Statement of Purpose
The Harrow District Scout Council exists to assist with the running of Scouting within the London Borough of Harrow in Greater London.
The Council governance is to ensure the correct and safe running of Scouting activities within this area as per the rules and regulations set out by the Scout Association of the United Kingdom.
We endeavour to promote Scouting and to grow the movement reaching out to all young people between the ages of 6 and 25 in the area.
Future Plans
We would like to see all our existing groups operating to their full potential within the area they are based and would like to see new groups created where there is a gap in the Scouting provision.

Welcome from the District Chair
I would like to warmly welcome you to our first AGM of the Harrow District Scout Council where our fabulous annual report is presented. Thank you to all those who have inputted to it and it just shows the level scouting activity Harrow has seen.
The District Trustee Board has met 4 times in the last year amongst other meeting of the various sub committees and to progress all the work that we have been up to. Over the year we have begun to set up the governance of the newly formed Harrow District and supported in our ‘Business As Usual’ Activities to agree subscription levels, discuss how the District would financially support the young people attending the next World Scout Jamboree, set up financial controls and overseen the monies being spent by the District Team. We are pleased to report a comprehensive management of District assets and funds and have been looking our risk management profile and how me manage District risks.
Working closely with the District Commissioner and his team, the Trustee Board has sought to ensure that the District has had smooth and robust governance and I am extremely pleased to see the amount of activity that the team have achieved. From camping to cooking, hiking to badge work – it is great to see a positive spike in take up of quality scouting! What has been particularly of notice to me is how involved we are in the community. Our presence has really
taken off since then new formation of Harrow and, with lots of work from our Mayor’s Scout and the wider team, we continue to be visible in the local community.
One element the trustees are very keen to ensure the support of is ensuring scouting is affordable to all. The newly set up hardship fund ensures that any groups or leaders that have concerns are able to put together a request for funding. I am pleased to report this has been successful in several cases. We have also worked on ensuring the District fleet and equipment is accessible and continue to promote use of our assets such as our DAC and Minibuses.
Lastly, I wish to put on record my thanks to the Trustee Board – the work they have achieved this year has been excellent – and all those involved in Scouting in Harrow.
Very best wishes,
Jennifer Grogan District Chair

District Commissioner’s Report
Well, what a great first year we have had! Recovering from the pandemic has been difficult for all of us, but I am thrilled to report that Scouts in Harrow has continued to thrive. Our membership declared in the 2022 census was 2.7% increase from the year 2021 despite reporting a -17.9% decrease on pre-pandemic levels. Whilst this may seem alarming, we knew that groups and units were still recovering and needed the bulk of 2022 to steady the ship. In addition to this, the new District did rationalise the number of personnel in District roles, as well as groups who sat outside Harrow and those who were on the periphery of scouting. I anticipate, looking at the latest figures supplied by Online Scout Manager, that we are most definitely on the growth path and we continue to do everything we can to support groups in their success.
In May 2021, we decided to create a super District in the borough of Harrow. We know that Scouts work extraordinarily well together and by forming Harrow District, this enabled us to better develop our groups in need and make sure that our groups are better supported. We have since procured development resource from the Regional Development Service and, despite some initial recruitment issues, have managed to positively impact several groups in the District and are currently continuing to work on various project through to the borough.
This year we have been focusing on getting back to basics and providing some stability to Scouts in Harrow. Offering easy to access support from the wider team, whilst ensuring that we communicated effectively across the District. We have also worked on ensuing continuity via our brand, programme and volunteering journey. Earlier this year the Scouts announced BaseCamp ‘22 which was focused on the delivery of our ‘Skills for Life’ strategy that was formed at Summit ’17. This is an exciting transformation journey that focuses on four key elements: Our digital capability; the volunteer experience; volunteer journey; and, a

