**29TH ODIHAM (PONDTAIL) SCOUT GROUP** 

## **AGM GROUP AND SECTIONS REPORTS 2024 – PRESENTED MAY 2025** 

## **Pondtail Squirrels Review 2024 – Anna Burns** 

27 children were members of Pondtail Squirrels during 2024, with an average of 16 children in the drey at any one time.  16 new members were invested during the year and 16 had moved on to Beavers by the end of December. 

Badges awarded: 18 Chief Scouts Acorn badges were awarded, 63 Challenge Awards, 155 Activity badges (12 different types), 18 Hikes badges (between levels 1 – 5), 1 Nights Away (earned for attending the Family Camp), 11 blanket badges (Canal & River Trust Explorers Badge) and 3 Squirrels celebrated 1 year of Joining In.  Including the 3 investiture badges each Squirrel receives (Hampshire/District, Membership, Pondtail Name tape), Squirrels earned on average 13 badges each over the course of the year 

As well as running sessions with seasonal themes: Pancake Day, Founders Day, Mother’s Day, World Book Day, Easter, St George’s Day, DUG Day (Dad’s Uncles Grandads), Autumnal crafts, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day and Christmas and incorporating Scouting core skills such as orienteering, how to put up a tent, fire safety, campfire songs and making s’mores, other skills learnt were Lego construction, cooking, origami boat building and kite making. We got out and about for some hikes around Fleet Pond, Quetta Park and Zebon Copse.  We learnt about road safety and helping our community by litter picking along the high street and we enjoyed playing on the wooden obstacle courses at Zebon Copse and Calthorpe Park as well as the play park at Oakley being a firm local favourite. 

Particular highlights organised through contacts of volunteers, included a behind the scenes tour of Waitrose where we got to see where goods are delivered and stored.  To help with our Super Chef badge, the staff provided a selection of exotic fruit for the Squirrels to try and at the end of the session they were able to shop for items for donation to the Food Bank.  We visited Fleet Fire Station where the Squirrels got to try on uniform, climb aboard the fire engines and squirt hoses.  We also visited Blackbushe Airport for a sit in a light aircraft and a fire engine, squirted hoses again and climbed to the top of the Control Tower for a bird’s eye view as planes landed.  We enjoyed a relaxing session for our Feel Good badge with a visit from a children’s yoga instructor. 

Working together with Squirrels and leaders at 100th Elvetham Heath Squirrels we had a weekend Sports Party at Tomlinscote School in Frimley which involved team ball games, climbing on gym apparatus and a bouncy castle.  It ended with drinks, snacks and cake.  We were one of 5 dreys across Odiham and Blackwater Valley who participated in the second annual joint Teddy Bear’s Picnic family event during August. 

We celebrated Pondtail Squirrels turning one year old on 17th April.  We have been grateful to be supported by 2 Young Leaders throughout the year – both continued to stay on for several months beyond the minimum 3 or 6 month requirement for their Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award badges.  At the end of 2024 we said goodbye to 4 key volunteers as their Squirrels move on to Beaver, but were joined by 3 new volunteers, one of whom signed up as a uniformed member to start off 2025. 

## **Eagle Beavers – Colony report 2024 – Megan Cookson** 

Another year has flown-by and it’s been 12 months jam-packed with Beavering fun for the Eagles. 

We began in the hut with sessions on Team Building and getting our new Beavers to work together. As the term progressed, the Eagles got an opportunity to get outside, flip some pancakes, cook around the campfire and look at community impact. The Beavers ended the term with an enjoyable Easter Egg Hunt. 

As the Summer Term began, the Eagles started on a Pirates / Nautical themed term with Nautical Wide Games, Nautical First Aid, Nautical Music Sessions, Summer Solstice, Boat Building and Racing and a Bug Hunt with the team at Fleet Pond Society. They also got more than just their feet wet Kayaking on the waters of Horseshoe Lake. The summer term also saw the opportunity for Eagle Beavers to take part in the First Group Family Camp where they tackled lots of adventurous activities and had fun with friends and family. This marked the end of the Scouting journey for Duck and Squirrel who we wish well. 

After a well-deserved summer break, we were back at it for the Autumn Term with a joint programme between Eagles and Hawks. The Beavers got to know each other better than before with get to know me Bingo, Magic Hike, a visit to Scoop in Fleet where the Beavers learnt all about Fair Trade and sustainability. 



