**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Section B – Structure, governance and management 

The Group's governing documents are those of the 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. 

The Group is a trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts. 

The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association. 

The Group is managed by the Group Executive Committee, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout Group which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with 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 Acting Group Scout Leader, individual section leaders (if opted to take on the responsibility), together with a facilities team member, a fundraising team member and a Quartermaster.  The Committee meets every 3 months. 

Members of the Executive Committee complete 'Essential Information for Executive Committee' training within the first 5 months of joining the committee. 

This Group Executive Committee exists to support the Group Scout Leader in meeting the responsibilities of the appointments and is responsible for: 

- The maintenance of Group property; 

- The raising of funds and the administration of Group finance; 

- The insurance of persons, property and equipment; 

- Group public occasions; 

- Assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support; 

- Appointing any sub committees that may be required; 

- Appointing Group Administrators and Advisors other than those who are elected. 

- Ensuring all staff are paid fairly, in line with employment law 

- Ensuring Conflict of Interest declarations are completed by all trustees and reviewed as appropriate. 

## **Risk and Internal Control** 

The Group Executive Committee has identified the major risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate against them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are: 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Damage to the building, property and equipment. 

The Group would use the second site or request the use of buildings, property and equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the church, community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigate against permanent loss. 

Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. 

The Group through the membership fees contributes to the Scout Associations national accident insurance policy. The group also has group insurance for personal accident and medical expenses insurance for non-member helpers and supporters. Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. 

## Reduced income from fund raising. 

The Group is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily or permanently. 

## Reduction or loss of leaders. 

The group is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. 

## Reduction or loss of members. 

The Group provides activities for all young people aged 6 to 14. If there was a reduction in membership in a particular section or the group as whole then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure of the Group. 

The group has in place systems of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all payments and comprehensive insurance policies to ensure that insurable risks are covered. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Section C- 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: 

Integrity - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. 

Respect - We have self-respect and respect for others. 

Care - We support others and take care of the world in which we live. 

Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. 

Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends. 

## **The Scout Method** 

Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on thevalues of Scouting and: 

- enjoy what they are doing and have fun 

- take part in activities indoors and outdoors 

- learn by doing 

- share in spiritual reflection 

- take responsibility and make choices 

- undertake new and challenging activities 

- make and live by their Promise 

Summary of the main activities in relation to these objectives 

During the year all Sections have offered a range of activities to the membership as detailed in the following annual reports: 

## Chairperson’s Report **:** 

This year saw 2nd Stamford scouting move from virtual meetings to face to face activities. The leaders again handled the transition marvellously well and supported the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts through these changes. The children responded positively and managed to earn a wealth of badges, including some practical based skills which had been more challenging to achieve during online meetings. We have also been able to make the most out of our wonderful outdoor space with the addition of a marquee which allowed many meetings to go ahead outside throughout the winter. 

The new HQ sub-committee have continued their hard work moving forward the exciting plans for a new building for 2nd Stamford scouting. This year the committee submitted the ‘Pre-App’ application which has successfully been approved. We can now move on to submitting the full planning application which takes us another step further on the journey to our fantastic new building. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

We are delighted that the role of Group Scout Leader has been taken up by Jo Tinker. Jo has a wealth of experience and passion for scouting and has already made a considerable difference to how we run as a committee and has a long list of ideas that we know will ensure 2nd Stamford will continue to thrive long into the future. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my role as Chairperson over the last 5 years, watching the young people grow, develop, and achieve greatness with the support of each other and the remarkable leaders. However this is my final report as chair of the Executive Committee as I step down at this AGM. I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the committee for their dedication to scouting. I know they will go on to support the new chairperson in their role. 

I wish 2nd Stamford Scouts all the best for an exciting future and will enjoy watching the group continue to thrive.

## **Contribution by Volunteers** 

Details on the contribution of adults can be found throughout this report. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Group meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education and the advancement of citizenship or community development headings. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Section D     Achievements and Performance 

The Executive Committee in administering the charity has met 5 times during the year. 

## **Group Scout Leader Report** 

It’s been a busy 9 months since I started as GSL, not least because the group has functioned for so long without a dedicated one.  We are extremely lucky to have a great and committed group of leaders who have been shouldering the burden of the whole group for a long time so my main aim has been to get to know everyone and to see where a group approach can be helpful. 

