Chair. FoLlowing good practice recommendations from the Charity Governance Code, POR
states Trustee Boards should have a minimum of 5, and no more than 12. Trustees in total.
This incLudes ex officio and co-opted Trustees.
With the retirement of Catherine Bradler and Rachel Church the Trustee board continues
with 8 Trustee Members.
The Group Scout Council must agree the maximum number of people to be appointed to the
Trustee Board (this number represents the total of ex-officio, appointed and co-opted
members}. The outgoing Trustee Board recommends that in totsL 8 peopLe are appointed. I
propose the Group Scout Council approves that recommendation.

GLV report AGM 31st May 2026.
FirstLy, thank you to alLthe volunteers for running great programmes and events for
their relevant sections.
Where are we now compared to where we were last year and where do we want to
be?
Beavers- Rachael has moved up to cubs to become part of the Leadership team with
them. Our colony is thriving with a waiting listfor many new beavers eager to join.
Page 3 of 6 page$

Cubs-Thankyou to the newteam members that have joined the cub leadership team
overthe past year. However, with Chris Leaving atthe end of the summer term, we are
in desperate need of volunteers to become cub team leaders to Lead cubs onwards after
September. Our cub pack is currently larger than it has ever been before due to a Large
volume of beavers moving up over the past 2 terms and has an extensive waiting list
Scouts- Tiger troop has lost a coupLe of leaders over the past year due to personaL
reasons. and, again, we need more volunteers to join the team. Scouts also has more
members than it has had in the past and aLso has a waiting list
ExpLorers- The Explorer Leader (Andyl is looking for volunteers to help with the
Explorers.
Current numbers=
Beavers 15. Cubs 24. Scouts 31, Explorers 15
Awards
This year has seen us award:
3 Chief scout Bronze, 7 Chief scout Silver, 3 Chief 5COUt Gold
Well done to all the recipients of these awards for aLI their hard work and to the leaders
for running a successful programme so thatthese awards can be achieved.
District
Again. this year BromLey have arranged a fuLL calendar of events for each sertion.
So far. scouts and expLorers attended the scouts of steel evenL and as a group we
attended the St Georges Day event. which was a fantastic day for aLI sections to enjoy a
variety of activities and renew our promises. There are more activities scheduled for the
rest of the year. incLuding a whole distrirt camp.
Group activities
Last summer we had a great group camp at Downe, however the weather could have
been better Ifingers crossed for better weather this yearll and the explorers ventured
into Wales to do gorge waLking and the Longest zip line over a quarry-fantastic
experiences- thank you to Andy for organising them.
In February, we took a group of explorers to The Gambia, where we cleaned and
repainted extemal walLs in a Local preschool, initiated the first beach cLean up (which is
now being done quarterLyl amongst many other amazing experiences. We have a
lasting Legacy of sponsoring 5 Gambian students (known as the panther kidsl. We are
Looking to return in 2029 to foLlow up on these initiatives and. hopefuLLy, Leave more
lasting legacies in the future.
In March the beavers and cubs had a joint camp at WiLberforce campsite. with a
weekend of activities including archery. fire Lighting. pioneering, craft grass sledging
and much morel We channelLed our inner Andys for the campfire songs!
We have kayaking activities booked and a summer camp to Look forward to.
Looking to the future. we are hoping to organise a trip to Ypres to see the war graves
and Essex Jamboree in 2028 and The Gambia in 2029.
Where do we want to be?
Page 4 of 6 pages

We have a thriving community of young peopLe and are aLways getting
recommendations for young people to join the relevant sectioris, however due to Lack of
volunteers, we are unable to take any more young peopLe and offer them these
opportunities. As previously mentioned, each section has waiting Lists.
For our sections to be able to continue offering these fantastic experiences to our young
people, we need to have more aduLts engaged with the sections. not just as parent
helpers weekly when the leaders request IL but by joining the volunteer teams. The
more volunteers each section has. the more the workload can be spread out be￿een
you alL.
Please think about what skiLLs you would like to learn. and more importantly what skills
you have that you can share with our young peopLe.
The dream. of my predecessor and our Trustee Board is still tr) have the 2-storey hut
