Review of 2025

Group Lead Volunteer’s review of the Scouting Year 2025

It was in the Summer of 2019 that I volunteered to become the temporary Group Scout Leader at Sale Central (for 6 months or so), maybe I misread and actually joined Sicily Central because that 6-month period seems never ending.

Throughout that time, there have been literally hundreds of young Salians who have passed through our doors, hopefully they will each carry a little piece of Sale Central with them for the rest of their lives. Because that is the product that Sale Central manufacture … happy memories … of weekly meetings, weekend camps, experiencing activities that may have once been outside of their comfort zones, the thrill of overcoming a fear, of growing confidence and of meeting friends who think and act like you do.

At the heart of the Sale Central machine are its volunteer Leaders, some original parts still exist, some have been added to replace worn out cogs … but the machine just keeps on rolling, we are toying with the idea of purchasing a 3D printer so that we can manufacture new cogs for the machine, I cannot begin to imagine the difference that we could make to the lives of so many young people if we could only attract more volunteers. We could re-open an Explorer Unit to cater for 14-18 year olds, we could open a Squirrel dray to begin changing the lives of those as young as 4 years old, we could open another Cub Pack and another Scout Troop to ensure that our current cohort of young members are guaranteed a place as they move on from their current sections. Who knows, we may even be able to afford our current volunteers a week off!

Part of my remit when joining the group was to build processes and procedures, as a registered charity we are obligated to apply an increasingly stringent level of governance to the running of the group and again, it is down to that core of our volunteers to ensure our compliance. It was not my intention to single out any individual from this huge team effort, but I really cannot fail to mention the amazing work of a few people, our former Beaver Leader, who became our new (but not new) Group Treasurer, Pete (Hawkeye) Tranter, his attention to detail and his effort have transformed the financial prospects of the group completely, I also cannot fail to mention Mr Sale Central, Colin Lea, the hardest working man that I know, with a heart as big as a Scout Hut, he never seeks the attention, he just gets on with it.

I could quite literally cite reason after reason why every single one of our amazing volunteer team deserves a special mention, but I am going to conclude my special mentions by thanking each and ever volunteer for your friendship, your commitment, your service, and your spirit. I know that you all know how amazing you are, but it never hurts to be told just how much you are truly appreciated, not just by me but by every single life that you touch upon.

An incredible thing about the Scout movement is that it is completely run by volunteers (with the exception of a few paid positions at head office), and our young members and their families rarely get to see the huge number of volunteers who make it all happen, sure they will see their section team of 3 or 4 people, but even at Group level, there are volunteers working behind the scenes like a Group Treasurer and a Group Chair, we then have our District volunteers, some of whom are affiliated to their respective groups whilst others remain focussed only on the District, we then have County volunteers, Regional volunteers and many National volunteers … without them, the whole deck of cards would likely come tumbling down

Sale Central Scout Group

Annual Report for Scouting Year 1/1/2025 – 31/12/2025

I will leave it to our Section Leaders to talk about the amazing events of 2025 and I give special mention to just one, our Family Camp of 2025, it is always a mammoth team effort to make a Sale Central Family Camp work and 2025 was no different … a fun (and eventful) camp which became a catalyst for an executive decision that Family Camps will now be held every other year with alternative events being held in the years between.

I am going to close this with my usual appeal, to every adult who is not already volunteering in some capacity or other, do it!

That voice inside your head saying “I don’t have time” … it’s lying to you, I didn’t have time, Colin didn’t have time, Pete, Ros, Rachel didn’t have time, practically every person involved in Scouting “didn’t have time” … and yet they took the plunge, and I think I can safely say that none of them regret it, because we make the time, and when we do … the rewards are like no other, and the more people who step forward, the lighter the payload on all of us, I was seriously considering stepping down from my role this year, not because I dislike it, but because I am tired of doing four or five different roles due to a lack of volunteers, amongst the reasons why I couldn’t step down are the very people who would suffer if just one cog in the machine failed … our young members, also my brothers and sisters in our great Scouting family … “I don’t have time … to give it all up”.

Group Treasurers Report on Group Finances for FY2025

The Group remains in a stable financial position at the end of the 2025 financial year, with total funds (excluding fixed assets) carried forward of £51,099 compared with £37,161 in the previous year.