I have primarily been focused on making sure that any group admin can be centralised to relieve our leaders to do what they do best; lead their sections.  By taking over the waiting list, volunteer recruitment and national comms elements I hope I have reduced the amount of emails piling up in inboxes. 

As we move to next year we will start to see some of the benefits of the new leadership team structure where our new volunteers can join a team and become a leader on a more sporadic or occasional basis rather than having to attend every week. In addition we are starting to build up databases of helpers in different areas. This will help to spread the load of all the additional bits of scouting and allow additional focus on events and programming for our youth members. 

I thank the leadership team and exec committee for their help and support as I find my feet in the GSL role and look forward to some of our plans coming to fruition in the coming year. 

Jo Tinker – Group Scout Leader 

## **Quartermaster Report** 

During the year tents have been checked and repaired as necessary. Ongoing repairs needed especially with ageing patrol tents. The fiberglass poles need continual monitoring and replacement. They do not repair safely.  The tents will need replacing and research into suitable air beam tents is ongoing. The expedition tents purchased last year have been well used by both scouts and explorers. We had a large quantity of plastic plates, bowls, mugs, cups and cutlery donated to us giving us plenty for large groups. The stores are to be put on a data base to help leaders understand the kit available. This will be done once the lighting issues in the stores are resolved.

## **Leaders Reports** 

Please see appendix 1 for Leaders individual troop reports. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Section E     Financial Report 

## **Treasurers Report** 

Please see Appendix 2 for final accounts and budget. 

## **Financial Summary** 

The group has made a net income of £16,015.  The main contributors to this are the high membership levels, hirings, fund raising work, Gift Aid and Fund Raising towards the new hut.  The group has had a fantastic year with all sections full throughout the year and an average membership of 90 young people. 

## **Income** 

Fund raising has continued to be strong this year, with over £660 from the SKDC Lottery , and generous individual donations. 

With COVID restrictions the hiring has been limited, however overall the group raised £510. Chutney continues to offer rifle range evenings.  The group is very grateful for all that he does for us.  Miscellaneous hirings, mostly for birthday parties has given us an income of £455.  Both halls and the rifle range are available to hire – please contact Pauline or your section leader if you are interested. 

Gift Aid is a big revenue stream for us and generated an additional income of nearly £2,500. For us to be able to claim this money, we need parents to update the records on OSM, so please can I ask you to double check this for us 

## **Expenses** 

The day to day running and maintenance of the huts cost £3,213 for the year and is our biggest cost. 

Expenditure on equipment was £2400 for the year. 

The cost of badges and neckers totalled £1018 for the year. 

Our online subscriptions have gone up this year with the launch of the new website.  Now that all of our sections are collecting subs through OSM there is an increase in the OSM fees, but this is more than compensated for by the reduction in administration for the section leaders. 

## **Treasurers Role** 

Once again the treasury role has been split between myself and Ann Burrows, her support has continued to be invaluable to myself and the group. I would also like to thank Jan for her continued advice and support. 

Nick Reynolds - Treasurer 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

## Section F     Additional Information 

## **New HQ Update** 

During the past year the committee has been continuing to work with the architects to finalise the design, apply for pre-planning, raise reports and separately, continue to fundraise. 

We worked with the leaders of all sections with 3 layout choices to decide the best ideas that would ensure the best building we can produce. The final design was a mixture of the 3 layouts. Summarizing, the second hall’s footprint was increased, the stores located under the building where the rifle range is now and the kitchen positioning next to the main hall. Once this was finalized, we held a public consultation with our neighbours where they were able to ask questions and raise issues. We were able to respond to any issues before we submitted the pre-application in June 21. 

The report from the planning officer was returned in November and was largely positive, with requests for reports on noise, contamination, access and traffic to be conducted. We added an engineer’s report and completed the asbestos report. All these reports have been returned and the final planning submitted. 

Throughout this time we have continued with fundraising, managing to accrue approximately £90,000. When we receive the final planning permission we will need to have a sound plan in place to apply for grants and funding. 

A huge thank you to all the committee for the work so far, we have achieved a huge amount through very difficult times.

## Appendix 1     Youth Activity 

## **Pegasus Troop** 

41 Scouts, 5 Leaders, 1 Occasional Helpers, 2 young leaders. 6 Chief Scout Gold awards and a Scout selected for the World Jamboree. 

