**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - 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 Board of Trustees, 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 Board of Trustees consists of 3 independent representatives, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Group Scout Leader, individual section leaders (if opted to take on the responsibility), together with a Quartermaster, and general member(s).  The Committee meets every 3 months. 

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

This Board of Trustees 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 Board of Trustees 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 (Town) Scout Group - 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 (Town) Scout Group - 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 the values 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:** 

My thanks go to Kara Groves, our elected chairperson who stood for the full year, but has since had to step down, so I am writing the report on her behalf.  Thanks also to Jo Tinker who has been an amazing dedicated GSL and unfortunately had to stand down in December. 

We have an exciting expansion of the group with the forthcoming opening of our new squirrel section.  This new section will take on 4–5-year-olds. We have four leaders to help in this section and plan to open in the summer. 

The new HQ sub-committee have had to abandon the initial HQ design, for which we had planning permission, due to escalating costs.  A new design is in the final stages, and we hope to get planning permission in the summer. The new HQ sub–committee now have the immense task of coordinating the fundraising and grant applications. Already some wonderful ideas, events and support from different section leaders have been proposed, 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

but we do need more help with this so if you have any experience in grant applications, building projects or fundraising, or are just keen to help, let me know. 

My thanks go to all our leaders and volunteers on the committees who give their time to make sure more young people can get involved in Scouting. The next year is going to be hard work in terms of fundraising, however from what I have seen over the last 12 months I am sure the leaders and their sections will have lots of fun in doing so! 

Jan Simmonds, Acting Chairperson 

## **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 (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

## Section D     Achievements and Performance 

The Board of Trustees in administering the charity has met 3 times during the year. 

## **Group Scout Leader Report** 

It has been another busy year for all our sections and our leaders have done an amazing job at guiding our young people through gaining badges in all areas and being awarded Scouting’s highest achievements for each age range.  I am grateful for all the new volunteers who have joined our leadership teams across the Group over the year. I also want to record my thanks to Jo Tinker, who unfortunately had to step down as Group Scout Leader in December, she has done a sterling job in taking the Group forward and continues to support the group with administrative tasks. A successor is still sort for what in a Transformed Scout Association will be the role of Group Lead Volunteer (GLV) sharing responsibilities with the new Group Leadership Team (GLT). Any parent interested in finding out about volunteering to fill this position should approach any leader to be put in contact with me. 

During the reporting year we looked forward to the launch of our new Squirrel Section in the summer under the leadership of Tina and Becky.  It will be exciting to be able to offer Scouting to younger people and start them on their journey in Scouting, for some before they start school! I am pleased to say the Section started operation in June so there will be more to report in next year’s Annual review. 

We have seen the start of the new structures in Scouting, being introduced nationally. The new job titles and structure for all our volunteers will take effect after the AGM and under the new structure we will have a separate Trustee Board to relieve our Section Leaders from responsibilities for the governance of the Group, so they can concentrate on delivering great programmes for our young people.  If you have skills that you can offer please do get in touch, there are endless opportunities to help which don’t include sleeping under canvas! 

We also owe a huge debt to our New HQ subcommittee of Jan Simmonds, Pauline Jones, Neil Wotherspoon and Neil Scholes, who having received planning permission for our new HQ had to take the design back to basics due to escalating costs.  A new, reduced cost, design is nearing completion, and we hope to have planning permission granted in the summer. It has been a long road to get to this point, but this is just the beginning of the journey as we now must start to fundraise in earnest.   (The new permission has been granted) 

Scouting in Stamford remains as popular as ever, with a long waiting list, and we will continue to provide as many young people as possible with opportunities to gain skills for life.    If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact a member of the leadership team as to clear the waiting list we will need to grow the Group 

I would like to finish by thanking all those adults who volunteer within the Group in 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

whatever way. Scouting is a community facility run by the community so without your help the Group would not exist. Many of you can only volunteer for a year or two, others are with us for decades. Our structures are changing so that all tasks are the responsibilities of teams rather than individuals to allow more flexible volunteering for all. 

