we successfully served 177 breakfasts, drinks, and cake to bikers and the wider community during the MAG Rally at Duncombe Park. I extend my thanks to all the group members and parents who volunteered their time to assist with this event. We have a number of exciting activities planned for the coming months, look out for details of the Pentathlon we are holding in Duncombe Park in September, if you haven’t already signed your family up there are still some time slots available.

I would like to thank all of the leaders within the 1[st] Helmsley group for their support with these fundraising activities and for Lizzie Dimouli for joining us on the Fundraising team. The entire team hold down jobs (Many of us full time) and have families to look after but still find the time to help this fabulous group provide a positive scouting experience to the young people in our community.

I would urge everyone to think about how they could help us out with this. The more money we can fundraise over the year, the lower the costs are to us all as parents with subs etc. which we massively subsidise. If you don’t want to be involved in the planning, then please consider coming along to our events and supporting them financially or with donations of prizes etc