During the year, the Group’s primary sources of income continued to include membership subscriptions and the hiring out of our two huts, which collectively brought in £42,366. There was also a significant rebate of £11,776 from renegotiating contracts with our utility suppliers. Total incoming resources for the year were £64,961.

Our expenditure for the year totalled £51,023. Major areas of spending included programme activities across all sections, campsite and activity costs, insurance, utilities, leader training, ongoing maintenance of our huts, and outgoing membership fees to District and the wider Scouting structure.

Membership across the Group has remained strong. This has helped maintain subscription income, although rising inflation has continued to place pressure on operating costs. Our renegotiated utility costs (excluding the rebate) were half of those incurred in 2024, and the Group continues to work hard to ensure both that hut hiring activity remains high and costs are effectively managed. This helps the Group in containing the rate of membership subscriptions as far as possible, so that young people can benefit from a Scouting experience while remaining affordable for families.

The Group continues to benefit enormously from the generosity of parents, supporters, local businesses, and volunteers who give both their time and financial support. On behalf of the Trustees, I would particularly like to thank everyone involved in volunteering and organising fundraising events throughout the year, as these contributions can make a substantial difference to what the Group can offer our young people.

Looking ahead, the Trustees consider the Group to be financially secure. Priorities for the coming year include building maintenance, the gradual replacement of ageing equipment, providing financial resources to all of our Sections, and maintaining sufficient reserves to support future development and unexpected costs.

Finally, I would like to thank all section leaders, volunteers, and fellow trustees for their continued support and careful stewardship of the Group’s resources during the year.

Section Reports

Chetham Beavers

It will come as no surprise that 2025 was another busy year for Chetham Beavers. Over the course of the year, 7 new beavers joined the section and together with our existing beavers we learnt a variety of new skills working towards our challenge and activity badges. 5 beavers were awarded their Chief Scouts Bronze Award, BRAVO beavers! This year we also welcomed a new leader to the team, Joe, but sadly said goodbye to Wyman and his family who were relocating but still remaining in the scouting family. Thank you, “Malak”, for all of the fun.

We started 2025 celebrating the Lunar New Year, followed by learning about aviation and designing our own paper planes. We completed our first aid and safety badges whilst the nights remained cold and dark and a particular highlight for the section was the completion of Chetham's paper mache solar system.

As the weather grew warm, we ventured out of the hut, completing hikes, nature trails, canoeing and built a bug hotel at Woodbourne Scout Hut. We played water games and our brilliant young leaders, Roberto and Max, led us through our health and fitness badge. We introduced the section to a variety of camp crafts including tent building, fire lighting and of course how to roast the perfect s'mores. We visited Dunham Scout camp, completing a nature scavenger hunt

alongside cooking on a campfire which enabled beavers, that weren't quite ready to attend camp, access to an amazing taster in what to expect. Many of our beavers did attend Sale Central Family Camp and were able to put their skills to the test. We all agreed that it was so much fun!

Following the summer holidays, we returned with lots of energy and completed our book readers, experiment and builder badges. We visited the Big Depot and the beavers showed us how brave they were, climbing so high and supporting their friends in the process. We made a wreath which was laid at the Remembrance Day Parade and we were so proud of Chetham's attendance and behaviour. In December we enjoyed Christmas crafts and joined our other beaver sections in a Christmas party which was the perfect way to end the year.

Most importantly we have grown in confidence, made friends and had fun. The leader team would like to thank all of the parents for your support, enabling your children to attend and supporting us run the activities. Finally thank you to the leader team who make all of this possible.

Completed on behalf of the Chetham Leader team by Jen Dunn (Keeo) & Kerryann Banks (Bubbles)

Howard Beavers

For Howard Beavers, the start of the year saw us learning about other countries via food. On week we were making haggis, neeps and tatties, then Italian biscuits and finally we were making fortune cookies! Beavers always love to learn with eating!

In February we had to say goodbye to our Leader Willow. She was an amazing Leader who had a great impact on our section and the mastermind of many fun activities, including Raglan Road Scout Hut’s Halloween spooktacular. It was a blast to have her as part of the team and is greatly missed. So it was Toad, Badger & Ratty going it alone for the rest of the year.

