Annual Report
Phil Lee
District Chair
We're Long Eaton Scouts and everyone's welcome here. Every week during 2022 we give 539 (Census 2023 up 30 YP on last year) young people aged 6-25 the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.
At a time when communities are becoming more divided, we bring people together and have worked to reduce isolation for children and young people to ensure activities through Scouts during the pandemic which in the first part of the year was mostly held online before returning to face-to-face activities. When many young people are struggling to find purpose and belonging, Scouts helps them develop skills, confidence and a sense of hope. We inspire positive futures and help young people find their place in the world by developing the character, employability and practical skills they need to succeed. Our values a Scouts are important now more than ever before. The challenges faced now by our young people and adults within the community and the world requires our care for people of all nations, mutual respect and cooperation to bring peace to the world that has been immensely shaken.
Adult volunteers
Our Appointment Advisory Committee have met as well as held a number of panel meetings to welcome a number of new adult volunteers into new roles this year as well as review our current volunteers. I was delighted to be appointed as District Chair in October 2022. We have been a small District executive, and as the district evolves we will be looking for more people to join us.
Awards and recognition
Our local award advisory group has continued to work really hard this year to ensure volunteers get recognised for their dedicated services through Long Service Awards as well as outstanding contribution they make through Good Service Awards. Throughout the year these awards have been celebrated with individuals but it is always worthwhile to look back and thank them for them commitment to Long Eaton Scouts especially Nigel. Further details can be found of the awards presented during 2021 on page 16 and 17
Good governance
The District Executive has meet face to face during 2022 and we thank Tesco for the use of their Community Room for these meetings. It has continued to operate through its established sub committees for Appointments, Awards and Trent Lock. All of which have made great progress in further developing the support for all of Long Eaton Scouts. The District Executive has continued to review its finances and look to ensure costs are saved and spending focuses on improving the activities and programme for our youth members. We are pleased to see that many adult volunteers have completed appropriate training for their role but continue to work to ensure we are fully compliant.
Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre
For nearly 50 years Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre has provided an amazing and unique experience for Scouts and Girlguiding members to enjoy activities on the water as well as on land. In 2022 the centre was able to welcome a number of groups back to the centre for both residential and day of activities in line with the guidance at the time. Thank You to all that have supported the centre during 2022.
Thank you!

It’s an exciting time for Long Eaton Scouts as we continue to grow and develop, remaining always adaptable, motivated and responsive to all our young people and our communities. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to explore Trent Lock SAC for a while please do. It is a great resource for us to use to empower young people with getting outdoors and being active. We’d like to thank each of you for attending today. You, as part of Long Eaton Scouts, have the vision, the knowledge and the care to help us pave our way into the future. Have a great day!
Annual Report
Catherine Halls-Jukes
District Commissioner
As covid has become a thing of distant dreams, the number of young people wanting to get involved in the fun and challenging activities that Scouting has to offer, have increased, and we continue to receive a number of enquiries to join the various sections across the district. We continue to have a consistent number of adult volunteers across the district, but it continues to be one of our biggest challenges. This means that many leaders have multiple roles within the organisation to juggle alongside their work and personal lives and we must continue to support them as well as looking at ways we can encourage other adults to support the organisation. We are working closely with Headquatersto look at various recruitment options and ask that you support these individuals if you are contacted.
Overall, the District has grown since last years Census, with the surprise being the fastest growing Section of Explorers, for me this shows that the program we are delivering in the younger sections is now carrying through and where historically we have lost Young People between Scouts and Explorers they have enjoyed Scouting and the opportunities that are provided and they wish to continue in their journey.
In 2 months’ time the District will have 24 young people enjoying International events abroad, 6 at the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea and 16 at the Haarlem Jamborette in Holland. I know fund raising for these 2 events have been intense and recognition should be given to the Leaders and Parents that have supported these young people in attending these events.
Last year my plan was to get to know the District and to create a community within the leadership team, and whilst my initial vision of some leader events hasn’t quite fallen into place yet, relationships are growing and I have had the privilege to attend lots of different events/meetings across the District and I have enjoyed spending time with the young people and Leaders, thank you all for the welcome you have extended to myself and my family.
I would like to thank Phil Lees for taking on the role of District Chairman, and to Anne Coles for her continued support as District Treasurer for 2022, the team maybe small, but we are growing and their help has been great.
In the background on day to day Scouting, the Appointments Committee, Awards Committee, Ann Thornton as the District Admin, our LTM’s and all the Leaders have enabled the District to keep running, and we couldn’t provide Scouting to over 500 young people without all our Adult Volunteers.
Lastly, Thank you to “Team DC” Phil H, Matt, Harry, Connor, Andy S. Your commitment and support to the district and me has been really appreciated, and here’s to 2023
Harry Atkinson District Youth Commissioner
We have continued to ensure our programme is exciting and engaging, shaped by young people. During 2021 we set up a District Unit to provide training for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as well as the Young Leaders’ Scheme, and we have continued to deliver a variety of training for these young people

