Chairman’s Report
Adam Barrett, Chair of the Group Executive Committee, welcomed everyone as members of the Group Scout Council which consists of Board of Trustees members, Leaders and Parents. He stated that we will miss Mick and Barbara Judd who have stepped down from their roles as Group Volunteer Leader and Explorer Leader respectively after over 40 years’ service to this Group. They are currently on a long Barge trip around the country.
He explained the rules of management and the need for an Annual General Meeting. The Board has to ensure that the Group is properly funded and managed within the rules of the Association and Charity Commission. As a registered charity the Group is legally obliged to hold an AGM annually to demonstrate transparency
The Board is looking for a replacement Group Volunteer Leader and Steven Haynes, the District Volunteer Leader is occupying that role until such appointment is made.
We are currently evolving and the Board is looking at new fund raising opportunities, updating the Website and maintaining the HQ which is so important to enable our Leaders to run the level of programmes which they do. We are currently changing the patio area at the back to enable better storage of key equipment and more flexibility for use of space.
