Apologies for absence** |**Apologies for absence**|| |---|---| |Roger Prime|Alan Rice| |Nicola Wareing|Dave Chambers| |Jo Hurst|| ||| ||| Page 3 of 13 pages ## **3. Governance topics** We'll use this part of the meeting to make sure the charity's foundations are in good order First a number of votes ## **3a. Approve the minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 15[th] June 2023** The Group Trustee Board have reviewed the minutes of the previous AGM at their meeting held on 15[th] June 2023. I put forward these minutes are taken as read and ask the Group Scout Council to agree they’re a true record of that meeting. Seconder please…Ben Holland……………. / Please show your hands to approve _**.**_ ## **3b. Adopt the model constitution from Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR)** In line with the recommendation from Scout Headquarters, the Group Trustee Board proposes we adopt the model constitution from Chapter 5, section 4 of Policy, Organisation and Rules. The current version of POR is March 2024, plus the June amendments. We look to follow all amendments as soon as practically possible when they are published. A copy of this was available for review and inspection prior to this meeting, and copies are also available at this meeting. Seconder please …Phillipa…………………. / Please show your hands to approve. ## **3c. Note the Group’s financial year** Can the Group Scout Council members please note our charity’s financial year is [1 April to 31 March]. Page 4 of 13 pages ## **3d. Approve appointed and community members of the Group Scout Council** **Chair** notes the Group Scout Council can admit other people to membership. Chair advises that the following people are all ex officio: - All adult members of the Group - All Leaders - All Patrol Leaders in the Troop - All Parents of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts - All Explorers as stated in the partnership agreement - All Explorer parents - The District Commissioner - The District Chair We can appoint other people as individuals, or community members because of their position (eg local head teacher). Now the chicken and egg question, myself (David Lowther), Robert Hatfield and Carol Shirtliff no longer have youth members in the Group (but we used to). As members of the current Trustee Board we are members of the Group Council (see first in the list above). However, as we are doing a _system reset_ the Trustee Board would like to recommend that David, Robert and Carol are **Group Council** members for three years. (POR now says we have to specify a fixed period, subsequent reappointments are permitted). ## **Please show your hands to approve. APPROVED** Please note: These nominations are to the Group Scout Council (the people attending this AGM). They aren’t members of the Group Trustee Board. Please also note, these nominations can be by name or role. Page 5 of 13 pages ## **3e. Agreeing the maximum total number of members of the Group Trustee Board** 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. In the new version of POR (which we have adopted as our constitution) there is only one ex officio member of the Trustee Board, the Group Scout Leader, Jonathan (Skip). The Trustee Board recommends we have a maximum of 12 members (this includes Skip). I propose the Group Scout Council approves that recommendation. Seconder please ……Peter………………. / Please show your hands to approve. ## **3f. Agree the quorum for future meetings of the Group Scout Council (excluding this AGM)** The Group Scout Council must agree its quorum – the minimum number of Group Scout Council members that must be present at Group Scout Council meetings. The outgoing Trustee Board recommends the quorum should be set at **10** people. Does the Group Scout Council approve that recommendation? Seconder please ……Tina………………. / Please show your hands to approve. Note: I personally would like this to be higher as it means we should have a wide audience there at the AGM to oversee proper governance, however I also recognise we MUST get the job done. Hence a low number. Page 6 of 13 pages ## **4. Review of the previous year** We’ll now use this part of the meeting to reflect on the activities of the past year. ## **4a. The Group Scout Leader review of last 12 months** Normandy Scout group report 2023/24 The scout group has had another very successful year. We have good membership numbers within all sections - currently we have around 90 young people regularly attending meetings every week across Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts - all supported by a great team of leaders. We also have a waiting list for young people to join Beavers The Beaver colony continues to thrive, led by Jez and his team of parent helpers and explorer scouts. The beavers have attended district events and colony events. We have had sleepovers at here at the HQ which have been greatly enjoyed by all the beavers. The colony is currently full and cannot provide for all on our waiting list, The cub pack is also doing well lead by Alexis and Nicola supported by the cub parents. The pack have a had active programme of activities including skiing and canoeing and many other weekly activities as well as attending district activities such as the quiz and handicraft competitions. The scout troop continues to do well attending county events such as KIX 23 (international camp in Switzerland) as well as frost camp and scoutabout this summer. We run a weekly programme of activities and our annual camp to the Forest of Dean along with the explorer scouts. The scouts have been canoeing, night hiking, camping, cycling, hiking, cooking, doughnuting, survival camping and backwoods cooking . Leadership wise, Nick McEvett and Roger Prime have stepped down from scouting after a number of years helping and supporting the troop first as parent helpers and then as uniformed leaders .We are extremely grateful for all they have given to the scout group and young people in Normandy .As of the end of the summer term I have also stepped back from the scout troop but will remain in the GSL/lead volunteer role. Ruth and Dave Cunningham have agreed to run the troop with weekly help from scout parents. The explorer scouts although technically a district section are very much part