GSL Report This year has been a year of change for the 31[st] /9[th] . We have given our members a huge range of different experiences and we continue to be one of the largest groups in our district. We have appointed our new Trustee board for the group, with our new board consisting of Myself as an ex-officio member, our new chairman, Neil Houchen, Carolyn Buddle our treasurer, Michael Norman (some of you will know him better as Wiki), Kieran Wood and Dawn Gillett, a community governor from St Andrews church. We are looking to appoint more trustees, so if this is something you’d be interested in, please have a chat with me to find out more about it. We have continued our programme of upgrades to the scout hut, with the installation of CCTV around the building and the replacement of our fire alarm system. Our next major project will be replacing our seriously outdated hall toilets. This will require some significant effort, including grant applications, having plans drawn up etc etc. If this is something you think you can help with, please do get in touch. We will also be embarking on some serious fundraising to help with this, so again if you think you might be able to help with that, do let me know. Our sections are, for the most part, looking healthy, with our Beavers and Tuesday and Wednesday cub packs running at capacity, or near capacity. Sadly, numbers for our Monday pack are very low, and so unless there is a dramatic change, we will need to look to close the Monday pack after the summer as it is unsustainable in it’s current form. Scouts have undergone some changes too, with Bruce, who has capably led the troop for the last few years, deciding to stand down earlier this year. We thank him for his efforts during his time with the group and wish him well for his future endeavours. We now have a new team running the section, with Kieran, Chris and Rob all supporting the young people. They have some exciting plans for the future and I can’t wait to see the troop thrive. Lastly, our Beaver section is healthy in numbers, but not in leaders. We really need someone else to come along and help Mark with the weekly running of the section. Helping with Beavers is one of the most fun things you can do, it’s great being able to help those young people achieve their best every week. If you might be interested, or even if you have some time to dedicate, but perhaps can’t stay every week, speak to Mark and he’ll be happy to tell you what a brilliant time he has each week! All that remains is for me to thank my amazing leadership team for all their hard work and dedication this year. I really couldn’t do this job without their skill and support. ## **31st/9th Ipswich (Britannia) Scout Group Receipts and Payments Account** Year start date Year end date |||Year start date||Year end date|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the year**
