We always keep in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and engage with the local community whenever we can.
We continue to develop our young members self-confidence, life skills, technical knowhow, adventures and personal
development though the Scouting programme. Many follow the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and work towards the Bronze Silver and Gold Awards offered.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The activities are made fun which provides much laughter within the sections.
The Trustees and Leaders of the group have furthered public benefit by continuing to update the levels of training required. The trustees confirm they have complied with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission of England and Wales.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
It’s been a very difficult year due to Covid 19 restrictions and Sections have not been able to operate the weekly meeting face to face but have adapted very well to the facility of zoom to keep the young members active and engaged to retain our membership.
Leaders have gone above and beyond to deliver activity packs to all members so they can retain and deliver a good programme over zoom calls.
Badges have still been obtained and we reduced the subscriptions by half to assist parents as they struggled with their families through this very tiring and exhausting year.