The year started with us still meeting virtually, once a week. We welcomed Mike Ward to the leadership group. Mike is an experienced scout leader who had been posted to RAF Wittering. We put a plan in place to meet on Wednesday and Thursday every week. Mike to lead the Wednesdays and I the Thursdays. This was successful and we were able to hold twice as many meetings and cover more subjects than before. We have not had to hold a virtual meeting since. During part of this year I was unable to attend Scouts due to family bereavement and it is of great credit that Scouts continued seamlessly due to the work of Jan, Jonathan, Mike and Chris with support from many others in the group. 

There was no Stamcamp again this year but we were able to hold 2 expeditions for the most experienced Scouts. We had a weekend camp in the autumn for the whole troop. It was a huge learning event for both the Scouts and the leadership. 

The first expedition was held whilst restrictions on camping were in place. The event was run by the leadership team and Julie Evison Williams, the Explorer leader who helped run the event to enable it to take place, thank you Julie. 

Despite the restrictions placed on us during Covid we managed to award 6 Scouts their Chief Scout Gold Award during this year. This is an outstanding achievement and testament to the outstanding work Jan does for the troop. Congratulations to Harry Merryman, Harry Evison Williams, Huw Ballard, Freddie Brewin, Rory Cullen and Niamh Glasswell. 

In a 2nd Stamford first for decades, Oliver Timson was selected for the World Jamboree in South Korea. He had to attend a selection camp and was one of just 10 scouts out of 100 who were successful. A tremendous achievement. 

Together with the cubs we attended the Chiller day at Walesby Forrest. This gave the Scouts the opportunity to do many adventurous activity and was a hugely popular event with all that attended. 

From April we were able to meet physically with restrictions on indoor numbers. The addition of the permanent tent to has been very useful. It enabled us to continue meeting throughout the winter. 

The pandemic left the Scouts with a huge practical knowledge gap. During this year we had tried to fill this with as many outdoor and traditional Scouting skills as we could. We started with the survival badge. This covers knifes, axes, saws, backwoods cooking, shelters and rescue signals. During the rest of the year we managed to get the scouts to 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

sail at Whitewater, do air rifles, 2 night hikes, after map reading revision and visit the Scalextric centre near Spalding. To cover the environment and volunteering aspects we joined the Explorers at a tree planting event. 

This year has been challenging but things have improved as time went on. We have tried to reintroduce the scouts to the outdoors, emphasising teamwork and leadership. The leadership team is changing. Chris is having to stop being a leader, due to changing work commitments and moving back to Oxfordshire. He has provided superb support to all of us and will be missed by us all. 

This will be my final report. I have decided that now is a good time to step back from leading Pegasus troop. It has been a privilege to be given the chance to influence the young people’s life’s. I have thanked Chris already but Jonathan, Jan, Richard, Dani and Mike have all contributed to the success of Pegasus troop throughout my time leading. Together we have grown the troop from just 10 Scouts to consistently having around 40 Scouts. We have managed to award many Chief Scouts gold awards and also to get our first attendee to the world Jamboree. 

Neil Wotherspoon, Scouts Leader 

## **Kestrels Troop Report** 

16 Cubs, 2 young leaders and 4 uniformed leaders 

We went into the new year still meeting on Zoom every Tuesday night with nearly full attendance. Our programme was varied, with guest speakers, badge work and lots of fun. On several occasions’ leaders delivered activity material to the doors of the cub’s houses so they all had the same materials to use while on zoom. 

Kestrels and kingfishers continue to plan and follow the same programme through out the year achieving lots of activities and badge work 

The biggest part of scouting that we all missed was going camping, but with lots of camping at home the cubs still managed to experience time in tents or under homemade shelters. We even saw parents getting involved. When we were able to get back together our first official camp was slightly different as we took the cubs to a PGL site nr Grantham and stayed in their accommodation block. Cubs and leaders had a fantastic time. 

During the year we handed out 207 badges and the leadership team were happy to have the Badges at home icon on OSM which enabled the Cubs to complete badge work that they may not have time to complete on a normal meet. We even achieved 7 Chief Scout Silver Awards: 

- Xander Miley 

- William Farrer 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

- Henry Stainsby 

- Samuel Willing 

- Toby Dawson 

- Annie Parrott 

- Joshua Perkins 

When we were able to meet back up in person it took a while for the cubs and leaders to settle back into normal meetings, but with lots of outdoor space and the addition of a new marquee we soon found new ways to work together safely. 

