Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe
the year
charity during As a charity, youth group and community
organisation
we are active within two
key areas: Scouting values and community
engagement.
Over the past year we have finally managed to resume our normal
level of
activities throughout
the year. We were fortunate to be able to run five camps
during the year, with the highlight
being a fantastic weekend for the whole
group at Frylands once again, where much fun was had by all.
Our community
work supporting
local events increased
during the year and
included
providing
BBQservices to the Queens' Jubilee Picnic weekend; the Old
Coulsdon
Village Fair and the Christmas
Light ofOld Coulsdon
(CLOC) for the
turning
on ofthe Christmas
lights.
We also worked
in partnership
with other
local groups to clear the village pond and tend the woodland
in Coulsdon
coppice.
We managed to participate
once again in the Annual
Rotary Christmas
Street
Collections,
which was great fun and raised us a total off2,666 in the year,
f1,428 of which was paid into our bank account
in January 2022 related to
2021.
Finally, we finished our major project to renew the Scout hut ceiling, spending a
further f4,012 in 2022 for the remainder
of the electrical works. This work was
essential for our continued
enjoyment
ofthe hut and should

good for many years to come. We also spent f2,499on a projector and
accessories for the hut, to assist in running
our varied scouting programmes.
