How the charity is constituted - The District is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts.

Trustee selection methods - The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.

Additional governance issues

The District has adopted the constitution set out in POR and is managed by the District Trustee Board, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout District which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.

Section C - Objectives and activities

Summary of the objectives of the charity set out in its governing document:

The Purpose of Scouting - Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

The Scout Method - Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and:

Summary of the main activities in relation to these objectives:

86 explorer scouts are actively engaged in scouting activities.

The District runs a wide variety of events for the benefit of all young people aged 4-14 years who primarily belong to Groups within the District.

The District also supports scouting activities by running the Braggers Wood Activity and Camping Centre, the Christchurch Scout and Guide Band, the Christchurch Scout and Guide Gang Show, the Scout Active Support and the Christchurch Scout Centre.

Public benefit statement - The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.

5

Section D - Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year:

The Explorer Units offer an active scouting programme to 14-17 year olds and also encourages them to train for their Chief Scout Awards and Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and to become young leaders. Our four Explorer Units have all run regular meetings over the past year, with varied programmes which are youth-led, giving our Young People continued benefit from Scouting and learning skills for life. Our Explorer Young leaders have continued to be involved in leadership training and being involved within Group sections across the District.

The Network Unit is for young adults aged between 18 and 25. These are predominately leaders within various sections throughout the District. Network provides them with their own activity programme and support. There has been a small increase in activity in 2023 compared to 2022, including a camp at Braggers Wood in August, and 3 Network members attending the Gilwell Reunion, one of which, having recently turned 18, being invested as an adult member by the Chief Commissioner for England. We plan to increase Network activity further in the coming year.

Braggers Wood Campsite and Activity Centre normally provides camping and activities for Scout and Guide groups from across the UK and internationally as well as for our District. Braggers Wood Activity Campsite has been open all year and has had a very busy year of bookings for residential, camping and activities. We have continued to run archery, rifle shooting and tomahawk throwing sessions, and offer frisbee golf and bouldering.

The Scout and Guide Gang Show offers opportunities for young people to develop their theatrical and musical skills, and gain confidence. The Gang Show put on an amazing show at The Regent Centre in February half term 2023. We had our Gang Show assessment to ensure we were maintaining the appropriate standard, which we passed in all areas.

The Christchurch Scout and Guide Band offers musical opportunities for our District. It has members from cub age upwards. They held regular weekly meetings at the Christchurch Scout Centre. They took part in our St George’s Day parade in Christchurch and the Remembrance Parade at New Milton, and held 2 Band Camps at Braggers Wood.

District has supported our 8 Groups delivering their varied programmes, and organising District events and competitions. We have continued to improve and ensure very good safety and safeguarding compliance across the District, ensuring a culture of understanding the importance of keeping up to date with safety, safeguarding and first response training and implementation. 2023 saw the opening of 3 more Squirrel Dreys across the District, resulting in our youth membership of under 18’s across the Groups increasing, and our Explorer numbers have remained similar. Adult membership across our Groups has increased and we have supported them with this.

6

10 young people and 2 leaders from Christchurch District attended the World Scout Jamboree to South Korea as part of the Dorset County / UK contingent. Our next international trip to Germany was launched, with plans to visit Rieneck Castle, and Aalen in August 2025. District continues to deliver scouting activities to its own units and in support of Groups. Our Duke of Edinburgh / Top Award support team ran recruitment events for Silver and Bronze D of E and have Groups of young people working towards both of these awards.
