## **District Chair’s Report** 

I am pleased to introduce this year’s Annual Report for the Hemel Hempstead Scout District and commend you all read it to celebrate the success of the District over the past year. 

I have recently finished reading a book about the history of Scouting.  It reminded me that there is a reason they called it the Scout _**Movement**_ and that is because Scouting changes with the times in order to stay relevant and meet the needs of young people. 

We are still in extraordinary times where the only thing we can be certain of is that there will be more change.  Nationally there are over 640,000 Scouts in the UK.  Over 1600 of these are now in Hemel Hempstead, enjoying fun, friendship and outdoor adventure on a weekly basis.  Each of these members are developing a sense of optimism and strong values as well as leadership and teamwork skills that are more valuable than ever.  It is also interesting to hear that we have the third largest Group in the country in our District. 

We thank every single leader, whatever their role, in helping to provide this success.  It is a team effort and working together we are stronger.  However, in particular, I must thank Russ Dyble our outgoing District Commissioner for all that he has given to the District over the last ten years.  His strategic and practical leadership has been exceptionally outstanding and has helped the District to develop and move forward during ‘normal’ times as well as through the pandemic and leaves us in a position where we have the largest membership we have ever seen at a time when the rest of the County are struggling to grow numbers.  I want to acknowledge that the result of Russ’ leadership is that Scouting is experienced by so many adults and young people and that it provides them all with immeasurable experiences, memories and skills for life.  We are truly grateful for his commitment, effort and hard work over the last 10 years. 

Of course, this does mean that the District is in a strong position to move into the future and for someone else to take over the reins.  If you know of someone that might like to take that role please do get in touch with me! 

## **Thank you**

**The District Commissioner’s Year (and a look back on the last decade)** 

Last year I wrote about a “Covid-bounce” in membership, likely explained by a return to normality following the 2020/21 pandemic, however this year we can celebrate another 16%+ growth in members across the district, testament to the hard work of many volunteers. 

2022 was the first “normal” year since 2019 with a full range of district events taking place to supplement the very busy calendars in most Scout Groups. Photos from many of these events are available on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/hemel.scouts 

This is my last report as District Commissioner as each role holder is limited to 10 years in post. 

My tenure was very much a tale of two halves… In 2013 I was also employed by the Scouts in London and for the first 5 years had time to devote many, many hours to changing the culture and introducing new ideas. 

When I moved to Coventry in 2018 I initially thought I should step down but I was persuaded by many people that a period of “steady-the-ship” was what was needed - especially when Covid hit! 

The 3hr round trip to Hemel, addition of baby Max and growing a startup company to nearly 20 staff - all during the covid pandemic - changed the nature of how I could do the role but hopefully sets us up to work more as a team than reliant on one person to be the bottleneck the DC role can sometimes become. 

There are too many names to thank individually but I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been with me along some/all of the way! I am particularly proud of the following achievements: 

- a transformed culture in the district, with groups helping each other and wide participation in most district events 

- a 43% increase in overall members since January 2013 

- Summer expeditions to Holland, Lochearnhead, Haarlem Jamborette and Kandersteg plus all the other events run by other volunteers from the district. 

- two district HQs with £30k+ investment to create a sustainable income to supplement the membership fee 

- various “alternative” promise renewal events - updating an important tradition to retain the interest of today’s Scouts 

- more adventurous activity permits than ever issued to enable adults to get young people out and about 

- a significant contribution to the Hertfordshire Scouts capital appeal to support the purchase of various sites, especially our local Phasels Wood Activity Centre 

- no increase in the district levy for 10 years straight 

- survived and eventually thrived through Covid with special thanks to all those who continued giving young people Scouting activities in the most unusual circumstances 

- annual awards evening where the Mayor of day recognised the achievements of young people and adults 

- superb FUN-draising events such curry nights, wine tasting and quizzes 

- establishing the “Adventure Fund” to help families and groups fund activities and projects that might not otherwise have happened 

- a reliable “young leader” training programme to encourage 14-18 year olds to develop into leaders of the future 



On 23rd April 2013, I promised to the district that I would “do my best” in this role… the capacity of my “best” has varied over time but I look back and feel I kept that promise. I can’t wait to see some new blood coming through and will support in any way I can - and don’t intend to go too far if I’m allowed to hang around! 

I would like to end my report with a heartfelt thanks for all the effort by volunteers across the district over the last decade. There have been times when the District Commissioner role has been challenging but the overwhelming feeling when I look back is satisfaction and pride in what we have achieved together and excitement for what is still to come for the district.

## **District Policies and Targets** 

The District Executive Committee has been working hard to keep up with the continually evolving guidance provided by The Scout Association and the Charity Commission.    During the past few years, guided by our Chairman and District Commissioner,  we have implemented a number of Procedural and Financial policies within the District, and set ourselves targets for coming years.   We expect these initiatives to continue. 

## **Financial Policy and Reserves** 

The District maintains the following Reserves for development and unexpected expenditure: General District Reserve 

International Activities and Jamboree reserve District Scout Shop development reserve District Headquarters reserve 

The following Policy was adopted in 2013: 

“Where possible we do not want to increase Reserves or Subscriptions” 

_(In fact for 2014 the District Subscription was reduced, and it remained unchanged for 2015. For 2016 there was a slight increase following the change to the HQ subscription model.)_ 

## **Other Policies** 

This District works to the Scout Association policies on Safety and Safeguarding 

The following District policies are in place: 

Policy on Financial Reserves Policy on Expense Claims Policy on Budgeting for District Events Policy on District Support in cases of Hardship Policy on the use of personal data in compliance with Data Protection 

These Policies are stated on the District Website. 

## **Targets** 

The District’s main target is to widen the provision of Scouting and increase membership locally.    This is being achieved by supporting Groups to expand and extending the range of activities provided within the District.

Independent Examlnar's Report to the Trustees of
the Hemel Hempstead District Scout Councll
I report on the accounts of the District Scout Council for the year to 31st Decemt*r 2022
which are set out on pages 3 to 7.
Respectlve Responslbllltigs of Trustee5 and Examlner
The Dislricys trustee5 are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitvs
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities
Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examlnation is neede(l.
It is my responsibility to..
•examine the ac(L)unts under section 145 of the Charitles Ac(
•to follow the proc8dur6s laid down in the general Directions glven by the Charity Commisston
{und&r s￿tiOn 145{5llbl of the Charities Act. and
•to slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Ba51s of Indap•ndent Examlner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Chadty
CDmmission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
It also includes
considgration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from th9 trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all
the evidenca that would b8 required in an audit. and consequently no opinion is given as lo
whether the accounts present 8 'trÈJe. an¢J fa￿,.vieW and the reFort is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent Examlner's Statgment
In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attentlon:
1. Which gives me reasonabl& cause to belleve that in any material respect the
requirements
•lo kgep accounting records in accordance with Seckn 130 of the Ch8riti88 Act and
•to prepare armunts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met or
to which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in'order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to I￿ reached.
