Chair’s Report

campfire songs from home

Brownsea 113 took place 26/27 June 2020 - our virtual County Camp we ‘sailed’ to Brownsea Island and all enjoyed setting up camp, cooking, competitions, scavenger hunt, singing and star gazing!

What’s happened over the past year?

Lots! Hello Zoom! Whilst having to make their own adjustments to living in a pandemic many of our Leaders and Supporters set about getting online via zoom to hold their meetings – keeping Dorset Scouts Young People connected and supported with activities and discussions and making plans for the future when ‘normal’ returns. Did you know you can make cakes and cookies virtually and go camping all together but not together!!

Well, that was a weird year! I have more reason than most to thank the NHS, who managed to save my life three times (not Covid-related), and we all can be grateful for some truly wonderful people who have gone the extra mile day in and day out. Our Leaders have also performed above and beyond, delivering for young people across the County in incredibly difficult times; we all hope that the worst is now behind us. And on a note of looking ahead, I am excited to see a future for Buddens that includes our new partners, Rockley Watersports Limited. Some quick win improvements have already been made, and we are looking together at improving the site and young people’s experience with additional climbing and activity facilities, extended and new toilet and shower provision, and a more permanent structure for all-weather dining.

I am truly looking forward to a more normal year and supporting your County Commissioner delivering scouting in County, Groups and Districts.

Dorset Scouts Annual Review 2020/2021

Beaver 35! 26/27 June 2021 - Another virtual celebration for Beaver Scouts 35[th] Birthday! Everyone knows what they are doing now and our wonderful Beavers and Leaders and Parents got involved to mark the occasion – at this stage of the pandemic we had the green light to meet face to face so some colonies managed to meet safely to eat cake!

Thank you to all our Leaders who were inspirational during the pandemic and a gigantic thank you to our, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network for keeping on going – lets explore and be more!

To support our Leaders in the rather complicated world of getting back to normal we held a Covid Recovery Workshop kindly run by HQ Scout Growth U& Development Officers via zoom.

To refresh, prepare and link in with our Sections to get feedback, we held one hour Sectional Support Workshops for Leaders with a Q&A session to finish.

County Commissioner’s

Report

It gives me immense pleasure and pride to contribute to this year’s Annual Review. As you can see, despite all the challenges of restrictions on face-to-face Scouting, disruptions to work, school and home life, an incredible programme of activities and achievement has continued. The determination and creativity of our adult volunteers, supporters and young people has been amazing to witness, with so many ingenious ways found to come together both online and then safely in person. Our adults did an enormous amount of work to implement Covid Safe procedures and to adapt programmes for outside and socially distanced delivery. On this last point we must also give a huge thanks to our young people and families, both for sticking with us as we got to grips with all the requirements and for following all the new rules.

As you can see, several of our young people have achieved the top awards in Scouting, the Queen’s Scout Award and Gold DofE. This is a massive achievement for all of them. What we can’t show you is the hundreds of young people who have achieved the similar awards in each of our sections. In Beavers, Subs, Scouts and Explorers, young people, supported by our amazing adults worked imaginatively to complete all the challenge badges and achieve the Chief Scout’s Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum awards. Many congratulation to all of you.

Buddens Activty Centre

We’ve been workin g together with Scout Adventures to establish the best way forward to ensure the future success of the centre and therefore decided to end the agreement on the 31st March 2021.

To ensure the continued success of Buddens, we have entered a new partnership with Rockley Water Sports, a respected local provider, who have been overseeing the operation of the centre since 1st April 2021. We look forward to a bright future ahead for the centre!

Financial review Reserves policy The County's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the Charitable activities of the County should income and fundraising activities fall short. The County Executive committee considers that the County should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months, running costs, circa £50,000. The County held reserves of approximately £40,000 against this year end. This is above the level required for operating expenses. However, this can be explained by the need to review the level of running costs per annum. The County Executive regularfy monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates re￿iVed to ensure the group obt8ined maximum value and income from its banking arrangements.
