Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Despite the ongoing problems of the COVID pandemic, the Group were able to continue to provide a stimulating programme for the young people. Where necessary, the meetings were held virtually and when permitted by the Scout Association, meetings were held in the grounds of the Group Headquarters. As the restrictions reduced, the group returned to indoor meetings, although with social distancing. The members continued to pass from one section to the next, whilst the Scout section passed the young people to the District Explorer Scout Unit. Whilst many activities had to be modified, the group still managed to hold virtual camps where young people slept in their gardens