more engaging learning experience. I am excited to deliver this plan over the coming 18 months as I firmly believe that we will see such positive outputs for everyday scouting.
District Programme had a very strong start in Autumn last year. Having had about a year off traditional scouting, our groups really came together to embrace the new District events that we ran. We started with our Swimming gala as our first event, followed by Remembrance Day, football competition, St Georges Day, District Camp, Archery
courses, and a pioneering course which has resulted in over 1400 Scouts from across Harrow participating at the various events.
We have also come together as leaders at the Founders Day Celebration and the Archery and
Shooting event, which really helped to forge new relationships within our District. We also ran the amazing Ski Trip to Crans Montana in Switzerland – introducing nearly 90 young people into the mountains to experience the delight of skiing! This was a truly amazing experience for them.
Following the recent award for being the most diverse county in the UK, we will be delivering a series of events to celebrate this achievement with all our members. The events will allow young people to come in and get an insight of different faiths (beliefs, festivals, food, arts, crafts, games, etc.) and allow leaders to gain an understanding of different faiths and leave with a useful leader’s pack on how to include different aspects into the termly
programmes to enrich their programme provisions in their own sections. We will be hosting our first event in this series in October, when we celebrate the Diwali Festival with plans in place to celebrate Jewish, Christmas, Eid, and Chinese New Year Celebrations. Over the next 12 months, the Programme team is going to focus on our young people achieving their Chief Scouts Awards across all sections. We are currently mapping the gaps in our programme provision in Harrow to put into place events and experiences that will make it easier for our leaders to help their sections complete their Bronze, Silver, and Gold. To start the roll out of this project, we have now launched termly section leader meetings starting from September 2022.
Over the next 12 months we look forward to even more events for our members to enjoy. We will be hosting our first Scouts Cooking competition, District Archery and Shooting

competition, Beavers Sleepover and a Day Trip, Cubs Wide game, Sleepover, Scouts Water activities competition amongst others. We have appointed Payal Bhatia as ADC Beavers and she will be joining Richard Gross in sharing this role. We continue to look for leaders to join the team to support our Cubs and Scouts Sections.
The programme team stretched far and wide and we would like to particularly thank several volunteers for their help and support: Rob & Sue at the Harrow Scout Active Support Unit, 6th Harrow for running the football competition with a special mention to Helen Warton for taking the lead and organizing it all. Thanks also to Sammy Jackson for all her support from start to finish in delivery of our first District camp (with 650 members attending – Thank you!). Furthermore thanks to Kate Barry, Anne Hayward, Ian Parkinson, Carol Baird, Richard Gross, Graham Franks and Payal Bhatia for always being there to support the District at the different events. A big thank you to Sanjay Chandarana (ACC Programme) for all your help in facilitating the delivery of programme in our new District. Finally, we thank Section leaders and GSLs, for taking the time to bring your young people to the different events and supporting the efforts of the programme team. We look forward to celebrating another successful year in programme.
People and communication have been integral parts of the District over the last year. We have continued our programme to update our branding so it reflects the new District. We have amended all our public-facing communication, websites and social media to reflect the changes and closed down the old District sites. We have also created a Harrow District badge which has been distributed to all members, a new District scarf and newly branded T-shirts and fleeces which are available to members.
Our monthly newsletters are being produced and issued to all members, covering events in the District, updates from Groups and sharing useful information (e.g. how to gain an activity permit, or borrow a minibus). These have been great productions so thank you to all who has contributed to them. We are regularly celebrating our achievements in this way as well as keeping people informed and sharing ideas and the newsletters have

had good feedback on this. We also maintain an internal Facebook page, and public-facing Facebook, Twitter and website. Going forward these will be maintained, and we plan to take a more active role on the public-facing media sites.
Young Leaders
Our Young Leadership is thriving throughout the District – we currently have 146 Young Leaders supporting 13 Groups across a range of sections. One of the aims for 2022/23 is to spread these YLs more consistently so that all Sections and Groups have access to at least one YL. We have trained 60 Young People in the essential Module A over the year and also run two other training courses – one
where 11 YLs completed modules B to E and another 2-hour course to cover module D (Behaviour), which 20 YLs attended. Having completed all their Modules and Missions, 20 Young People have received the top award in the period, the YL Belt. More training courses will be made available in 2022/23, both for YLs and for Adult Leaders to explain how to help make the most of their YLs and at the same time help them achieve all their awards.
Nights Away
The Nights Away calendar has been up and running since January. This provides the Senior Leadership Team with details of all the overnight stays, whether a camp or indoor accommodation, that are being held by Groups and Units in the District, and is populated with some of the details provided in the NAN forms that you all submit before going away. This process is running well and most NAN forms are being submitted with all the required information, with only a few having to be returned for more details to be added. As a District we have really got back to camping in 2022, after camps were put on hold during