March was an exciting time for us, when we celebrated 50 years of Raglan Road Scout Hut. It was lovely for Howard Beavers and Kilvert Cubs to come together for an evening memories and song.

After the Easter Break the Beavers put their money skills to the test and the weather was so lovely we spent nearly every week outside. We did hikes, games, launched rockets, canoeing on the canal and explored Walton Park for wildlife. Before heading down to Dunham Scout Camp for our last meeting to learn about putting up tents and toasting marshmallows!

After the summer break we were back in the hut and we had two new Young Leaders to join us – Thunder and Lighting. They have been an amazing addition and great help to the Beavers Leaders. Not shying away from their new responsibilities, they led the Beavers through some great wide games and completed the disability awareness activity badge.

We continued to spend time outside, with the Beavers earning the cyclist activity badge, and many attending Family Camp.

We also had a visit from local fountain of knowledge George Cogswell telling the story of the WWII Walton Park air crash, the brave servicemen involved and some local heroes who

Annual Report for Scouting Year 1/1/2025 – 31/12/2025

helped in the aftermath. And one of the Beavers learnt that as the plane came down, it brushed his neighbour’s chimney!

The year ended with plenty of great crafting and a fantastic Raglan Road Scout Hut Christmas party – which again brought together Howard Beavers & Kilvert Cubs!

Sadly, we had to announce at the party that Badger and Ratty were stepping down as leaders in 2026, and if no volunteers are found by easter Howard Beavers will be closing in the Summer…

Pankhurst Beavers

PANKHURST BEAVERS 2025

Over January and February, Pankhurst Beavers welcomed three new Beavers to the colony. International and Health & Fitness badges were started in January with Photographer, Safety and Disability Awareness worked on in February. Some of Pankhurst went to watch the Sale Gang Show in February at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale. March saw us go to the Greek Church of Manchester as part of our Faith badge and also Rock Up, the climbing centre in Trafford Park, as well as lots of badge work on the Air Activities, Hobbies and several challenge badges.

In April we had a number of Beavers representing Pankhurst at the St George’s Day Parade in Worthington Park. Our Young Leader, Caitlin, was awarded her Young Leader Award as well as turning 18. She then did the necessary training and became an Adult Leader with us. We started the term off with one of the parents, who is a personal trainer, setting up a circuit for the Beavers to follow at Walton Park. That was another part of our Health & Fitness badge covered and that was followed by Camp Craft, Cook, International, Explore, Air Activities, Faith, Money Skills, Creative, Cyclist, Gardener and various parts of challenge badges being covered. The Beavers enjoyed canoeing in July, with several parents volunteering to join us for the evening. July also saw Ruby join us as a Young Leader at Pankhurst.

Over the summer holidays we recruited a new leader, Bramble, with his son being one of our new starters in the September. Another Family Camp took place in September, with lots of families joining us at Dunham. We went geocaching in Sale one evening and also had a visit to St Paul’s Church in Sale for our Faith badge. During September Caitlin left us to start her studies at university and our Young Leader Mira also had to leave us due to other commitments. Ruby organised the Autumn and Slightly Spooky Sleepover for October.

Annual Report for Scouting Year 1/1/2025 – 31/12/2025

We worked on some more badges - Emergency Aid, Experiment and Cook in October and had a visit from Cathy and her dog Frankie as part of the Disability Awareness badge. Cathy is a volunteer from the charity Dogs for Good and Frankie trained as an assistance dog. We had another visit from the RNLI in November and again, the Beavers enjoyed dressing up in the uniforms that Gwyn, their education officer, brought along. We made bug hotels as part of our Outdoors badge and finished the term with Christmas crafts and a party that we teamed up with Chetham Beavers for.

The leaders at Pankhurst, very proudly, awarded eight Chief Scout’s Bronze Awards over the course of 2025. Well done to all those that put in the hard work to achieve this amazing award.

Now is the time to thank all the leaders that give up their time to make Pankhurst Beavers the success that it is, so a massive thank you to Echo, Rusty, Hawkeye, Bramble, Ruby and Tom. Not forgetting Caitlin and Mira for all their help at Pankhurst. Also, a great big thank you to all those parents that answered our requests for help at various meetings, it is very much appreciated. We are always looking for more leaders so please let us know if this is something you would be interested in doing.