Continue to run DofE training across the District, with 6 young people achieving their Bronze award this year and 1 DofE Gold Award

Programme
Beaver Scouts (Phil Howell)
-
The Beaver Section has grown to Pre- Covid numbers, and the colonies have enjoyed a number of different activites over the year.
-
40 Chief Scout Bronze awards were presented throughout the year.
-
The District had a Beaver Fun Day art 15[th] Long Eaton’s HQ, where we had a number of activites laid on for the Beavers, which linked into a number of different Beaver Badges, these include a Science session, First Aid Level 1, time on the water, and Bouncy Castles – that a number of the District Team had to try out before the Beavers.
Thank you to all the leaders for helping to support this event.
Cub Scouts (Catherine Halls-Jukes)
The packs have continued to have a varied program across the year, and numerous pack camps have been held at lots of different Camp Sites within the local area.
In September a District Cub Camp was held at Drum Hill – where all the cubs got to try lots of different activities on offer at Drum Hill. An extra activity was the attendance at the camp of a local Wild Bird Sanctuary, where the Cubs learnt about each of the birds and had the opportunity to hold some of them.
The Carol Service in December was held at Trent College and was enjoyed by all that attended, even though the numbers were not as pre-covid.
Plenty of badges have been awarded throughout the year, including 15 Silver Chief Scout Awards.
Scouts (Catherine Halls-Jukes)
The Scouts have continued to deliver a good program through out the year, and many have been able to undertake a broader spectrum of activities than the Covid years have allowed.
A number of Scouts attended the County Big Shoot and some won medals at the event
Camping continued to be a favourite activity, with a number of troops taking advantage of the facitilies available at Trent Lock, and Chilly Camp in January/February was well supported across the district.
Sawley hosted JOTI, and other troops joined them Face to Face this year and some joined in remotely from their own meeting venues.
In November a number of the troops attended Remembrance Day parade
There were 11 Chief Scout’s Gold Award across the District
Explorer Scouts (Connor Cartwright)
Long Eaton Explorer units are all gaining members from their partnered and local groups. This is down to leaders of the units going above and beyond in promoting Explorers to the younger sections over the past year through the means of more diversified and adventurous programs. All units have been working with the DESC and Network commissioner to create a smooth transition for young people from explorers to network.
All the units are wearing the new district knecker with either their own or partnered groups badge on them. Along with this they are making their own unit names to give unit individuality and maintain continuity throughout the county.
1 Young person achieved their Chief Scout Platinum Award, and many are close to completing this in 2023.
Scout Network (Matthew Micklewright)
Long Eaton Scouts Network Unit has not been operational for a number of years however there are around 50 young people aged 18-25 who support activities across the District both within sections and at Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre.
Network continued to meet through 2022 fortnightly at 15[th] HQ and have a core number of members, with many supporting the wider district in Leader roles,