the pandemic. So far this year there has been 77 camps and indoor overnight stays run by Groups and Units across the District. This is a really great achievement, as getting away to camp or staying overnight is what Scouting is all about.
To be able to take Young People on overnight stays, whether camping or staying in indoor accommodation a leader needs to gain a Nights Away Permit. There are now 89 Leaders across the District with a Nights Away Permits, versus 83 in January. This is an increase of 6 so far this year. In addition, 9 people who previously held Nights Away Permits have renewed their Permits so far this year.
Nights Away activities are a key part of Scouting and all Groups and Units should be looking to take their Young People away- this is a key priority for us in the coming year. Out of the 27 Groups and 10 Explorer Units in the District, there are 5 Groups and Units without any leaders with a Nights Away Permits, and 11 Groups and Units with only 1 Nights Away Permit holder. A Nights Away activity only needs 1 Permit holder to run it, but ideally a Nights Away activity should have 2 Nights Away Permit holders present. This is therefore a important priority for us into the future.
Badge Secretaries
We have 2 Badge Secretaries in the District who perform a sterling role buying badges in bulk and selling them on to Groups and Units. John Salter covers groups in the West of the District and Helen Guerin cover groups in the East of the District. The District subsidises badges that are bought through the Badge Secretaries so that Groups pay 50% of the list price of the badges. Thank you to John and Helen for their great work selling the badges. Please see the separate report produced by John Salter and Helen Guerin detailing the numbers and values of badges sold this past year at the end of this report.

Activity permits
Activity Permits allow leaders to run Adventurous Activities for their Young People, without having to buy in specialist skills from external companies. These Activity Permits cover a range of Adventurous Activities, such as Waters Sports, Shooting and Archery, Climbing and Hill Walking, etc. We have many leaders in Harrow with Activity Permits, and the number is growing. At the beginning of the year there were 51 and now there are 83 Activity Permits held by leaders across the District. This is an increase of 32
Permits so far this year. Well done to all those Leaders who gained Activity Permits this year, this helps us run a more exciting programme for our Young People.
The team and I have thoroughly enjoyed leading the District over the last year, and have been thrilled to see, and be part of, the fantastic work that our volunteers complete week in week out. Words therefore cannot express how thankful we are, on behalf our parents and young people for all the hours that are put in. Whether that be sweeping up after a messy craft night for the beavers, to washing and drying the camp equipment after taking the explorers out hiking in the mountains!
Wishing all a positive and successful year ahead for scouting in Harrow.
Yours in Scouting,
Tyler Skerton District Commissioner Harrow
And the Senior Leadership Team: Reshma Patel, Alan Sims, Gillan Barnard and Paul Turner.

Jack Petchey Award
As most will know we run the Jack Petchey award scheme in our District. The Jack Petchey Foundation was set up to inspire and motivate young people across London and Essex by providing
exciting projects and programmes for them to get involved in. We also recognise the outstanding achievements of today’s young people by awarding them for their hard work and positive impact in their community. Jack Petchey believes each and every young person should be given the chance to achieve. As he always says; “If you think you can, you can!”
This is an opportunity to award a young person in Scouts or Explorers for an achievement award. This maybe not the best Scout or Explorer in your Group but a young person who has tried their best. We are fortunate that our District each year has been given 60 young person awards and 7 Adult awards which are shared around every Scout Troop and Explorer unit. We encourage every group to put forward young person for an award.
With the award comes £300 for the Troop or Unit and the young person decides what they would like to spend the money on for example an outing, item of equipment or an experience etc. There is also a certificate and Medal given usually at an award ceremony that is held. This hasn’t happened over the last few years due to obvious
reasons but hopefully it will again return in the future. With the adult award there also comes with the possibility to apply for a grant for up to £1000! If you know of a Leader which you feel deserves an award, please speak to us.
Who was Jack Petchey?
Sir Jack is an incredible inspiration to everyone who works at the Foundation. At 95, not only does he come to the office every day, but he does so with positivity and determination to work hard. He was born into a working class family in the East End in 1925, left school at 13 and then joined the Navy in 1943. After leaving the Navy, he began working as a clerk for a solicitor’s firm. Sir Jack is an incredible inspiration to everyone who works at the Foundation. If you would like any further information please speak to Paul Turner (DDC Volunteering)