The Eagle Beavers were then fortunate enough to have a visit from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance volunteer where they learnt all about what to do in an emergency, when they should and shouldn’t call 999, what to do when they call 999 and the important information they will need to help the call handler plus they all got to have a go as being the pilot. It was fair to say it was a great evening all round. 

As we headed into the 2nd half of the Autumn Term the Beavers did their Annual Bonfire Night. They presented themselves in perfect parade fashion for the Remembrance Sunday Parade in Fleet. In a triumphant return to a much-loved tradition, the Eagles closed the term by making Christmas cards and putting on a fantastic Carolling and Campfire Song Session for the residents of a local Fleet care home. As the year ended we said goodbye to 2 of our leaders Ratty and Robin who will be greatly missed. 

Looking at 2024 in numbers, Eagles maintained a full count of 24 young people for the duration of the year. Over the course of the year, we awarded 10 Chief Scouts Bronze Awards, this was up from 8 awarded the previous year. We awarded our Beavers 48 challenge badges and a total of 303 badges across the year. 

After another successful year for Eagle Beavers we are looking forward to seeing what Eagles will get up to next year as the Leadership team changes. 

## **Hawks Review of 2024 – Tim Norman/James Parker** 

For **Spring Term** we started the year with three new starters. Roll call was around 18 YP. The first week back was themed around Birds and was held at the hut. Learning all about the RSPB’s big garden birdwatch, making bird feeders and finding out why all the leaders are named after birds. We also did a log chew over last terms sessions, appointed new lodge leaders and announced last terms winners of the lodge point league table. 

We then progressed on to a music session held by Zoe (aka Robin). Kingfisher and Arthur brought there guitars along for the ride (like father , like son…). 

February started with donutting at Alpine snow sports in Aldershot, now sadly closed. Sad as all the beavers had great fun that night and, after carrying donuts back up the slope several times were extremely worn out! Happy Parents 

The spring term also saw us getting our chefs badge with the help of a special guest (not Gordon Ramsey), Learning some tennis with the new tennis equipment Swan and Kingfisher obtained from the LTA,  and also getting our Builder badge with a great Lego buildng session. Everyone loves Lego especially the leaders. 

The end of the spring term marked a significant change for Hawks Beavers. Our LiC for the last 5 years, Anna (aka Pigeon), would be leaving us. At this point we should make note of the great input Anna has had into this colony and it’s success and we thank her for that. She was moving on to focus on her work with setting up Squirrel Drays across the district. We wish her well. 

**Summer term** saw a period of “restructuring” for the Hawks. More new faces (YP) and new leaders too. We welcomed our new LIC James (aka Goose). Big thank you to Goose for taking on the role.  Also new leader Karen (Magpie) joined the team. Much welcome additions to the Hawk’s. 

The term was also the first attempt at a joint program with the Eagles. Given our restructuring phase the Eagles did much of the session planning throughout the term, our thanks go out to the Eagles team. 

The term saw us getting out and about with Hikes, Wide games and Family Camp. Many beavers getting their first night away under the belt from the latter. We also built (model) viking boats and finished up the term with a glorious evening down at Fleet Pond stream to race them. Well, raced for a bit then just splashed in the river for the rest of the time. All had a great time and it was a great way to end the term. 

The **Autumn Term** was another joint programme with the Eagles with session ideas broadly agreed in line with badge requirements. We had more additions taking roll call to 22 YP. Also another new leader in Hannah (Wren). 

The term saw more hikes, good to get out while you still can. The Chip Shop hike being a firm favourite with the Hawks. We had some “magic cooking” including arm pit fudge, hmmm. A visit by the police in the form of Sergeant Tucker who came with Riot gear and the un-marked car. Great fun seeing the blues and twos out the front of the hut! 



The session before remembrance Sunday was at the hut and noted as campfire and marching practice. Have to say on remembrance Sunday itself we had a good turn out from the Hawks Beavers and their marching (and behaviour) did us proud. 

Other highlights were the trip to the Alexander Observatory , Aldershot. All organised by Karen (Magpie). Great piece of history there and much to learn. 

