Highlights for the year
The financial situation of the group improved over the reporting year and is due to the 2 final Covid19 grants received from Chester West and Chester (CWAC) Borough Council and numerous grants and donations received from local businesses. Many of the donations followed news that the Scout hut had suffered its first ever break in, resulting in damage to the building interior and equipment. We also had another successful bedding plant sale.
Following the end lockdown and a return to normal scouting activities, membership numbers and subsequent annual subscription payments have shown a steady increase. This is due to a positive response to a local campaign to attract new members across Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
