MAJOR ACTNITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE YEAR
2022123 financial year saw the final Ilftlng of all Covid restrictions, enabling us to offer the full range of scouting activities -
always with safety at the forefront of our minds (induding Risk Assessment for all activities, especially away from our usual
meeting place).
Our Census number in January 2023 stood at 80 youth members, well up from the figure of 71 In January 2022, and
comparing well to Scouting nationally, which has seen a ￿eadY increase since covid.
Our year has again been jam-packed. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have all enjoyed an exciting programm8 of activities, none
of which would have been possible without the efforts of our volunteer leaders, who enable us to offer scouting of high
quality in Stokenchurch. Kim Tucker continues running of an excellent Beaver Colony, Natalie Dell coordinates a very
aff8Ctive team running Cub Scouts, and Mike Russell provides a very fvll and active programme for the Scouts.
The scouts held their Iroop summer camp in Ireland, taking advantage of a full range of activities available close to their
campsite at Larch Hill, just outside Dublin. There w8rè also local weekend campslday activities and a night spent on HMS
Belfast. Summer 2023 will see the scouts attending an intemational jamboree in Sweden, with a short stopover in
Copenhagen on the way home. Cubs held a camp at Paccar, and Beavers had sleepovers at our HQ.
We must express our thanks to thè Trustees of Stokenchurch Scout & Gulde HQ, for providing such an excellent bulldlng for
our activities. Jim Casper and Roger Hagon continue as an elected Trustees, representing the Scout Group in the
management of the building and associated chaiity.
We were saddened to hear of the sudden death of our TreaSu￿r. Guy Prin￿, in November 2023. Our thoughts continue to
be with his family. Thanks to Jim Casper. who is managing the accounts in the interim until a new Treasurer is appointed.
Flnances have withstood the impact of the pandemic well. At the end of the year total unrestricted fvnds held by the Group
amounted to £25,641 , up slightly from £21,304 prior year. In addition, £13,212 is hdd in designated funds allocated towards
intemational trips, transport costs and Hardship, and a fvrther £1 ,533 in Restricted Funds for Young Carers camp. Overall
reserves, equal to 1 year of regular expenditure, are in line with the Reserve Policy agreed by the Executive Committee, .
The Group Is a trust established under its rules whlch are common to all Scout Groups.
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation & Rules of The Scout Association.
The accounts have been drawn up on the receipts and payments basis which is consistent with the previous year.
Approved by the Executive Committee as trustees on 14 Marth 2024 and slgned on their behalf by J Casper.
