Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The Scout Group has seen an increase in badges and awards, and the
programme delivered to young people is varied and sustained to a high
standard. We have had some leadership changes in section teams, but
the group remains stable in numbers and is expected to grow in the next
year. We have no plans to close or open new sections.
We have converted a scout troop into an explorer unit, which does not fall
under our control but our young people do now have a third explorer
scout option.
The planning for Kandersteg is under way and we forsee now issues with
the trip and all insurances etc are in place.

event of Scout Group Closures within the District jurisdiction.
