Structure, Governance and Management

Birkenhead District Scout Council’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. Birkenhead District Scout Council is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts.

The Trustees, the District Executive Committee, are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) of The Scout Association at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), either by election or approval of their nomination; other Trustees may be co-opted during the year to serve until the next AGM.

Birkenhead District Scout Council, which is an educational charity, is managed by the District Executive Committee, the members of which are responsible for complying with the legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping 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, DESC and DSNC as well as those Nominated and Elected. Members of the Executive Committee complete 'Essential Information for Executive Committee' training within the first 5 months of joining the committee.

4

The District Executive Committee exists to support the District Commissioner in meeting their responsibilities and to provide support for the charity.

Risk and Internal Control

The Trustees have in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include two authorised signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered.

Safety, Safeguarding and First Response

During this reporting period there have been no significant incidents or near misses to report on and therefore no reports have been made to the Scout Information Centre or Unity.

At the time of writing 96.81% of our Adult Members were in date with their ongoing Safety Training. In relation to ongoing Safeguarding training 96.41% of members were current. 85.26% of our Adult Members were in date for their First Response training when this report was compiled. These figures are showing excellent performance for Safety and Safeguarding, and we don’t ever envisage being able to achieve 100% due to having new joiners etc. However, there is some work to train nearly 15% of our Adults in First Response or First Aid, this work has been ongoing since the report was compiled and plans are in place to monitor compliance with all 3 courses moving forward.

Achievements and Performance

During this reporting year we were able to expand our digital services on our Microsoft 365 platform to allow all meetings to continue as normal to encourage the sharing of information and best practice.

We have been able to ringfence over £6000 for our strategic work to Build a Stronger Birkenhead and have launched our interim strategy #StrongerBirkenhead to focus our efforts on building back better from the COVID pandemic.

To meet our statutory responsibilities, we commissioned Asbestos Surveys on all premises owned by Birkenhead Scouts and have undertaken remedial works.

We launched a ‘paid for’ scheme for ScoutsRAM for all Groups within the District to help with compliance on our rules for written risk assessments.

Objectives and Activities

The purpose of Scouting

Scouting exists to actively engage and support Young People in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

The Values of Scouting

As Scouts we are guided by these values:

The Scout Method

Scouting takes place when Young People, in partnership with Adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and:

Introductory Remark

The last few months have been challenging for all with significant restrictions on face to face Scouting due to COVID-19 restrictions. It was not just Scouting that was impacted but also daily routines with home schooling, working from home, restrictions on going out, safeguarding the most vulnerable etc. A big well done to all – despite all the difficulties, there were virtual camps put on, online meetings, a number of badges completed and some very strong online activities such as escape rooms followed by many Groups offering face to face Scouting with a whole new set of guidance on social distancing!

Welcome from the Chair of Trustees

Matt has asked for brief reports this year, but I hope he will forgive me for the length of mine because it is my last one before stepping down as Chair.

None of us realised in March of 2020 the full extent of the impact that Covid 19 would have on all our lives. The ‘lockdown’ situation we found ourselves in turned out to be traumatic for many people and the worsening situation regarding hospital admissions and deaths was very frightening. The operation of numerous charities was affected and sadly many ceased to exist through lack of funding.

Through necessity many media platforms were born e.g. Zoom and Microsoft Teams and gradually we all mastered the technical side (even me) and SCOUTING ON ZOOM was born. The youngsters took to it like a duck to water and the Leaders within the District began to rise to the challenge. Who would have thought that so many varied programmes could be held on zoom- cake in a mug, pizza baking, quizzes, pioneering using spaghetti and strawberry laces, interest badges and many more. Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers all began to look forward to their section zoom- how hard our Leaders worked to carry out all the things they did, and I would like to personally thank each and every one for their determination to provide Scouting no matter what circumstances prevailed. I believe we have youngsters attending outdoor activities now who joined through the zoom meetings. There is obviously a long way to go before the District recovers from the pandemic however there is no doubt in my mind that it will and grow stronger over the next couple of years under the leadership of Matt and his Team, the determination of the Group Leaders and the support given to them all by the District Executive Committee.

To help children develop’ skills for life’ is to give them something very special and to do that through fun and laughter is the best way. When I look back to when I was a Cub Instructor at 16 years old, little did I think I would still be around over 50 years later!