of Normandy scout group and it would be remiss of me not to mention the success of the unit and the great activities the explorer scouts and leaders organise throughout the year led by Peter and his leadership team. My thanks to all the leaders and parents who help with the running of all activities without you it would not happen. Page 7 of 13 pages My thanks to David and the group trustee's board for their support throughout the year. We have finally completed our disabled toilet and shower room which has added and excellent facility for scouts using the HQ for overnight camping activities. The HQ and grounds are utilised during the year by groups, both in the Guildford area and further afield including Whitton beavers and cubs, Aldershot and Farnborough cubs and beavers and Bisley Scouts, as well as guides and brownies from Rydes Hill and Worplesdon. Freemantles school use the grounds regularly for forest school. We are hoping that we can make more use of the facilities in the future to provide a steady income stream. It has been a very busy and successful year thanks to adult leader teams, and trustees board members. However extra help is always welcome and if anybody is interested in helping in any way please speak to me. David or any one of the section leadership teams. My final thanks goes to all the young people across all the section you are the future and what scouting is all about. Skip (aka Jonathan Gasson) **Chair** thanks GSL for their review. **4b. Receive and consider the Annual Report of the Group Trustee Board including the annual Statement of Accounts** **Chair** notes the Group Trustee Board has approved the Annual Report and Statement of Accounts, and has received the report on the accounts from the [Independent Examiner Ashley Metzner]. **Chair** asks the Group Treasurer to give their explanation of the Statement of Accounts. **Treasurer** explains the Statement of Accounts. **Chair** invites questions from the floor regarding the Trustee Annual Report, and the Annual Accounts. **Chair** thanks the Treasurer [Jo Hurst] Please note: No vote is required, the Group Scout Council only ‘receives and considers’ the report. Page 8 of 13 pages ## **5. Making appointments** We’ll use this part of the meeting to organise the set up of the charity until the **end of the next AGM** . We'll appoint a Trustee Board to oversee good governance for the charity over the next year. Terms of office can be for 1, 2 or 3 years. We propose whilst we get fully to grips with the new POR we have terms of office of one year (to end after the next AGM). ## **5a. Appoint the Group Chair** I believe that at the last AGM we said that the term of office runs until after the next AGM, it was in the script. So, the handing of the meeting back and forth between Chair & GSL is not necessary. **Chair** hands the chairmanship of this meeting over to the Group Scout Leader. **Group Scout Leader** explains the open selection process agreed by the Trustee Board. The recommendation to the Group Scout Council is that [David Lowther] should be appointed as Group Chair. Please show your hands as approval. **Group Scout Leader** hands the chairmanship of this meeting back to Group Chair. Please note: If appointing a new Chair, you should agree **prior** to the AGM whether the outgoing Chair will continue to lead this meeting, or whether the new Chair should take over immediately during the meeting. It’s strongly encouraged the new Group Chair takes over after the AGM’s finished – perhaps from midnight following the AGM. ## **5b. Appoint the Group Treasurer** **Chair** explains the open selection process agreed by the Trustee Board. The recommendation to the Group Scout Council is that Jo Hurst should be appointed as Group Treasurer. Please show your hands as approval. Page 9 of 13 pages ## **5c. Appoint members of the Group Trustee Board, following recommendations from the open selection process initiated by the Group Trustee Board** **Chair** explains the open selection process agreed by the Trustee Board. The recommendation to the Group Scout Council is that [Edits names] should be appointed as members of the Group Trustee Board. ||Name|Role / Specialisation|Type| |---|---|---|---| |1|David Lowther|Chair|Appointed by Scout Council| |2|Jo Hurst|Treasurer|Appointed by Scout Council| |3|Jonathan Gasson (Skip)|GSL|Appointed by Scout Council| |4|Jez Phoenix|Beaver Leader|Appointed by Scout Council| |5|Alexis Shirtliff|Cub Leader|Appointed by Scout Council| |6|Ruth Slaney|Scout Troop Leader|Appointed by Scout Council| |7|Peter Hurst|Explorer Leader|Appointed by Scout Council| |8|Robert Hatfield|Gift Aid|Appointed by Scout Council| |9|Ben Holland|Energy|Appointed by Scout Council| |10|Thomas Schaefer||Appointed by Scout Council| |11|Carol Shirtliff||Appointed by Scout Council| |12|||| Please show your hands as approval. ## Please note: - There can’t be more names appointed than were approved at agenda item 3e. There can be fewer than agreed at 3e, but not more. Remember, agenda item 3e is the total number of agreed ex officio, appointed and co-opted members. - It’s very important to arrange the open selection process and its recommendations **before** the AGM. Recruitment needs to be open, organised and in advance, so it’s a thoughtful process. It shouldn’t be taking place last minute during the AGM. **Chair** thanks the Trustees for their work during the year and, in particular, those members who are standing down Catriona (youngest is now 18yrs old and so not an Explorer) ## **Approved** Please note: Co-opted members (if any) of the Group Trustee Board are appointed by the Group Trustee Board themselves at one of their meetings, and not at the AGM. Page 10 of 13 pages ## **5e. Appoint the Independent Examiner** **Treasurer** proposes [Ashley Metzner] **Chair** confirms that [Ashley Metzner] has been proposed, seconded and is qualified for the role, and asks for a show of hands to approve [Ashley Metzner] nomination. ## **Approved** Please note: - Please find the requirements for whether to appoint a Scrutineer, Independent Examiner or Auditor on: Accounting & Audit Requirements for Group Districts, Counties/Areas & Scottish Regions - Please find the template for a Scrutineer or an Independent Examiner to use to report