The term ended with our carol concert performed to parents. Finale being the 12 days of Christmas. I don’t think we will forget one YP singing day 2 as “two testle doves” or another’s singing at a higher pitch than Justin Hawkin’s (The Darkness is the band FYI). 

We might conclude that we end the year re-structured and all set to contribute more and more to the continuing joint programme with the Eagles. Onwards and upwards! 

## **Griffin Cub Report 2024 – Jannette McElarney** 

2024 was another very busy year for Griffin cub pack. 266 badges were awarded of which 10 were Chief Scout Silver awards, the highest a cub can earn. 

We started 2024 with a visit to the pantomime and sending a team of 3 to the County Top trumps competition in Eastleigh. Archie Silk, one of our cubs, was crowned the County Top Trumps Champion! 

Then we began to work towards the scientist and astronomer badges. 

Griffin cubs took part in the district archery competition. 

We cooked pancakes at the beginning of February, made coasters  for Mother’s Day presents and celebrated Chinese New Year. We finished  the spring term with our annual Supercub competition and a night run by the sixers. 

We spent every Wednesday night of the summer term outside doing fishing, rifle shooting, rafting, orienteering, kayaking, fire lighting, tent pitching, cycling, tracking trails and archery.  We hiked over Yateley Common, learnt how to do CPR and other first aid, and went bell ringing at St Michael’s Church in Aldershot. Quite a few of our cubs attended Family Camp at Walton Firs campsite and increased their tally of nights away. Most of the cubs gained their time on the water, paddle sports, nautical skills and water activities badges. 

One of the highlights of the year was our 5 day camp in Bournemouth. We joined in a lot of the camp adventurous activities doing crate stacking, fencing, rock climbing and caving, cooking our lunch on fires, and then on the penultimate day we caught the bus down to the beach and spent the day building sand structures. 

In the autumn term we covered the Communicator badge and parts of the Our skills challenge by learning to sew on a badge or a button, how to iron their neckers and make a cup of tea. 

To support our local community we gave out medals, water and sweets to the runners at the finishing line of the 5k and 10k run, took part in the British Legion Remembrance Parade. 

We finished off the winter term with a visit to the Pinewood Raceway in Wokingham, where we all had a great evening racing cars. 

My thanks to all the Griffin leaders who are such a wonderful team of volunteers. Unfortunately we had to say farewell to Mang as a full time leader at Christmas but he does still help us out occasionally for which we are very grateful.  In November we welcomed 2 young leaders who are working towards their D of E awards and will be with us for a year. 

## **Phoenix Cubs 2024 – Mary Hilditch** 

Phoenix Cubs had up to 28 members each term during 2024. We enjoyed a wide range of activities. Overall, the Cubs gained 270 badges, including 59 Challenge Badges. One Cub gained the Chief Scout Silver Award. 

In the spring term we worked on Communicator badge, cooked pancakes and shared information on hobbies and sports skills. We also did designer icing on cakes and went for a night hike. 

The summer term is a time to get out and about. We started by finding out more about our local area. We went bellringing in Aldershot and explored Odiham Castle along the canal. The Cubs tried metal detecting and learnt about 



some of the items which have been found locally.  Some Cubs were able to try rafting and everyone had a go at kayaking, archery and shooting. There was also time for wide games and tracking in the woods and country park. 



In the summer holidays we went to camp for 3 nights, staying in a tented village. The weather was wet at times, but the activities included abseiling, crate stacking and other high-rope activities. The Cubs cooked a meal on a wood fire, tried fencing (with swords), pedal go karts, den building and had a campfire with skits and singing. It was a great experience at a Scout Adventures site. 

We returned in September and made bamboo structures. Then we worked on Safety in the Home badge. We learnt about food, customs and ceremonies from other countries with the help of Cub parents and leaders with connections abroad. Towards the end of term we put on a small show for the parents and for our final meeting of the year we went slot car racing. 

## **Scouts Report 2024 – Megan Cookson** 

The Scouts began the year with a Games Night in the hut before putting their Map Skills into good use and their Pioneer Skills to the test with Broom Handle Pioneering. As the evenings got a bit lighter the Scouts took on Fire Lighting and Cooking in patrols, Wide Games and competing in the District Incident Hike along with an overnight Greenfield Camp and helping at the Fleet Half Marathon Water Station. 

