Trustees Annual Report 2024. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Group Annual Report** 2023 was a great year for 14[th] Aldershot. Thank you to Matt our outgoing Group Scout Leader and Kerry for being our treasurer. In 2023 Beavers and cubs enjoyed a joint camp at Normandy, it was a hot weekend and we held boat racing in the stream, a water flight and spend a lot of time in the woods and under the shade of the trees. Scouts enjoyed a backwoods camp at hannoms copse sleeping under the stars and just a tarpaulin. The Cubs joined 8[th] Aldershot for camp at Bentley copse. Summer camp was yet another success. Beavers cubs and scouts went to Youlbury for a week and enjoyed bowling, zip wire, Jacobs Ladder, abseiling, a visit to the Cotswold wildlife park, t-shirt printing and loads more including axe throwing and a leap of faith In November the whole group went to Walton firs for a weekend of activities. Scouts found their way through the maze, Beavers learnt lashings and made a flintstone type buggies to race, Cubs climbed to the top of the crate tower, then we swapped round and did it all again! We’ve had numerous sleepovers, district events, days out, hikes, Parades, campfires and activities, We have raised money for MacMillian cancer support and lit the graves at the military cemetery for Remembrance day. We have been very proud of our young people, we have had 26 beavers achieve their bronze award and six cubs who have earnt their silver. In 2024 we want to offer more great camps and activities, seven scouts have just completed their expedition badge and Beavers have enjoyed a sleepover at over at 1[st] Normandy. Summer camp is booked for July and a group camp is planned for June. We would like to open a squirrels section for the newest members of the scouting association. Squirrels are 4 and 5 year old, but to do so, we new volunteers and parent help to run it. If anyone here thinks they might like to take on a new challenge and become a squirrel leader please talk to a leader after the meeting. Its only an hour a week! Rushmoor Borough council have supported us with a communities grant. We have been awarded £483 towards buying some new tents which we hope to have in time for our June camp. Waverley Lodge freemasons have donated toilets tents, portable toilets, cooking trays and a hot water urn. These were presented to us a few weeks ago and some of the items are in use tonight. The Monday crew have installed new cupboards and worksurfaces into the kitchen store room which has transformed the space. Trustees Annual Report 2024.
