**1  st Seer Green Scout Group Trustee Chair Report Year Ended March 31, 2026** 

I am pleased to report a further year of solid progress in the year ending March 2026. We continued to prioritise executing on our vision of developing a well-equipped and inclusive Scout Group, highly capable in core scouting skills. 

The capability of the Group continued to shine through, winning numerous competitions and awards. Perhaps more importantly, participation levels continue to be very positive. It is excellent to see the Scout Group being embraced by the local community for being relevant and worthwhile. The Group continues to offer transformative experiences to young people and develop important skills that provide a firm foundation for later life. Our Group Lead Volunteers report will cover these points more comprehensively. 

We have an outstanding, dedicated and committed set of trustees, leaders, officers, volunteers, helpers and parents who all work together to make the Scout Group successful. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of them. Without the commitment of these individuals the Scout Group could not continue to operate. Succession planning on the issue of securing new leaders, volunteers and parent helpers is our biggest challenge but overall, I am pleased to report that the organisation has continued to be relatively stable in the year.  A more stable organisation enables us to plan more challenging activities with confidence and means that we can continue to evolve our offer and keep it relevant, modern and exciting. New volunteers are warmly welcomed and appreciated, and it would be great to see even more new volunteers coming forward to continue to take the organisation into the future. 

We reported comprehensively on our Kandersteg trip at our previous AGM. The inspiration and lessons taken from that trip continue to excite those who participated, and we really hope that we can continue to offer this type of trip in the future. Early planning is underway for future similar events. 

The Group continues to have strong and active Explorers, Scouts and Cubs sections. Numbers are healthy and there are waiting lists. Again, our Group Lead Volunteers report will cover this in more detail. Our ambition to restart Beavers did not materialise in the year. We must 



secure the right group of willing leaders to enable Beavers to operate successfully. I would urge anyone who is interested in helping to restart Beavers to speak with our Group Lead Volunteer. Beavers is an early stepping stone for many young people who then move through the Scouting organisation. As a trustee we would really like to rebuild Beavers in Seer Green. 

Financially, our accounts for the year show a deficit of receipts over payments. This was planned as previous funds raised for Kandersteg were paid in the financial year and we continued to make important investments in storage and equipment as a key part of our future. The beer festival continued to go from strength to strength and has become a much-loved event in the local community, providing critical funds. The Beer Festival Committee is truly outstanding, and the trustee would like to record its deep appreciation to them for running such an excellent event.  The Group has no outstanding loans. The treasurer will present the financial position and the accounts at the AGM; our financial position remains secure and stable. 

In concluding I would like to say a big thank you to all involved in the Scouting Group. Your capability, commitment and dedication are deeply appreciated. Thank you for giving up your valuable time and thank you for building a Scout Group that we can all be deeply proud of, at the heart of our local community.
