1[st] Wilton Scout Group A.G.M

June 26[th] 2025

1. Thank you and welcome - Andrew Kinsey G.V.L

2. Apologies – John Hope & Nick Mead

3. Governance topics –

Minutes of 20[th] June 2024 – proposed by Andrew seconded James Gaut All in favour

Adopt model constitution from P.O.R – All in favour

4. Treasurer’s report

Significant expenditure but income looking good.

Mini bus repair considerable but worth doing (£7k – cost)

Solar panels have been up for c. 1 year. Slow impact on electricity bills, current one is much lower so now starting to reap rewards.

Pay for cleaners + maintenance

Income – The Scout Christmas post brought in c. £1k and the book collection £5,700 for limited effort. The book sorting is fun and a social, reliable income stream.

The hall hire is the main source of income bringing in c. £13k and covers the running costs. The rag collection c £360 which is a small amount but no effort needed for this. Rag collectors offer less/kg. Worth checking if another collector pays more. Rates are too variable.

Bank account is in a good state and will enable other capital projects.

There was one question re solar panels – how much? Currently costing £258 per month but the current bill is £90 Repay in 12 year term so debt is cleared

Andrew Kinsey proposed the adoption of the accounts and Catherine Johnson seconded them.

5. Appointments

Chairperson – unresolved

Treasurer – Vicki will continue for another year. Thanks to her

Trustees – Vicki, Catherine, Andrew & Jo

Auditor – Cherry Goddard – proposed by Vicki seconded by Jo

1. Report from G.V.L

2. Questions from the floor? – There was none

District Commissioner – There are 18 Scout Groups in the District. Ian thanked the Trustees and said it was a shame there was a low turn out.

It was commented on that the Board of Trustees need to adhere to Scouting rules. At the moment Andrew is marking his own homework so we need a separate Chairperson.

Scouting does more than the traditional scouting activities for children but parents don’t understand. Scouting gives opportunity vital for individual development. Need support from non uniformed volunteers.

If there is no Trustee board there is no group. Should be sustainable over time. Group can’t survive without volunteers.

Meeting closed at 7.00p.m.