My thanks to Matt and the Team for putting up with me, PJ for sorting out my IT melt down occasions and all the Trustees that I have worked with over the years. The biggest thanks go again to all the Leaders within this District. I am very proud to be a member of Birkenhead District and I will continue to support Scouting in the District in any way I can.

Joan Quaile, Chair of Trustees

Reflections of the District Commissioner

What a 12 months this has been. So, my reflections from the year in question are mostly guided and focussed around the pandemic and our response to it locally and nationally. Over these 12 months I have been genuinely astounded by the determination , grit and resilience of our Adult Volunteers and Young People. Our Adult Volunteers took what they knew about practical Scouting and were able to turn this into engaging Zoom sessions, as well as having to change the way they live and work. Our Young People have battled through being schooled at home, not being able to socialise but have still wanted to join in on their own Scouting adventure. I’ve been amazed at what I have seen and joined in with over the last 12 months.

It would also be remis of me to not mention our focus on compliance with our Ongoing Learning training for Adult Volunteers. Safety is at the heart of everything we do in Scouts, and it is certainly our number 1 priority. During the first lockdown we had a massive push on Safety and Safeguarding training, and we were able to get over 100 volunteers through those 2 training packages. At the end of the reporting year up until present day we are now focussing on First Response and First Aid training. These 3 ongoing learning modules are key to ensuring ourselves and our Young People get the very best Scouting experience. Planning effectively to make sure we control the risk but, should something go wrong, we know how to respond.

We’ve also launched our interim strategy called, #StrongerBirkenhead which is looking to Build a Stronger Birkenhead for us all as we come out of the pandemic. We’ve seen Zoom sessions as part of our plan to help engage existing and new members, we’ve seen advertising campaigns and banners pop up all over the District, we’re moving into the phase of supporting specific areas grow and develop Scouting as well as the District leading some engaging sessions practically to enhance our programme provision.

Finally, I wanted to end on a cliché and say Thank You . I appreciate all your time, effort and dedication more than words can ever express. Seeing the enthusiasm, energy and growth of all the Young People we work with is genuinely incredible. Each and every Adult Volunteer and Young Leader should be incredibly proud of what you do week in, week out. Thank You.

Matt Jones, District Commissioner

Hello from the District Youth Commissioner

In what has been a hugely challenging year for us all, not just in Scouting but in our lives as well, it has been truly amazing to see how we have coped with everything the pandemic has thrown at us. This year Scouting has learned to evolve and some of the results have been brilliant to see.

We have been forced to zoom our way into the future of Scouting with online sessions and virtual meetings. These have been a great success enabling us to meet with our friends and have fun and create memories whilst staying safe.

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, visiting Groups hasn’t been easy but through social media I have seen so many young people gaining invaluable experiences, keeping on Scouting and shaping their futures through the lockdown periods.

Lastly this is my final report as District Youth Commissioner, and I would like to take this chance to thank Matt and everybody who has supported me in the role and given me so much opportunity. I have learned so much about the District and had the chance to meet so many fantastic Young People who are the future of Scouting in Birkenhead.

I am confident that Young People in Birkenhead are more aware that they have it in their power to shape their own Scouting Adventures.

Rory Coleman, District Youth Commissioner

Sectional Updates

ADC Beaver Scouts

Things have been a little quiet over the last 12 months after an amazing first 12 months in the role of ADC Beaver Scouts. I had been busy building relationships with Section Leaders across the District and now as we are coming out of the pandemic, I am really looking forward to reviewing how we support Leaders and GSL’s moving forward and what we can do together as a District to provide amazing experiences for all our Young People.

Amy Davis, ADC Beaver Scouts

ADC Cub Scouts

What a strange year we have had. It’s been amazing to see Groups adapt to virtual Scouting and still deliver a great programme, with lots of badges being awarded.

As a District team we’ve continued with our termly Leader meetings for Cubs, from these we were able to offer some District Zoom sessions. We had one all about St Patrick’s day - where we learnt all about the story of St Patrick, we made a four-leaf clover, we also learnt the story of the Giant’s Causeway.

Our second one on the 31st of March was all about making a cake in a mug. We learnt about safety in the kitchen and then got to the fun part by mixing ingredients in a mug before using the microwave to turn it into a cake. Thank you for all the support again this year and looking forward to getting back to visiting the Cub packs and seeing everyone.