The Summer term began with some Wide Games. Some of the Scouts helped at the Heatherside Colour Run which was a great event to be involved in. The Scouts joined the District for the St Georges Day Hike. They worked in patrols to put up patrol tents ahead of camp, Orienteering, Night Hike and polishing up on their Knife, Axe and Saw work. Scouts enjoyed the Family Camp where they made memories with friends and family. They then enjoyed  a water based evening. The term concluded with the Annual 3-week rotation which this year consisted of Archery, Kayaking and Raft building. 

This year’s Summer Camp saw the Scouts packing their bags and heading to Essex for a multitude of activates including chariot races, a visit to a theme park with fish and chips on the beach, kayaking, abseiling, high ropes, archery, axe throwing, coracles, water slides, survival skills, shooting, wide games, talent show, disco, tie dye, glass etching, witling, cooking on open fires and lots more. It was fair to say that the Scouts and leaders were tired but had a great 8 days camping. 

The autumn term kicked off with the Scouts focusing on certain aspects of their Skills badge and being set the fitness challenge to work on over the next 6 weeks. Scouts enjoyed a Chip Hike, Wide Games, an evening where they tackled as many Squirrel badges as they could in one session and a night hike all before half term. Over half term the fun did not stop with Scouts helping at the Poppy House to House collections and the Fleet 5/10 Km finish line. After ½ term Scouts looked at the second half of their Skills badge, part 1 of their Snow Sports badge, Backwoods Cooking and taking part in the Fleet Remembrance Parade. The Patrol leaders took the reins for a night where they ran their own sessions. The Scouts planned and cooked in their Annual Cooking Competition, this year the theme was International. It was fair to say that the Scouts can cook up some wonderful meals. The term ended with the Scouts hitting the slopes for part 2 of their Snow Sports badge where they tackled Skiing. 

Scouts have maintained a steady number of about 30 throughout the year with 2 Scouts earning their Chief Scout Gold award. We awarded 18 Challenge badges and a grand total of 177 badges were handed out during the year. 

I would like to thank all of the Scout leaders for their continued hard work and dedication to Scouts which gives our young people these great opportunities. 

## **Group Review 2024 – Rob Shrubsall** 

Growth continued in the group– finishing the year with nearly 200 members (young people and adults). We are fortunate to have large teams in almost all sections, lightening the load on all others enabling our adult volunteers to balance home, work and volunteering aspects of their lives. As many colleagues will attest too, it is all to easy to get absorbed in the excitement of Scouting, that occasionally we forget that our own wellbeing, that of our families, our work should all come before volunteering. 

Our waiting list steadily replenishes year-in year out despite changes in cohort sizes across Hart, with sufficient young people to warrant setting up another Squirrel Drey - unfortunately we do not have the leaders, nor has anyone come forward to volunteer to help run it!  I am open to have my mind changed if new volunteers were to come forward. 

Training continued apace, with essential. First Response training being completed on time across the group. In addition to mandatory ongoing learning around Safety, Safeguarding and programme delivery, there was also rafting, archery, rifle-shooting and nights away training courses attended. 



We pro-actively improved our safety assessment, particularly around adventurous activities such as paddle sports. This put us in excellent standing when we received an anonymous complaint from a parent that was investigated by the District Lead Volunteer. We always remind parents to speak to Section Leads if they have any concerns about the nature of activities as soon as possible after events. 

Investment in equipment continued – barrels, wooden pole and an almost endless supply of blue polypropylene rope; plus necessary Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs), paddles and helmets enabled the team to delivery 12 separate traditional rafting sessions on the Basingstoke Canal. 

And maintaining our facilities (both hut and outside) space continues to be undertaken by our project team – small bite-size, but very resourceful projects ensure the security of the fabric and safety of occupants. 

We hope to build on these successes, maintain reasonably full sections and extend the specialist skills of our leaders and instructors so we can offer the broadest selection of activities in 2025; and possible family/group camp in 2026. 

I would like to thank all adult volunteers those that joined and remained with us, plus those that we sadly said goodbye to throughout the year. You are ALL amazing. We are always in need of additional volunteer to help us to offer more, whilst doing less individually. Let me know whether programme delivery, maintenance and projects or governance is your cup-of-tea. We couldn’t do it without you.
