GSL report April 2023 to March 2024
The group has continued to deliver an amazing program to our young people over this time. Each young person has had opportunities to grow and develop and challenge themselves.
This is a reflection on the time that the volunteer leaders has given. The old adage of ‘its only an hour a week’, is well and truly a lie. Each of our adult volunteers give much more than this. The dedication they give to delivering Scouting to our young people is staggering. They plan the program, around the badges that the Young people can achieve, they then gather all the equipment needed, set it up prior to the session, run the session, clear up from the session. This includes the risk assessment of everything that is done, the record keeping of the young peoples achievements, the training that is completed as required for Safety, safeguarding and first aid to name a few, also the meetings we attend for co-ordinating and planning district events, all alongside their own busy family lives and paid employment.
I know that parents appreciate all that they do, and its always lovely when the thank you’s are heard.
I’d like to thank all the leaders, for all the time, enthusiasm and support.
Over this period, we have taken a trip to Northern Ireland, attended by Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. We also took our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers to Shirejam, a large County jamboree event.
A great time was had be all.
I am proud that every young person has had opportunities to attend the normal weekly sections, additional district events and overnight adventures.
We awarded badges that number in the 100’s to our young people. Costing over £1000! This is a brilliant achievement. Thank you to all the parents who have supported events and activities in any way.
We have a waiting list for young people to join the group, and we would love to expand our numbers, to do this we need additional volunteers, if anyone wants to join the fun, they would be very welcome.
Our structure within Scouting has changed and we have adopted the new set up of Trustees, rather than an Exec Board. Huge thanks to those trustees for keeping up to date with all the changes, and for all the time, help and assistance they give us.
We look forward to another successful year.
