Scouts Longford Group Reports for FY April 2022 1 March 2023
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
PETER G STERLINI
Lease and Building Development for Longford Scouts HQ
Lease negotiations, for full occupancy of the entire Shippon complex, entered a final stage at end March 2023. The Council appointed a member of their legal team, and a limited number of issues were subjected to ongoing discussion.
The roof replacement for the west portion of the north wing and the creation of a new activity room in the north west corner was completed. The Group volunteers have carried on with internal modifications.
NLHF bid for Longford Park
By end 2023, the NLHF application was in the final stages of business plan development, and activity plan development. The NLHF officers were very supportive, and confidence was high that a strong bid submission would be made in May 2023.
General Items
I reiterate the following message from previous years year. A small minority of Parents / Carers are not paying their subs. The Group will obviously have sympathy with any parents who are in financial difficulty. However, I must remind you that the costs of running the Group are quite large.
On behalf of the Group, I would like to offer thanks to Longford Ward Councillors, and also the chairman and vice chairman of FOLP, Richard Bond and Rick Webb.
Problems of fly-tipping and general vandalism are still occurring. Parents/carers are asked to report any instances they may observe. These issues have been reported to the Community Safety Officer, Ian Underhill, but there appears to be little assistance on offer to deter these issues.
As per last year, may I please ask all parents and carers to have sympathy for the residents of the cottages opposite the headquarters when they are dropping off and collecting children.
Thank you to all involved with the Group (young people, leaders, parents, helpers, Exec, etc). Particular thanks to the GSL, Nick Anderson, for his ongoing, tremendous efforts on behalf of the Group, and to the unsung heroes, Sandie Pitt (secretary) and Rob Partridge (treasurer).
GROUP SCOUT LEADER’S REPORT
NICK ANDERSON
GSL Report
This report highlights the various significant achievements and developments that have defined our journey over the past months. From the establishment of new sections within our group, expanding our capacity to engage with a wider range of young individuals, to the exhilarating return to outdoor activities that have been the essence of scouting, and not to be overlooked, the impressive start of developments of the Ranche – these highlights epitomise the collective commitment and progress that have characterised our scout group.
It's been really great to see scouting getting back to normal after dealing with COVID. All the different sections have had the chance to go camping again, which is awesome. After all the disruptions, it's like getting back to our usual fun and adventure.
As of January 2023 our numbers have increased on our pre pandemic numbers (thanks to the opening of two new sections) - we’ve got a total of 220 young people in the group. 54 Beavers, 81 Cubs, 62 Scouts and 23 Explorers.
Last year, we took an inspiring step forward by launching Beaver and Cub sections on Saturdays, aiming to provide access to scouting for members of the Muslim community who might face weekday scheduling conflicts. This incredible expansion was made possible thanks to a group of dedicated new volunteers who underwent extensive training to facilitate these sections. Witnessing the opening of these sections at the beginning of the year was truly heartwarming, as we embraced the opportunity to offer scouting experiences to more young people in our community, fostering inclusivity and diversity at the core of our scouting values.
Reflecting on the past year, one of the most gratifying experiences has been observing a group of Explorer Scouts making the transition from their roles as young leaders to stepping into adult volunteers across various sections within our group. This accomplishment truly underscores the importance of the Young Leaders Scheme in nurturing capable and dedicated individuals. The seamless progression of these former young leaders into adult roles not only exemplifies their personal growth but also showcases the invaluable contributions they bring to our scouting community.
Over the past year, remarkable progress has been achieved in the development of the Ranche. Notably, we have successfully transformed previously unused space
acquired from the council into a new, purposeful room. This expansion marks a significant milestone, as it substantially amplifies our capabilities to enrich the young people's experiences within our programme Additionally, we have connected this new room by knocking through internal walls, creating seamless internal access. As we move into the upcoming year, it's important to acknowledge that our journey continues. The tasks ahead are numerous, and we eagerly welcome any assistance that can be extended. Your support in these endeavors not only furthers the physical transformation but also enhances the opportunities we can provide to the young people in the group!
Exec Team
Once more, our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Peter Sterlini, who serves as the Chairperson and remains dedicated to collaborating with the council on lease matters. His instrumental role in advancing the creation of the new space at the Ranche over the past year has not gone unnoticed. A special acknowledgment also extends to Rob Partridge, who dutifully carries on as the treasurer, and Sandra Pitt, who admirably fulfills the role of secretary.
Adverts
Remember, our scout group thrives because of dedicated volunteers, these are all people just like you. As a purely volunteer-driven group, your involvement as parents is what truly makes a difference. Without your essential support, crafting an exceptional programme becomes a challenge. We invite parents to consider lending a hand as occasional helpers, even if it's just once a month – your contribution goes a long way. Moreover, we're actively seeking individuals to help us with driving our minibuses for evening events, camps, and other important outings. Your commitment to our scout group, as the heart of our community, ensures the success of a vibrant and enriching experience for all involved.