back to the Trustee Board on: Accounting and Reporting Page 11 of 13 pages ## **6. Chairman’s Address (including video)** _I write this to all Parents whether you hear it from me directly at the AGM or read it on the notice board…_ Coming clean, many of you know I live in Ash. That said I know Normandy Villagers are proud of their rich history, tradition, and community spirit. Over the years, Scouting has become an integral part of life here, woven into the very fabric of this village. It’s hard to imagine Normandy without the sound of Scouts excitedly running around in our wonderful grounds, the sight of them gathering for a campfire, or the excitement on their faces as they embark on new adventures. Scouting here is not just an activity; it’s a vital thread that binds generations together, passing down values of leadership, service, and camaraderie. The importance of Scouting to Normandy cannot be overstated. Scouting challenges our Young People and in doing so helps them grow into confident, responsible, and capable individuals. It provides a space where they can explore their potential, learn invaluable life skills, and develop a sense of purpose and belonging. _Now before I go on with this address, I think we need stop for a Fact Check as they say on the BBC! One of the biggest advantages of being Chairman is you get this address slot to say whatever you want and no-one can stop you J So the £1m question to Parents is do you believe the above to be true or is Scouts just another ‘baby-sitting’ activity to fill an evening. If the latter then fine, that’s you decision and I wish you well. Personally, I think you have missed out on the most amazing opportunity._ _I am not a boastful person but I think in this case I know far more then you about how to assess the opportunity being presented to you. I have two sons who are now grown up but who have been in every section from Beavers to Explorers, have learned to Kayak, have sailed through the transition to university life and then into professional employment. There are many other examples of families whose offspring have grown likewise as a direct result of the activities, facilities and support of the Leaders on offer. So, as they say, you can read load of complex theory’s on improving yourself and you offspring but it’s really much simpler - “invest as a family with the Normandy Scout Group and you will be rewarded multiple times over” – the Young People should strive to get the most of it and the Parents set the example by volunteering to provide leader support whether that be at the coalface (weekly meetings) or admin support as a member of the Trustees Board._ _I assure you that, like money, investing early generates the biggest rewards. For example, my youngest visited the Swedish Jamboree at the age of 15 and I credit the experience of being part of a 29,000 worldwide attendance for his ability to live in China for 2 years as part of his PhD. In hindsight it seems unbelievable that he left with the name of someone who was to meet him at the airport, 2 big bags and nothing else!_ So reality check over, back to the normal….Over the past year, we have continued to provide a wide array of high-quality activities that have been both diverse and enriching. Section programmes cover the traditional outdoor pursuits like camping and hiking to more modern skills such as environmental stewardship and community service. These activities are not just about fun; they are carefully designed to build resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills that will serve our young people throughout their lives. Page 12 of 13 pages I must be candid in acknowledging that while our program of YP activities has been as strong as ever, the drive from the Trustee board to further enhance our group’s infrastructure has been somewhat subdued this year. This is not due to a lack of ambition or vision, but rather a strategic decision to consolidate and build upon the significant progress we made in the previous year. As we reflect on the year, I must take a moment to acknowledge a significant milestone for our Group. After many years of selfless and unwavering commitment, Skip has stepped down as Scout Troop Leader. Skip will however continue in his GSL role. Words cannot fully capture our gratitude for everything you have done. I know Skip would be first to argue it was a team exercise with the great support of Roger Prime and Nick McEvett. As you may not know who they are so watch this short clip to meet Roger…. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to the parents, our uniformed leaders, and the broader District. Your support is the backbone of our group. Whether it’s helping out at events or simply encouraging your Young People to participate, your involvement is crucial to everything we do. Now, as we look to the future, I have (well my Parkinson’s disease has) decided that this will be my final year serving as your Chairman. It has been an honour and a privilege to lead this group, but I believe it is time for new leadership to step forward. I am announcing this now to allow ample time for someone to step up and shadow me throughout this year. This will ensure a smooth transition and provide continuity for the group, which I know we all agree is of utmost importance. To those who might consider taking on this role, I want to assure you that you will not be alone. The support network within this group is exceptional, and I will be here to guide you through the process. Leading this group has been one of the most rewarding experiences In closing, I want to once again express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to another successful year for the Normandy Scouts. Together, we have created something truly special, and I am confident that with your continued support, the future of Scouting in Normandy is bright. ## **7. District Commissioner’s Address** ## **8. Closing remarks** **Chair** closes the AGM, thanking everyone for attending and outlines any arrangements for the rest of the event.

LT700003 July 2021) 3 of 3 Independent examiner's report to the trustees of 1st Normandy Scout Group (Charlty number: 305778) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the 1" Normandy Scout Group for the year ended 31" March 2024.