Over the coming 12 months we will no doubt be embedding the new culture and role names but fundamentally we will continue to be there to give young people in the community Skills for Life. 

## Trevor Watson 

District Lead Volunteer for Stamford & Bourne District (acting as Group Leader Volunteer – 2[nd] Stamford Town 

## **Quartermaster Report** 

With all sections being able to run several camps this year all the equipment has been well used. We have removed 2 patrol sized tents which were worn out and purchased 2 air beam tents to replace them. These should last a good number of years. 

We also purchased 2 new 3 man tents to replace those which had worn out after many years of service. 

The permanently pitched marquee needs frequent checking and repairs. At times these are difficult to keep up with. The quotes for replacement bungees and “s “ hooks from the firm we brought it from are astronomical. (They have been taken over.) I will be looking for other suppliers and If need be will try to manufacture “s” hooks in house. This has been done with heavy duty metal pegs. 

Small items of kitchen kit have been replaced as necessary. 

Pauline Jones 

## **Leaders Reports** 

Please see appendices for Leaders individual troop reports. 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

## Section E     Financial Report 

## **Treasurers Report** 

Please see Appendix 2 for final accounts and budget. 

## **Financial Summary** 

## **Summary** 

The group has made a net gain of £4,072, mainly due to the additional fund raising for the new hut. Expenses related to the new hut where low this year, however now in ’24 we have the approval, expenses here are likely to ramp up. Taking out the fund raising specifically related to the new HQ, and the expenses, the group made a net loss of £482. The main contributors to this are the lower membership levels , and hirings than previous years. The leaders have put on a great number of activities for the young people, and the group has helped to fund some of these activities. 

## I **ncome** 

Fund raising has had a great year, and included £2,000 from the Stamford Kiwanis to support the building of our investment in hammocks. 

Gift Aid is a big revenue stream for us, worth £2,479, however there are still some parents yet to complete the gift aid form on OSM. This allows us to reclaim 20% of the subs from HMRC and helps us to fund the activities provided for the young people. It doesn’t cost the parents any more money, but allows us to claim the additional revenue back. 

## **Expenses** 

The day to day running and maintenance of the huts cost £6,010.19 for the year, and is our biggest cost. 

Expenditure on equipment is £3,455 and included hammocks that can be used to raise additional funds through hiring, as well as offer a different camping experience. Additionally, we purchased a gazebo to offer more useful space outside. 

Due to increased costs, spend on badges and neckers has risen to £1,022, despite the reduction in the number of members. 

## **Deputy Treasurer** 

For a number of years now Ann Burrows has been helping out as deputy treasurer. Her role is incredibly valuable to the group, and to me personally – I am very grateful that we have Ann as part of the team! 

Nick Reynolds - Treasurer 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

## Section F     Additional Information 

## **New HQ Update** 

This time last year we were waiting for planning permission for the original design.  This was finally granted after 10 months, but the escalating costs of the build, totalling over £2.5million made the project unfeasible from a fund-raising perspective.  We have therefore had to return to the drawing board and Neil Scholes, who recently joined the committee, has been instrumental in getting the design agreed and finalised.  We hope to get planning permission in the summer. 

This further delay has held up any applications for large grants, such as from the National Lottery, which are dependent on receiving planning permission.  Local fund raising has continued and I’d like to thank all of you who have supported us in so many ways. 

We are in discussions with SKDC regarding Drift Avenue HQ and hope to agree sale of the site.  This is an important part of our fund raising.  This has been a long laborious process, but we are making steady progress. 

Once we have planning permission, we will have 3 years to start the building works, and the fund raising will start in earnest.  We will be looking for help in all sorts of areas – marketing, publicity, grant applications, crafting, ideas for fund raising and participants in local fund-raising events.  If you, or anyone you know, would like to take part in this exciting journey please get in touch with a leader or with me, Jan Simmonds. 