If you can help, in any way, please email info@longfordscouts.org.uk
Summary
Looking back on the past year, I am deeply grateful for the unwavering dedication of our volunteer leaders. They are the heartbeat of our group, infusing it with life and vitality. Their selfless commitment has allowed the young members of our group to partake in a diverse array of activities that shape their growth. It's truly remarkable to see these exceptional individuals, who juggle demanding work and family responsibilities, generously devote their time to our Group and your children. No amount of words can adequately convey my gratitude.
As we venture into the new year, a pivotal thought arises – how can our amazing group of parents actively participate to build the success of our group? After all, this
is your scout group - our aspirations for the year are ambitious, particularly concerning the ongoing refurbishment of the Ranche. In this journey, any form of assistance is invaluable. Whether it's lending a hand in decorating, tackling DIY tasks, or contributing to fundraising efforts, every bit counts.
TREASURER’S REPORT ROBERT PARTRIDGE
Treasurers Report 2022/23
Fundraising and Donations
-
Another successful Bonfire night raised £1,700 (plus £500 from a parenthelper corporate matched fundraising)
-
The annual Bedding Plant sales raised £1170
-
The Group also received some charitable donations and a private donation totalling nearly £8000
Ranche Renovations
-
Further renovation work was carried on in the new room and the wider courtyard including
-
Completion of the new room renovation
-
Fixtures in the new room; fire & alarms, new windows and doors
-
Clearing and preparing the courtyard and the veranda
-
This work was funded by a combination of donations, annual fundraising, giftaid and a small balance deficit from the previous year.
Membership and subs
-
There was a gradual increase in members throughout the year - from circa 200 to circa 230. This was matched with a gradual increase in subs paid throughout the year.
-
GiftAid paid back this year increased after a drop the previous year following the drop in members (and hence subs) during covid. Giftaid should increase again next year now that the membership numbers have risen.
-
Capitation – the amount we give to the Scout Association per group member – increased for the third year running. Again we absorbed this cost without an increase to subs but will likely need to increase subs in autumn 2023.
-
We are grateful for the regular subs payments from parents/carers that allow us to cover ‘base’ running costs and group programme costs – allowing fundraising and grants to be channelled into major projects such as the
Ranche renovation.
Equipment and Training
-
Approx £2100 as spent on scouting equipment including:- extensive tent repairs and replacement parts, axe throwing gear, cooking utensils, and storage.
-
Leader training was also funded for archery.
End of Year Balances
The group accounts had a deficit this year of £4,000 which resulted from additional outlays to support the north-wing and courtyard renovation. However, the overall group balance for year end is a still a healthy £65,000.
BEAVER REPORT
KEITH CHADBOURNE
This is the 21[ST] Beaver Report and probably the last I have written since starting to help with Beavers. All the Colonies have a direct link into a Cub Pack. We started this year with 3 Colonies and finished with 3. But the Saturday Colony has different Leaders and sometimes a slightly different programme though the Leaders are invited to the Planning Meetings and can pick up on our planned activities. The Monday and Wed Colonies started the year with 24 on the books in each and there is a long Waiting List for all three Colonies. The Saturday Colony have 19 Beavers.
At present there are four Warranted Beaver Leaders and 2 Young Leaders with the Mon & Wed Colonies. There is in addition 2 Section Assistants with the Wed Colony and 1 with the Mon Colony. The Saturday Colony has two Leaders and two Section Assistants. Sometimes it would be useful to have additional help but we have 1 parent who comes down to run activities for both Mon & Wed Colonies on occasions which are a great help. Other parents can be persuaded to help on a casual basis. I think we are giving the youngsters as varied and interesting programme as possible. Badge work has been restricted this year.

There have been a wide range of activities undertaken. To name but a few :- Fire lighting, cooking, learning a song, Fire Drill, Father’s Day Card, Water Games, Litter Pick Meeting Someone from the Community, Treasure Hunt, Teamwork Challenge, Teddy Bear’s Picnic & Log Chew, Bulb Planting, Football Themed Evening, Fire Prevention, Diwali, Night Hike, Space Activities Badge, Scottish Activities, Health & Fitness Activity Badge, Chinese New Year, Bird Feeder, Indoor Sports, St David’s Day, Invent a Machine, Problem Solving, Mother’s Day Craft, Easter Baking. In addition the Beavers have made things and played games. When possible we have held our meetings out of doors making use of the facilities in the park. Some Beavers also took advantage of the District run Christmas visit to Antz in Your Pantz.
