We have welcomed the arrival of a Squirrel Drey, scouting’s newest section. It has been a delight to see all of our sections being active, both in the HQ and out and about. We continue the path of transformation within the movement, with this year making the change from being an Executive Committee to becoming a Board of Trustees, with the emphasis moving more towards governance. Once again, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the other members of the Board of Trustees for giving up their time and expertise to ensure the smooth running of the management of the group. If you would like to join our amazing team of volunteers, there are always opportunities to get involved and we would love to talk to you about how you can help. Volunteering with the group is a great way to support our young people and all our volunteers make a huge difference to the group, whatever their role This year also sees our longest serving member of the Group stand down from weekly section meetings, after almost 40 years of dedicated service. Clive has held numerous positions within the Group, including Group Scout Leader, Scout leader, Group Quarter Master, Trustee and probably many more. His commitment, dedication and hard work over the years has been truly inspirational and a huge asset to the Group and we thank him for it. However, I am pleased to say that Clive will not be leaving the Group, and we hope he will continue supporting 1st Danbury for many more years. Finally, I would like to offer my thanks to the entire team of amazing volunteers that we have in the Group and for making 1st Danbury Scout Group such a success. It seems obvious, but without our dedicated volunteers there would be no Scout Group. Nigel Hills Group Chair Page 4 ## Group Scout Leader Report Another Scouting year has past, and the Scout group has continued to flourish again this year. Our membership is up again this year by 15.4% (Adults and Young People Combined) in real terms that mean an additional 24 Young People and 4 new Adults volunteers, This is now the 8 consecutive year the group has seen growth excluding a small blip at the height of COVID. The group still has a very a large waiting list and despite of the best efforts from Claire our waiting list coordinator in conjunction with the section leader the list continues to grow weekly. The academic year 2023/24 has yet again been another hugely successful year. Last year I talked about the opening of a new cub pack, the year before was a Scout troop, and then this year we were very excited to launch our Squirrels Drey (4–6-year olds) which is now slowly being to bed itself in. Thank you to Emily, Laura and Rebecca with support and guidance from Nicola in getting this project off the ground. The young people in the group have again had a great year of activities which range from small section camps, kayaking, a large cub camp across all three packs, section visits and in 21 days’ time we are very excited to be taking 43 Young People to Essex Jamboree – This will be the first time the group has been to a Jamboree in at least 8 years. To give you an idea of how busy we have been, the group has awarded 2250 badges in the last 12 months. The section reports in this document go into far more detail of what children have been up to. Last year I mentioned the enormous changes that werecoming to the way the Scout Association operates, unfortunately some of those changes have been held back and therefore there is still an element of uncertainty about the full impact of the changes. That said on the whole all leaders remain positive and continue to do an amazing job week in, week out. Lastly, occasionally we say goodbye and thank you to leaders when they decide it’s time to move on. This year we see a very special member of the group taking more of a back seat role and enjoying retirement. Clive Pretty has been with Danbury Scout Group for nearly 40 years. As a Scouter in Charge, Scout Leader and a Trustee. In that time I can only imagine the number of Young People’s lives Clive would have had some influence over. In fact, some leaders in the group now, were once Clive’s Scouts they have gone away, come back again and are now volunteering adults. I know Clive is not going to disappear completely and will remain a trustee of the group for a while, but his enthusiasm, knowledge and hard work week in and week 8 out will be missed by all the leaders. Clive, thank you so much for all you have done over the many years for Danbury Scout Group your help, wisdom and support is appreciated by all both leaders and young people and you will be very much missed as a leader. Once again, I would like to officially thank all the adults that give up so much time to make what we do so successful and also a big thank you to all the parents in the group for your continued support.

I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
