- Trustees report April 2023 March 2024 

The 17[th] St Albans scout group had a positive year between these dates. As a trustee board we adopted the new scouting POR and established our new trustee board, which is formed from the old executive committee. 

During the above period the group had one beaver colony, 2 cub packs and a scout group. There is a steady flow of members from the beavers through to the scout group, any additional spare places are filled from the county waiting list. 

Each group has a robust programme which runs allowing the members to achieve their bronze, silver and gold scout awards. Several members of each group have been awarded these badges. The programmes offered are varied and members also learn skills for life, such as first aid, cooking and household skills. The programmes also reflect the diverse nature of the groups members with them learning about different cultures and key festivals. As a group we held our first group camp which was attended by all sections and the members including our young leaders enjoyed themselves. There have also been individual group camps and nights away.