Thank you to all those parents & Leaders who have helped over the last twelve months and thank you in advance to all those who will be helping in the next twelve months even if at this moment in time you do not know that you will be “volunteering” to help. Scouting is very much a team effort and I am very lucky to have such a very good team. I certainly am not very good at craft work and have limited computer skills but others in the team are gifted in those respects. The result is three good Beaver Colonies; but then I am biased and I would say that wouldn’t I.
Thank you one and all and let’s hope that the next year see good progress with all three Colonies.

SCOUT REPORT
NICK ANDERSON
The Scout Section is now around the 60 mark and we continue to run a two week rotating programme to help us manage the numbers at each activity. Another year over - we have continued to run a balanced (but very active) programme covering a varied range of activities including axe throwing, outdoor skills, hikes, fire lighting, first aid, computer skills to name a few.
On a camping front we had two weekend camps, one at TattonPark Scout Camp and a Weekend Indoor camp at Hebden Bridge we also attended the group camp in June. For our Summer Camp we went to Yorkshire near Grassington. The campsite provided an excellent base right on the river and allowed for plenty of water activities to take place. The Scouts managed to have great fun and take part in Kayaking, orienteering, hiking. The week was finished off with caving a qualified instructor and crawling through crevices and holes underground!
It has been a busy year for badge work with the young people attaining the following:
| Challenge | Staged and Activity |
|---|---|
| Adventure: 22 | Hobbies: 26 |
| Teamwork: 31 | Local Knowledge: 24 |
| Outdoors: 12 | Physical Recreation: 25 |

Running a fantastic program isn't always possible without the help of parents - Thanks to all the parents that have helped out with running activities for the troop, whether it was turning up to nights hike or bike rides, your help is greatly received! We're actually hoping to get more people on board, even if you can only pitch in once a month. Honestly, any kind of help would be absolutely amazing!
Without parental help we wouldn’t be able to run such an active programme for your young People. However we are always in need of people to help out. No matter how big or small it is always appreciated. If you think you can help the troop please email to scouts@longfordscouts.org.uk
EXPLORER REPORT JOSH BOYD
The section has demonstrated significant progress and stability, with a commendable regular attendance of 20 enthusiastic individuals. This achievement reflects the dedication and commitment of our three core leaders, Edna, Terri, and Josh, who have been instrumental in delivering a high-quality program for our young participants.
During the reporting period, we made a deliberate shift towards incorporating more badge work-focused activities within the section. This decision was driven by two primary factors. Firstly, leader availability has been a recurring challenge for the section, and introducing badges provides structured frameworks that lighten the load for our volunteers. Secondly, our young participants have expressed a desire to pursue higher-level awards such as Platinum and Diamond. Therefore, we have responded to their aspirations by aligning activities with badge work. This approach has empowered our Explorers to actively plan their program each month, resulting in increased engagement and greater enthusiasm.
While we did encounter some leader turnover in the past 12 months, I am pleased to report that we have made significant progress and achieved stability in the first two quarters of 2023. Notably, we have successfully attracted new Explorers from outside our group, demonstrating our ability to deliver a compelling program that appeals to young people beyond our immediate network. Additionally, we have made substantial strides in completing Explorer Activity badges, an accomplishment that had eluded us for over two years. We also anticipate that 10 young individuals will be eligible to receive their Platinum award this year, pending the completion of their DofE Bronze requirements. Finally, our commitment to camping and outdoor activities is evident in the 15+ nights away we have organized over the past year.
While we celebrate our achievements, it is crucial to acknowledge the key risks that persist within the section. Leadership support remains a critical challenge for the Explorer section, as the age group often seeks independence from parents, making it difficult to find "parent helpers" among our volunteers. Moreover, the nature of Explorers, with its emphasis on adventurous activities, requires leaders with a diverse skill set to deliver impressive experiences. We must also consider the health and well-being of our volunteers, recognizing that they have their own professional commitments outside our regular meetings. While it is natural to have high expectations, we must strike a balance between maximizing their contributions and ensuring they do not feel overwhelmed or compelled to step away from their roles.
Another risk we must address is our reliance on the Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) program, which is crucial for attaining top awards. While we are actively exploring avenues to collaborate more closely with the District to enhance our DofE offerings, it is imperative to acknowledge that any failure in delivering on this front would severely impact our ability to achieve the highest accolades.
Looking ahead to the 23/24 period, I am pleased to report that the section is in a healthy position following a year marked by various challenges. Our focus remains
on delivering a robust program encompassing badge work and equipping our participants with essential life skills. However, it is imperative that our leadership team remains vigilant about the risks we have identified and adopts a proactive approach in managing them.
In closing, I extend my gratitude to all the young people who have shown their commitment and effort by attending week in, week out. Their enthusiasm is the driving force behind our success. Additionally, I would like to express my appreciation to our dedicated volunteers, whose invaluable contributions have made a significant impact on the growth and development of our Explorer section.