Some of the memorable activities were packing shoeboxes with toys and toiletries for a charity in Peterborough, attending Chiller at Walesby Forest and sending the Queen a card for her jubilee celebrations. 

John Burrows, Cubs Leader 

## **Kingfisher Troop Report** 

We continued to see a good intake from beavers and cubs moving up to scouts which is great  to  see  the  progression  and  retainment  in  the  group.  The  leadership  team  has remained stable with 4 adults as one young leader become an adult leader. The cub numbers have remained around 16 as we monitored covid risks. 

As covid restrictions lifted we were very keen to get back to face to face meetings. Over the summer term we complete emergency aid, Gardening and Backwoods cooking badgework, alongside other outside activities including going to Ketton Scout Hall to use some of their facilities. It was great to see the kids back enjoying the more practical side of scouting. 

When we returned after the summer break we continued with some badge work including Disability awareness, cooking, and a hike. We also did various craft activities, night hike and money skills. We packed shoeboxes with toys and toiletries for a charity in Peterborough to share out to less fortunate people living in the community. We managed to take the cubs away to a PGL centre for an over night residential which was a long time coming since covid and a chance to do some more adventurous activities. We also attended Chiller at Walseby forest which was a county event with lots of varied activities. We finished the term with Christmas crafts and a party. 

In the Spring term completed more badges including DIY badge, Astronomy and personal safety. We joined in the Queen’s celebrations by sending her a card to which she replied which was lovely. We also learnt more about scouting Jamborees as our leader Jamie was selected to lead the Lincolnshire contingent to South Korea in 2023. We attend a Cub activity day at the East of England showground where they could do air rifles, tracking and pigeon plucking and taste testing. We finished the term with 10 pin bowling which was a great fun night. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

We awarded over 120 badges during the year due to their commitment. This included 2 silver awards which is the highest badge in cubs and takes a lot of work to achieve. Well done to everyone this year as we see a more ‘normal’ return to scouting. 

Paul Scholes, Cubs Leader 

## **Beavers Drift Road and Empingham Road Colonies** 

This report is unlike any I have written for Beavers before, as so many adaptations have been made to continue scouting during the pandemic. The first lockdown put a stop to all our planned activities so we immediately sent out suggested scouting activities the beavers could do over the Easter holidays, including ways of keeping fit and healthy and the challenge to create an Easter masterpiece of their choice. 

When it became clear face-to-face scouting would not be returning for a considerable time, we began to have our weekly beaver meetings on Zoom. I was so impressed how easily the beavers took to this and how involved they were willing to get. I am also very proud of how all the leaders adapted to this way of delivering scouting and I think our virtual experiment night, Lego challenge and end of term party were the highlights of this term. Most of the beavers completed lots of badges at home and shared what they had been doing with the rest of the colony. Some of the older beavers also set challenges and activities for the others to complete. Many of the beavers drew pictures and made cards, which were delivered to the Evergreen Care Trust. We joined in with the Hike to the Moon and took part in the virtual camp weekend. 

Face to face scouting was permitted again in September and we spent a huge amount of time planning to return to outside meetings safely. Each colony alternated between a faceto-face session and a Zoom one. We also arranged a few Saturday events for the older beavers to finish off their Chief Scout Bronze Awards, before moving up to cubs. Again, the children adapted so well to a change in their scouting experience and the restrictions we still had to put in place. During this period, the beavers had a cyclist night, earned their disability and global issues badges and one group managed to get in a campfire before being told we had to return to virtual scouting again. 

It was a long winter, being stuck inside, but the beavers kept up their enthusiasm for scouting. We had another virtual sleepover and an Australian themed night, earning the beavers their international badge. We finished the term with a fun packed Beaver Christmas party and the whole group one too. 

In January the term started with a show and tell session, as we had encouraged the beavers to start working on various badges over the Christmas break. We completed a very successful two Zoom sessions to earn the Emergency Aid badge, with the beavers learning how to call for help and reassure their patient in an emergency and demonstrating, on brave volunteers in their household, how to bandage a bleed and put the casualty in the recovery position. To be awarded the badge, the beavers were assessed on their new skills by performing the correct emergency aid throughout a very accident-prone Mr Men story. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

After half term the beavers worked on their Air Activities badge. I would like to say a big thank you to Graham Beet for presenting his experiences in flying various aircraft and Chris Burden for sharing a video of him in the cockpit flying and landing his aircraft. During this term we arranged a glow in the dark virtual dance party, which was incredibly successful, and I was amazed at the participation and the enthusiasm we had from the kids and, of course, their incredible dance skills. 