Emma Fairclough, ADC Cub Scouts

District Explorer Scout Commissioner

The last 12 months have been something that none of us could have predicted. This time last year I think many of us thought we would have been back to something more 'normal' by now.

Throughout this unusual time, the provision from the Explorer leadership team has been phenomenal. They have remained committed throughout providing fantastic virtual sessions and when we were finally allowed, they happily returned to much needed face to face meetings. It was fantastic to see how Scouting continued at home with Explorers achieving their Platinum awards during this time.

Both Viking and Wizard have supported their sections throughout the pandemic which is shown in the most recent census numbers maintaining from the previous year. I could not be prouder of the District Explorer Leadership team and their ongoing support to Building a Stronger Birkenhead. There is much to look forward to in the next 12 months, such as working weekends and summer camp at Chamboree. I hope that the next 12 months continues to be as successful as the last as Birkenhead Explorers continue to grow and adapt to the new normal. Here's to an exciting 2021/22.

Sarah Green, District Explorer Scout Commissioner

District Scout Network Commissioner

Unfortunately, Network has been quiet for the last 12 months for a lot of us! Due to the government restrictions, we haven’t been able to meet face to face, although several Zoom sessions have taken place with varied success.

Networkers continue to help at their own groups, which is fantastic even if we as network were not able to get out!

The future holds some exciting things for network, and as we hopefully have been out of the national lockdown by the time everyone is reading this, network will hopefully continue to grow and strive!

Daniel Richards, Acting District Scout Network Commissioner

Sub-Committee Updates

Gang Show Business

We should be writing this with all the news of how fabulous our 2021 show was - and of course it would have been had COVID not put a stop to it.

Gang Show, like the rest of Scouting, has been quietly working in the background and keeping in touch with our “Gang” both the existing cast and support teams.

The Committee met regularly on Zoom at the beginning of Lockdown to try and plan our next steps but mainly to have a catch up and make sure we were all safe and well.

Whilst our Zoom calls fizzled out, we kept in touch by phone and on much needed, socially distanced walks and talks when we were allowed.

Gang Show 2021 didn’t happen, and realistically our next show is most likely to be 2023. This will give Birkenhead Scouting the much-needed time to rebuild the Groups, which then become our cast and audience, and will ensure we can hopefully get a full run at rehearsals without the uncertainty of the first Post COVID Winter. We will use our time wisely to engage with the current cast, crew and supporters, to promote Gang Show and encourage new members to get involved.

We also need to take some much-needed time to remember the members of our Gang, past and present, who we have sadly lost since our last show. We remember them all with much love and so, so many happy memories.

11

We may be a little later than planned with our next show, but you all know it really will be bigger, better and funnier than ever and will be a much-needed beacon of hope in the crazy times we are all living through.

Denise Durband, Sub-Committee Chair and Graham Lysaght, Producer

Wirral Scout Shop Business

Like everyone the shop has suffered over the last 12 months and apart from a short period in the latter part of 2020 the shop has been closed so not a lot to report. It did give us a chance to get the new till system properly up and running and to sort the stock. This has been done and as we reopen, we are more than ready to welcome our customers back again. As always thanks to Lynne and Margaret for making sure all is ready. They have spent a lot of time, when allowed, making sure the shop is in a good place.

We are happy to say that our staff are keen to return and are going through training to prepare them for our reopening.

As always, I must thank Lynne and Margaret in particular, for the time they have given over the last 12 months and to all the other volunteers who have indicated their willingness to get back to it.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the shop as we move forward and hope that we are through the last of the pandemic and can return to normal.

Dave Price, Sub-Committee Chair

Facilities and IT

During the lockdown period we placed a hold on all non-essential spending to ensure we protected the organisations funds during a period of unknown times. However, we transitioned to lockdown maintenance across our 2 District sites (McLachlan Hall and Birkenhead Scout Centre). We have improved compliance with Safety across both sites undertaking weekly safety and security checks at each location and then worked on ensuring all sites had suitable and sufficient Activity and COVID risk assessments to allow them to safely reopen. Unfortunately, this is my last report as District Centre Manager as I have now handed over the reins to Simon Richards to allow me to focus my time and attention on my young family however, I am remaining on the team as the District Logistics Lead supporting Simon and the wider District team.

