Chairman’s Report 2023/24
WF8 remains strong in terms of attendance of young people, choosing to be part of Scouting, recognised globally. I would like to thank our excellent leaders, volunteers and helpers without whom WF8 could not operate. We must not fail to acknowledge the huge amount of work, not only in attending the weekly meetings but also the time they commit to planning, maintaining their training and certification and generally running around to make everything happen. Matt, our GSL will cover in more detail the development of leaders who are continuing to develop as Scouting leaders in support of young people.
Over the past few years we have spent money and effort in updating the safety and comfort of our hut. The garage has new shelving allowing us to safely store our camping equipment making the access of equipment easier.
Our finances remain healthy and despite cost of living having increased we have for the past 12 months retained subscriptions unchanged, in part through a donation for the shelving and from Gift Aid. The group has a website through which most of our communications are posted and the group can also be followed on Twitter.
We said goodbye to Ian Setchell, our Chairman who left us in November 2023. We recognise the help and support provided by Vikki Baker (in the role of secretary) and Louise Alltree (in the role of Group Treasurer). Roger Alltree picked up the role of Chairman after Ian left us.
We have received one new nomination from Sarah O’Neil to join the group trustees; however, we are in need of more parent/carer volunteers to ensure representation from Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs. The small section of people who put in time and effort to keep things running would welcome additional help behind the scenes to keep WF8 Scout Group remain as successful as it is.
WF8 remains a strong group with healthy numbers of young people and a growing leadership team acknowledging that we are grateful to have volunteers carrying out training in order to progress.
Just as we end this operating year we embark on a UK wide Scout transformation, this will bring us in line with the Charity Commission and change the title names of our Leaders to Volunteers. More about transformation as we progress on this journey.
WF8 and its volunteers wish to thank the young people who Scout with us and their parents and guardians and look forward to another exciting year of Scouting.
Roger Alltree
Chair of WF8 Group Executive (23/24)