Over the year I continued to be Section Leader for both colonies and throughout a lot of this time we worked as one big colony for practicality reasons during the pandemic. I had three Assistant Section Leaders and one Section Assistant at the very start of the period and have had two more Section Assistant Leaders join, first virtually and then face-to-face. We had only four beavers leave scouting during this time and 18 new beavers start. I feel in awe of these children, who were brave enough to join a new club during such a difficult period and at such a young age. I awarded 10, well deserved, Chief Scout Bronze Awards during the year. 

I would like to thank all the parents of our beavers for supporting their child’s scouting during this difficult year. The attendance, attitude and enthusiasm to take part and to complete badges and activities was phenomenal and I know that the children will have needed a lot of your help with this. 

Looking forward, we have already returned to regular outside face-to-face meetings and plan for both colonies to continue to both meet outside at Empingham Road throughout autumn and winter. Having been forced to only meet outside over the last few months, we have decided that we would like to continue delivering scouting this way and are adapting the outside space and our programme to be more suitable for the winter weather. We are back up to 16 beavers in each colony and are still working together as a team of leaders running both colonies. We have a new leader joining us and three young leaders volunteering. The waiting list is continuing to grow, with usually around 45-50 children waiting for a place in the group at one time. It would be wonderful if all these children could be offered a place. We are still looking for a second Beaver Section Leader and this would allow us to increase the number of children we could introduce to the scouting experience. 

## Lisa Stevenson 

## **Explorer’s Report** 

It’s been a very busy year for Stamford and Ketton Explorers. It has been fantastic to get back to normal scouting activities after the lockdown period. 

## Camps 

A firm favourite of all the Explorers is going on camp and we have run three this year. At the international camp each Explorer led a game or activity using an international theme and was involved in cooking and trying some different tastes from around the world. The survival camp in October involved building shelters, skinning and cooking rabbit, foraging – all in the pouring rain but it didn’t dampen our spirits. 



**2nd Stamford Scouts - Annual Report** 

For our March camp we had no rain but definitely had sub zero temperatures at night. We had loads of fun making go-karts and racing them in Ketton woods. 

## Activities 

As well as going on lots of hikes and improving our navigation skills we have been mountain biking, rifle shooting, sailing and kayaking, archery, bell ringing and a local history quiz. We have even been sub aqua diving! 

We have improved our practical skills by learning about bicycle maintenance, first aid  and making planters. We later sold the planters to raise money for Cancer Research. We have also supported the local foodbank and have an ongoing project to raise money for the Evergreen Trust. We have been involved in planting trees at Braceborough, being part of the pre-season clear up at Whitewater and marshalling the Burghley7 showing that we enjoy volunteering to support community projects and fundraising initiatives. 

Our Christmas treat was to go to Escape rooms in Peterborough. This helped develop teamwork as well as being lots of fun. All the groups got out – just! 

An ongoing theme throughout the year has been exploring and discussing our own beliefs. The Explorers have designed and led their own activities to communicate their beliefs to others to raise awareness of issues that are important to them. 

## Awards 

We have had 3 Explorers complete their bronze Duke of Edinburgh award and move on to their silver. We’ve also had some members from scouts signing up to start their bronze and a new member sign up for their silver. This will go towards achieving the top scouting awards: platinum, diamond and the ultimate goal, the Queen’s Scout Award. One member was selected to represent us at the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea 2023 and is very busily raising money for that trip. 

We have 3 Explorers enrolled on the Young Leaders programme and even more helping out with younger sections to help develop their leadership skills. 

By the end of the year, we had 19 Explorers with several more looking to move up from scouts. We have 3 leaders. 

I’d like to thank the Explorers who have been so much fun to work with. They get really stuck in to every activity we suggest and are becoming really responsible, independent young people with fantastic problem-solving skills and ever-growing confidence. I’d also like to thank their parents for putting up with my constant demands for activity forms! 

Julie Evison Williams, Explorers Leader
