## **1  st Seer Green Scout Group Trustee Chair Report Year Ended March 31, 2025** 

I am pleased to report that the Scout Group continued to make good progress in the year to March 2025. The team continued to prioritise execution of its vision of a well-equipped, inclusive Scout Group, which is highly capable in core scouting skills. The Scout Group is proud to be at the heart of our local community and has continued to evolve its ability to offer transformative experiences to young people. 

I would like to sincerely thank all the leaders, trustees, officers, volunteers, helpers and parents who have contributed to the success of the Scout Group in the year. The Group depends on all of you to continue to deliver for the young people in our community. The organisation of leaders, volunteers and parent helpers has been more stable in the year.  This is helpful to forward planning and the ability to undertake more challenging activities with confidence. This confidence means we can continue to adapt and ensure the activities offered by the Scouting Group are modern, exciting and relevant.  It has been great to see several new volunteers joining us this year, you are very welcome, and your commitment is deeply valued. 

The Group has now undertaken its Kandersteg trip, an international Scouting adventure offering exceptional experience of other cultures and challenging outdoor activities, safely and to plan. Huge credit goes to all those who gave up their valuable time to make that trip happen. Their rigour and diligence in organising such an ambitious trip is deeply appreciated. Thanks also go to everyone who worked hard to raise funds for the trip through various activities in our village and surrounding area. 

The Group currently has strong and active Explorers, Scouts and Cubs sections with healthy numbers and solid waiting lists. Our Group Lead Volunteers report will cover this in more detail. It remains our ambition to try to restart Beavers if we can secure the right Group of willing leaders and volunteers. 

Financially, our accounts for the year show a surplus of receipts over payments. There is a positive impact from receipts for the Kandersteg trip where expenditure had not yet been made. Yet again our numbers are supported by another outstanding contribution from the beer festival, and I would like to highlight the work of the outstanding Committee who 



make that event happen. The Group had repaid its remaining loan balance to district previously and has continued to invest positively in our facilities and key items of equipment for Scouting. A solid financial position ensures that we can make the important investment needed in our core Scouting offer, maintain our facilities well and build funds towards a future hall when that need arises. Our treasurer will report in more detail on the financial statements at the AGM. 

Thank you to all involved in the Scouting Group. We never take your commitment for granted and it is kind of you to give up your valuable time for Scouting. We are proud of Scouting in Seer Green; our accomplishments are entirely down all of you and your dedication to the young people of our community.
