Chairman’s Report 2024/25

WF8 continues its strong performance in terms of the attendance of young people who have chosen to be part of Scouting.

This is a reflection on our excellent leaders, volunteers and helpers without whom WF8 could not operate, and I would like to thank them for the time, effort and dedication they commit. We must acknowledge the huge amount of work, not only in attending the weekly meetings but also the time given to planning activities, maintaining their training and certification and generally running around to make everything happen. Matt, our Group Lead Volunteer, will cover in more detail the development of volunteers across all sections who are continuing to develop as and provide leadership in support of our young people.

We continue to invest in the hut and grounds with regular basic maintenance and statutory inspections. This comes at a cost, which is allocated from the subs our members pay. We continue to review the needs of the group and the buildings to ensure they are safe and secure. There are currently plans to install a new, more robust front entrance door.

Our finances remain healthy and despite the continuing cost of living increases we have again maintained subscriptions at the same level for the last 12 months. We think this offers excellent value for money but it is something we are reviewing as the costs associated with running the group are increasing. In terms of future building maintenance/emergency we hold a contingency fund of £12,000. We hold £3,000 as an operational contingency fund.

The group maintains a website through which most of our communications are posted and the group can also be followed on Twitter.

We now have a change of chair for our Board of Trustees, with Giles Atkinson taking over from Roger Alltree at this year’s AGM. We would like to record our thanks to Roger for his work as Chair, in particular his work in caring for the premises. We should also continue to recognise the help and support provided by Vikki Baker (in the role of secretary) and Louise Alltree (in the role of Group Treasurer).

We would also like to welcome Katerina Waterland as a new trustee and note that Sarah O’Neil has stepped down. As ever, 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 good numbers of young people as members, with a dedicated leadership team. We are grateful to have these volunteers who continue to carry out their training in order to properly look after our sections and make progress on their own journey in Scouting.

There have been a number of changes to the way Scouts operates this year, and Matt will cover some of that in his report.

WF8 and its volunteers wish to thank the young people who Scout with us, as well as their parents and guardians, and we look forward to another exciting year of Scouting.