Jordan Davies, District Centre Manager

Adult Training and Awards

Things have been steady trying to get historical records updated, as well as getting new records added. Please do email me if your records are not correct, I would really like to get everyone's records the way they should be. My email is lizzie.bridgelock@birkenheadscouts.org.uk

It would be a good time to remind everyone that with most of the courses now online it is a great opportunity to get your training as up to date as possible without having to go over to Liverpool.

Really positive year though people have still engaged and loads of training has been completed. I'm also pleased to say I have proposed plenty of people for their wood beads. So please do let's get as much of this training done to make us higher in the ranking as we are one of the lowest in the Merseyside County. Let’s make 2022 brighter for our Young People!

Active Support Units

General

The Scout Active Support Unit is a group of adult members of the Scout Association who are not able to dedicate time every week to assist at a Group, Colony, Pack or Troop but are willing to assist at events on an occasional basis. Despite ‘Covid’. this year has seen our numbers remain stable. There have been a few new members added and a small number deleted but this is due to the way that members with more than one role are listed on Compass.

Whilst we are not called on for a huge number of events in any year, this year there have been no significant events requiring additional support. However, A.S.U. members have assisted in a significant amount of maintenance work and renovation at both District Headquarters and McLachlan Hall.

This leads to my appeal…. If you are organising an event, please consider involving the A.S.U. members at an early stage. The earlier I know that you want us to help, the more likely it is that I will find people to help you.

When regular scouting activities are in full flow again, if you are not able to assist at a group, with a regular weekly commitment but think you may be able to assist with the A S U, on an occasional basis then please get in touch. As an A S U member, you will be a full member of the Scout Association and therefore, as well as being able to attend the events we assist with, you are also able to take part in other events in the District and your membership counts towards length of service awards.

Simon Richards, Active Support Unit Manager

Archery

Unfortunately, due to the national rules during the pandemic and then the Archery UK rules we’ve not been able to safely run Archery sessions for the District over the last 12 months however… the team are now getting refreshed and re-permitted in order to bring back the amazing Archery sessions that you all love and have clearly produced some amazing GB Talent from! Well Done to Patience Wood on her achievements so far!

Jane Richards, Archery Lead

Our Members

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have seen a dramatic downturn of just over 30% in membership this year after, as demonstrated below, several years of membership growth. We are confident that since restarting the majority of our Sections and Groups that Youth Membership in particular has begun to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels and so we are hopeful that with natural growth and the growth-related activities we are undertaking as part of our #StrongerBirkenhead strategy we will see good recovery over the next 12 to 24 months.

Unfortunately, during the last 12 months we have sadly lost several members who have all gone home. Please join with us in remembering them.

BIRKENHEAD DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

MARCH 2021

BIRKENHEAD DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31.03.2021

1. The Basis of the Accounts and Trustees' Approval: The Accounts for the financial year to 31st March 2021 have been prepared on a "Receipts and Payments" basis with a Statement of Assets and Liabilities at that date. These comply with the appropriate legal requirements and are as approved by the Trustees at a meeting on 17/11/2022 .

2. Fund Accounting: Funds held by the Charity are either:

3. Payments: The payment of National and County membership fees had to be delayed last year due to a large number of delayed receipts from Groups, as cheques were inaccessible due to lockdown restrictions. Two sets of membership fee payments are therefore included in this year’s accounts. There was some expenditure this year specifically related to reopening after lockdown. No major capital expenditure projects were undertaken this year.

4. Receipts: As in previous years one of the major sources of income was Membership fees collected, in late March, from groups based on the number of young people in that Group. Significant income was also received from Wirral Borough Council in the form of Covid support and reopening grant money, our thanks to HM Treasury for their welcome support during this difficult period. We also received two significant unrestricted donations during the year for which we are very grateful.

5. Development Fund: The fund is available for making loans and/or grants to Scout Groups for development projects and for purchasing new equipment.

6. Investment (CCLA Accumulation Units): In the year there was a pleasing growth in value as global equity markets recovered from the sharp decline experienced at the outset of the pandemic.

I would like to thank Matthew Jones for assisting in the collection of Membership fees, Fiona Fraser for agreeing to replace me as District Treasurer following my retirement as trustee and our independent Examiner, Mrs Anne Finnegan for all her help inspecting the following accounts.
