## REPORT 2022-2023
life of a DC changes every year and I think that’s just to keep us on our toes. 1492 nights away recorded this year - wow
tremendous support to myself and Nene Valley over the years he was chair and he con�nues to serve as a trustee for the district.
Transforma�on has been the buzz word this year, although it hasn’t transformed quite as quickly as was expected the wheels are in mo�on for some changes within Scou�ng, which we will embrace in Nene valley when they happen.
moving back towards our pre 2020 figures. As always, our struggle has been with ge�ng enough adult leaders to support the groups and this was the reason for having to close 7[th] Rushden back in July last year. The district team have been out suppor�ng those groups who had struggled with leadership teams and we are now seeing some growth with new adults joining.
However, we had two groups with massive growth. 2[nd] Higham con�nued to grow with a 29% growth and 1[st] Rushden have grown by 45%. These are fantas�c achievements and all the hard work that Cat & Kevin and their teams have put in at these groups is paying off.
The highlight of the year has been seeing six Gold DOFE awards gained by
## **Calum King, Ryan Powell, Emily Wraight, Millie Hunt, Callum Moody & Sebas�an Higgins**
and Millie Hunt achieved her Queens Scout Award as well. Millie was one of the last to achieve this in Northamptonshire as any new award holders will be Kings Scouts. What a fabulous achievement by all these young people and five out of six of them went through all sec�ons of Scou�ng here in Nene Valley. One very proud DC (and Mum). These are the young people who will inspire our younger members.
Our adult training record has been exemplary in regards to compulsory ongoing training and that’s thank you to Tony for always being on top of this. Its great to keep ge�ng emails from Headquarters saying well done for our compliance record, but also so important as a movement that we ensure all our adults are trained to provide a safe environment for our young people.
Our annual Fireworks display was another great success with over 7500 people in a�endance. The organising is no mean feat and under Steve Wards guidance this event con�nues to provide the district with our main fundraising event.
In February we held an Au�sm training day for 30 adults ran by Diane of Enfold. This was six hours of quality training where the room was buzzing and it was great to get so many ideas to take away to use at our Scout nights. Thank you to all our volunteers who gave up a Saturday to learn more about how to support our young people to enable them to get the most out of ac�vi�es.
Although technically not in this year, we have also had a district day for Beavers and Cubs at Stanwick Lakes. So, on the 13[th] May we had 170 young people and their leaders descend on Stanwick Lakes for a day of trails, bivouac’s, bird watching, Vikings, animal tracks & natural art. The whole day was a success and a big shout out to Liz & Mollie from Stanwick Lakes and all the leaders who helped to make the day such a success.
2[nd] Raunds opened Nene Valleys first Squirrel Drey. It has been amazing to watch these 4- and 5-yearolds take part in all the ac�vi�es and so many smiley faces every week. Well done to the Squirrel team.
As always thank you to every volunteer involved in Nene Valley Scout District whether you are a leader, trustee or district team member. We are a great li�le district who all work well together. Thank you and enjoy your upcoming summer break.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