Kilvert Cubs

KILVERT CUBS 2025

We started 2025 with a trip to Planet Ice in Altrincham for the Cubs to go ice skating. Back at the hut the following weeks we worked on a number of badges – Communicator, Digital Citizen, Artist, International, Astronomer, Pioneer, along with some of our challenge badges. For the Pioneer badge the Cubs had to make rope using different colour wool. Again, we supported members of Sale Central and went to watch the Sale Gang Show in February. Raglan Road Scout Hut was celebrated in March with it being 50 years since it was opened, visitors from Sale District and parents came to see Kilvert Cubs and Howard Beavers sing a song they had been learning. In April we visited St Paul’s Church in Sale, where the Cubs got the chance to ring the bells.

St George’s Day Parade was attended by some of the Cubs and leaders in April and Shere Khan (Caitlin) joined us as an adult leader. Badges covered this term included Naturalist, Pioneer, Communicator, World Faiths, Athletics and several parts of challenge badges. We did a litter pick over at Walton Park in April, had a history evening in July as requested by the Cubs with the subject being World War 1. We also went to Dunham for a backwoods cooking and wide games evening in July. Hathi was awarded her Young Leader Award by Alison Corser in May.

Sale Central Scout Group

Annual Report for Scouting Year 1/1/2025 – 31/12/2025

Shere Khan went off to university in late September, and we had a new Young Leader join us in November, Mowgli (Inigo), who had been a Raglan Cub some years before. Family Camp was a highlight for many at Dunham in September as well. Fire Safety, Scientist, Backwoods Cooking, Road Safety, Photographer and Local Knowledge badges were all worked on over the term. We had a parent come in to go through the photography badge with the Cubs and for the Local Knowledge badge, a previous Raglan Cubs leader Raksha (Sheila) came in to tell us how things in Sale had changed over the years. As part of our Environmental Conservation badge, we visited the Longley Lane Recycling Centre with a tour of the centre and games and questions about recycling. The Emergency Aid badge was started in November and on Bonfire Night the Cubs enjoyed having sparklers. Remembrance Parade was well attended by Kilvert Cubs in November too. In December the Cubs went bowling in Altrincham and the last two weeks of the term we made Christmas crafts and had a joint party with Howard Beavers.

Five Chief Scout’s Silver Awards were given out during 2025, showing a lot of hard work and dedication from the Cubs.

I would like to thank the rest of the leader team (past and present) at Kilvert for all their hard work during 2025 – Toad, Bobtail, Shere Khan, Tiger Lily, Hathi and Mowgli. As well as the leader team, can I also take this opportunity to say thank you to the parents that have helped at meetings or events over the year. We are still looking for more leaders to join us at Cubs so please let us know if you are interested in joining us. Another great year at Kilvert Cubs!

Parker Cubs

2025 was another busy year for Parker Cubs, with a wide range of activities planned. Throughout the year.

The year started with the cubs, doing activities around Chinese New Year, making pancakes, keeping safe around the home, as well as teamwork activities, and night hikes. Pack forums were held so the cubs could help plan their activities.

As the lighter nights approached the cubs enjoyed back to basics such as tent work, litter picks, canoeing, walks around Priory Woods/Sale Water Park, fire lighting, Easter egg hunts, constructing towers out of spaghetti and marshmallows. Over the summer months we also had a tea party to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE day, as well as water fights.

Bike safety was one of the many badges covered, they learnt how to fix punctures, oil chains, how to put chains on, then finished the badge by going to Wythenshawe Park, where they rode around on the cycle track, then finished with the pump track.

Parker cubs also enjoyed Bean and Brush, where they chose a pot then painted them, they also did crafts around Halloween, Remembrance Day and Christmas. They learnt about the importance of recycling, this included making junk models, visit to the Recycling centre at Sharston, and to finish the recycling theme we held a fashion show where they had to make an outfit out of carrier bags in their Sixes.

These are just some of the activities the cubs did, to work towards their badges

Parker cubs attended District events, such as the Gang show, St Georges Day event, and Remembrance Day.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to Zoe, and Connor for your support over 2025, and to all the parents who have stepped in to ensure we could open and run the activities. Also, to Colin and Pete for stepping in and helping when needed, also to the young leaders.