Louise Barber
Local Training Manager
-
The Adult Training Scheme provides opportunities for adult members to develop their skills and knowledge to deliver and support the Programme for young people. It aims to help people understand their role, give them the skills necessary to carry out the role and support them in meeting their own personal development needs. The overall aim is to improve the quality and quantity of Scouting delivered within the District.
-
Training is based around 2 key elements – learning and validation. Whilst many members have attended both in person and virtual training modules, we also recognise previous experience from work and other voluntary experiences. Our Training Advisors validate all training completed and I would like to thank them for supporting member in the District through their training journeys this past year.
-
Four adult members were awarded their wood badges over the past 12 months - congratulations to you on your achievements.
-
It’s so important for all adult members including trustees who hold an appointment requiring training to make sure that their mandatory Safety and Safeguarding modules are always up to date. These can be completed by e-learning. Thank you to all those people who have completed these during the year. Some adult appointments require a valid First Response. Many people have attended County run face to face and virtual courses throughout the year. We are also able to recognise external courses completed through people’s workplaces.
-
Further details of training opportunities provided by Derbyshire Scouts can be found at www.derbyshirescouts/training. You can also contact your Training Advisor, Group Scout Leader or myself for any advice on training matters
Andy Sheldon
District Campsite Warden - Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre
2022 saw the return to residential weekends and hosted a number of groups from the District and a number from outside the District.
Unfortunately, a number of Adult’s are no longer able to offer their support to the centre, and this has resulted in the reduction of weekends available to groups, on a positive these weekend have been used as training weekends for the Centre, District and County.
Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre SASU members continue to support the requirement of mandatory training following the changes to POR in September 2020 and we would like to thank them all from taking the time to update their skills and knowledge to ensure the activities we deliver scouting safely.
The plans for improving the site are constantly discussed and a number of plans are in place for the coming year.

Structure, governance and management
Description of charity’s trusts
The District’s governing documents are those of The Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the Bye Laws of the Association and The Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association.
The District is a trust established under its rules, which are common to all Scout Association units.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association and the District Constitution, adopted on 10th May 2018.
Additional governance issues
The District is managed by the District Executive Committee, the members of which are ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout District which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with the legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping of proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Committee consists of 3 independent representatives: Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the District Commissioner, District Youth Commissioner, District Explorer Scout Commissioner and District Scout Network Commissioner together with elected, nominated and co-opted members.
Members of the Executive Committee are asked to complete 'Essential Information for Executive Committee' training within the first 5 months of joining the committee
The District Executive Committee exists to support the District and District Commissioner in meeting the responsibilities and is responsible for:
-
The maintenance of District property;
-
The raising of funds and the administration of District finance;
-
The insurance of persons, property and equipment;
-
District public occasions;
-
Assisting in the recruitment and appointment of leaders and other adult support;
-
Appointing any sub committees, including the District Appointments Advisory Committee and Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre Committee;
-
Appointing District Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected.
Risk
The District Executive Committee has identified the major risks to which they believe the District is exposed, these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main area of concern that has been identified is:
a. increasing adult volunteers numbers of District to 2020 census figures of 229, currently 207 (2023 census)
Damage to property and equipment - The District has sufficient contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members - The District, through subscriptions, contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fundraising – The District is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The District does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee is developing a fundraising strategy to minimise future increases in member subscriptions.
Reduction or loss of leaders - The District is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the District. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the District as a whole then there would be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section or group. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the group.
Reduction or loss of members – The District provides activities for all young people aged 5&3/4 to 25. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or a group as a whole then there would be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section or group. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the group would take place.
12
Internal controls
The District has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss. These include two signatories for all payments and the comprehensive insurance policy to ensure that all insurable risks are covered.
Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the District set out in it’s governing document
Long Eaton District Scout Council adopts the rules outlined in The Scout Association's Policy, Organisation and Rules. A new constitution was adopted at the District AGM on 10[th] May 2018.
Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects
The aim of The Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. The method of achieving the aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.
The District meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The District’s policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the District should income and fundraising activities fall short. The District Executive Committee considers that the District should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, which this year equates to £13,554 including Trent Lock and Explorers, the District hold unrestricted reserves of £46,639 against this at the year end.
Investment Policy
The District Executive monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure that the District obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements. The Executive have not invested in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. All funds are held in cash using mainstream banks and The Charity Deposit Account.
Funding Policy
The District Executive has defined policies for funding the various activities of the District. This policy will drive future budget planning and financial decision making.