Badge Secretary Report Badge Report for year-end 31st March 2022
John Salter (JS) & Helen Guerin (HG)
This year the District has seen momentous changes but hopefully pandemic lockdowns are now behind us! It is pointless to make any real comparisons to last year but figures for things like purchases, sales and stock value can be reset for the future. JS dealt with all badge issues (purchases, sales and banking) for the old Harrow & Wealdstone (H&W) District. Pinner & Headstone (P&H) and Stanmore (S) Districts have now been amalgamated into an expanded Harrow District (dropping ‘Wealdstone’). JS is now dealing with purchases & sales for the West side of the District and HG is carrying on with purchases & sales for the East side of the District. Sue Jenkins has been recruited as Badge Treasurer to deal with all money for the badge bank account.
Badge Bank Account: The H&W name has been changed to “Harrow Scout Badges”. Signatories are now: JS, Robert Jenkins and Susan Jenkins. All previous Group accounts (slates) that JS ran have been cleared and his cash float reduced to £7.93 which is held for any sundry things such as postage etc. Copies of all Group invoices are now copied to Susan Jenkins as are stock purchase orders from JS & HG to arrange reimbursement.
Badge Stocks: JS inherited the P&H stock of badges with an estimated value of about £1200, however this included about £200 of now obsolete P&H District badges which have been written down as have about £300 of now obsolete H&W District badges and about £200 of the now obsolete S District badges. These are still available for sale to collectors at negotiated prices. The District Executive have distributed new Harrow District badges to all Groups with the residual stock now held by JS & HG for normal sales.
Trading activity: The trading figures in £ are shown below:
| JS HG Totals |
Purchases | Sales | Subsidy | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3828 | 5424 | 2468 | 2611 | |
| 2269 | 2782 | 1396 | 1200 | |
| 6097 | 8206 | 3864 | 3811 |
Notes:
The end of year stock value includes substantial long-term stock of new Harrow District badges.
JS purchases are far less than sales because of the inherited P&H stock.
The overall subsidy is 47% of total sales as only badges are subject to 50% subsidy.
This year has seen some supply and post issues. We are sorry if you have had to wait a little longer for some of your requirements. There is a vast range of badge types and it is uneconomic to hold significant stock for each one. We try to minimise stock holding, so advance warning of requirements is always appreciated.
Finally, let us not forget that behind every badge sold there is a great deal of work that has been done in the District by leaders and Scouts — so well done and keep on achieving!

Buildings and Estates
There have been a lot of improvements at the District Activity Centre over the last couple of years.
-
✓ Double Glazing has been fitted to all of our buildings. As well as improving the appearance of the DAC, the new improved windows will also stop heat loss and help keep the buildings warm.
-
✓ New improved heating has been fitted into the buildings – the Main Hall, Creswell building and the Walton room.
-
✓ The Walton room has had new cupboards fitted, new worktops, carpet and is used by District for meetings.
-
✓ We have had a ramp fitted by the back door of the Main hall to enable easier access to the building.
-
✓ One of the major changes to the DAC site is that we have CCTV fitted. This gives the site extra protection.
-
✓ I hope that you will have noticed that the road to the DAC has had a makeover. Many thanks to Tyler Skerton for organising this.
Going forward, the next stage is to improve the interior of the buildings.
I would like to thank Ash Martin, Alan Sims, Paul Turner, Anand Tailor, Tyler Skerton, Graham Franks, Jonny Jones and Helen, James and the boys for all the help and support they give me.

Scout Active Support Unit (SASU)
Speaking to members of our District, I have been made aware that not many people know about the Scout Active Support Unit (SASU).
SASU is for anyone over the age of 18 years. It is a way for adults to volunteer time to Scouting in a flexible way that suits them. There is no requirement to have been involved in Scouting before joining. All that is required is a willingness to volunteer some time to support Scouting.
Some of the activities that SASU are involved with are: -
-
Catering at the AGM and Founders Day
-
Running quiz nights for District, Jamboree participants etc. Beavers Fun Day
-
Cubs Game afternoon
-
Scouts sports Day
-
Football Tournament
-
Helping at camps
-
Helping at the Swimming Gala
-
General tidy up at the DAC
-
Christmas get together
-
Day trips out for SASU members
As we are now a bigger District it would be nice if we can get new members to join us - Ex Leaders, Students, Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Guardians, ex members who have left and would like to be involved with Scouting again.
Please spread the word out to your Groups Exec and Parents and feel free to contact me at susan.jenkins@harrowScouts.org.uk if you have any questions.

Total expenditure for the year is approximately £204k. Nearly £26k of this is capital expenditure at the DAC which includes Heating and AC systems, a new kitchen and windows. £31k is day to day running costs of the DAC. Approximately £25k is for development training assistants and support from TSA. The £5.5k District costs include the DC's expenses, costs incurred by other leaders on District duties and District running costs. £8k was transferred over to Brent District that was part of the agreement relating to the closure of Stanmore District.
HSAC expenditure amounted to £62k and the District made a contribution to the WSJ of nearly £7k. At year end, the District is carrying forward cash funds of £165k. Prepayments relate to advance payments for the HSAC ski trip being organised for Easter 2023. Within creditors, advance payments made by participants for the easter 2023 ski trip are included here. Also included is an amount of £81k for invoices yet to be paid for the easter 2022 ski trip.
The District Executive Committee continues to keep the budget and reserves policy under review to make sure that there is a balance between allowing the District to continue operating on a long term basis alongside providing a wide range of programs for all sections and supporting groups where possible.
