Section D                      Achievements and performance 

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

During the year, we continued to ensure that subs payments were coming in on a regular basis, despite us having to go to virtual scouting in light of the Covid 19 pandemic. This also meant that we had cancelled camps, which resulted in the negative numbers for camp incomes where we refunded parents, and also the negative expenditure for refunded deposits. 

We were lucky that we successfully applied for Covid 19 relief grants, without which we would have made a loss of around £7,000. The grants meant that we actually had a surplus despite being unsuccessful in appealing to the council to not increase our rent by a significant amount, something that is now ongoing. 

Our main large expenditures were the repair and cleaning of our old mess tents, as well as the purchase of 2 new ones. We also had some more work done to the hut with some general maintenance and had the front garden turfed. Also, we had to have a boiler installed as the previous one broke. 

Luckily we were able to run section camps in 2021, but were not able to do the family camp due to Covid. Going forward we are mostly back to normal with regards to weekly meetings, with some restrictions on occasion.