Some cubs also attended family camp at Dunham

Here’s to another 12 months of adventure

Scouts

Sale Central Scouts Section Report 2025

We started the year by getting ready for our Winter Camp with lots of map reading and navigation skills practice. The first camp of the year was actually at Woodbourne Road Scout hut tents were pitched in the garden, there was a campfire with some backwoods cooking, scary stories and of course S’mores. We also used all those skills we had been practicing into good use on a walk round the area

Back in the hut we had a visit from Dylans reptiles where we learnt all about different reptiles and Spiders there were some Scouts (and leaders) who faced their fears head on in this session! We had our annual pancake making session, lots of tasty treats and the scouts did a good job of cooking the pancakes but there were a few failed flip attempts!

We had hoped to put our map and navigation skills into practice at a competition at Bibby’s farm called Pike view but sadly didn’t get a space. Never fear the leaders had a back-up plan and off to Linnet Clough camp we went, the Scouts did a 10 mile mostly uphill hike and really tested those navigation skills in the country. On the Sunday morning the Scouts got to relax a little bit by taking part in rifle shooting.

It wasn’t long after this that 5 of our Scouts participated in their expedition. They had planned the food, the route equipment and the budget. They canoed from Lymm to Warrington and back, cooked all their own food and set up and packed away their tents. The leaders were there but had firmly told the Scouts they were ‘ghost leaders’ so not there to help them. After a day canoeing, they still found the energy to walk down to see the impressive Latchford locks. The

� Page 18 of 26 �

Sale Central Scout Group

Annual Report for Scouting Year 1/1/2025 – 31/12/2025

whole weekend was gorgeous weather and the team all pulled together to make sure they all manged to get home safely and with smiles on their faces.

A few weeks after the expedition we held a presentation evening where we were treated to a brilliant humorous presentation from the Expedition team, which they had designed, all about their time away. We also presented 2 scouts with their Chief Gold Scout badge the highest award they can achieve while in the Scout Section, as well as presenting lots of badges to the scouts for their activities so far that year.

We spent the summer term brushing up on our survival skills with whittling practice, pioneering, fire lighting, Trapping and backwoods cooking. We cemented these skills with a survival camp at Ashworth valley where shelters were built with a tarp and what the Scouts could find in the wood, and the Scouts pioneered a bridge to walk across though that could have been a little sturdier! On this camp the Scouts also got to try a crossbow shooting.

We also attended the District St Georges Day always a nice parade with lots of stalls and activities afterwards. We also started fundraising for Poacher jamboree international camp by holding a BBQ stall at Sale Lions Father’s Day parade. Sadly, we then shortly found out that we hadn’t got a place on Poacher, but that story will be continued in next year’s report. We rounded up the term with a visit to Depot Climbing in Wythenshawe where some Scouts it was the first time climbing for others they were developing skills, everyone learnt something new and improved throughout the session.

Going into the winter term our focus was on building a chariot for the upcoming Chariot Camp. One of our leaders had the somewhat seemingly crazy idea to build the chariots out of cardboard. But amazingly with lots of glue and yacht paint we did end up with 2 chariots. There was much excitement about this upcoming camp, then in the week before we were all keeping an eye on the weather forecast as it appeared a storm was about to appear. Storm Amy did appear and Bispham Hall and the leaders had to make the difficult but sensible decision not to camp on the weekend. However we they manage to run a condensed race on the Sunday, our Scouts did us proud the cardboard chariots survived even the water obstacle in fact they floated! The thing that let us down was the wheelbase, so we have ideas to improve on for the next time we enter. Though we will be starting from scratch as we had a ceremonial burning of those chariots on the day.

Back to the hut and we spent an evening doing some Halloween and Bonfire cooking followed by a visit from the Police to talk to the Scouts about drugs, alcohol and keeping safe as part of their skills challenge badge. We also presented another 3 Scouts with their Gold Award.

The year of 2025 was quite a busy year as you can see but it wasn’t over yet as we attended the Remembrance Day Parade in Sale and then finished the whole year with a fun and sometimes competitive Bowling trip. There was a lot packed into this year lots of memories were made as well as new skills learned and this would not be possible without the constant commitment of the leadership team and the support of our parents so a heartfelt thank you goes out to you all .