I’d like to thank the other members of the sub-committee.  Firstly, Neil Wotherspoon who has been a stalwart member of the sub-committee from the start and has had to stand down due to other commitments.  Thanks also to Pauline who has been a constant hardworking member of the committee and has kept the neighbours on-side.  And finally welcome to Neil Scholes, a new member of the committee, who has led the work on the new design.  If anyone is interested in joining the committee, or helping with fund-raising, please let me know. 

Further details of the project, can be found on the group website - http://www.2ndstamford.scoutsonline.co.uk 

Jan Simmonds, Chair New HQ Sub-committee 

## Section G     Declaration 

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees: 

Signature(s): 

Full name(s): Jacqui Trayford Position: Secretary Date: 15/09/2024 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

## Appendix 1     Youth Activity 

## **Pegasus Troop** 

The 2023/24 year has been a busy year with new ambitious activities in the programme. We have had an established leadership team this year covering both Wednesday and Thursday and providing continuity. The scouts have enjoyed a broad variation activity programme throughout the year and made some significant achievements and had fun along the way. 

## **Membership & Attendance:** 

Our numbers of scouts have averaged this year at around 26-30 scouts. We will have 2 Patrols (Does & Buffalos) on Wednesday and 3 Patrols (Weasels, Ravens, Wolves) on Thursday. As older scouts have moved on or decided to finish, we have new patrol leadership and assistants to reinforce ownership and responsibility within the scout teams. With an additional intake of youngsters are expected in Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025, the number of patrols will likely grow with increased numbers to c.36. 

We also now have a more stable Leadership Team with good numbers committed to designated evenings providing consistency and resilience going forward. However, we would be happy to receive younger leaders from Explorers to provide additional support. 

## **Programme & Activities:** 

We completed a broad programme which included a mix of outdoor and indoor activities to ensure full inclusivity for all ages and abilities. Highlights for out camp activities included a hike and overnight camp at Shacklewell. This was good bonding exercise for the new group of scouts. The other major camp attended this year was Stamcamp with 24 scouts attending – experiencing a wide range of outdoor activities and crafts. We were pleased to be supported by parents who dedicated their time to assist at mealtimes, which was greatly appreciated. 

We were able to mix up the programme with a number of offsite visits which included outdoor events at Forest Facility, a night hike, Chiller 23 Activity Day and water sports at both Whitewater and Rutland Water. Plus, indoor activities including air rifle shooting, parkour, jamboree on the internet and scuba diving in Oakham. 

We also supported charitable events fund raising for the new Empingham Road HQ at the Dog Show and Castle Bytham Summer Fayre. 

## **Badges & Achievements:** 

Through our varied programme we were able to cover a range of skill badge activities and challenge badge. Jan Simmonds has done a great job in fostering the learning programme and badge completion, making our evening programme and events count towards badges most weeks. 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

We had 9 scouts complete their Expedition Challenge badge with an unaccompanied overnight hike and camp. 

We had 2 scouts to complete their Gold Award this year – Jamie Thompson and Millie Scholes. We have another 4-6 working through their Challenge badge criteria towards their Gold Award by early 2025. 

## **Leadership Summary:** 

Over the year we have had 8 leaders available across our Wednesday/Thursday sessions. 1 will leave by summer 2024, but we have recruited 2 more leaders/occasional helpers to support from September 2024 onwards. 

All training modules are up to date. 2 new adults will require training and compass set up. 

Going into 2024/2025 year we are in really good shape with additional leadership and hope to increase the group size with a number of young people on the waiting list and a significant number to move up from cubs in 2025. 

Jonathan Bull, Scouts Leader 

## **Kestrels & Kingfishers Troop Report** 

It has been another successful and  eventful year for the Kingfisher  Cubs,  filled  with engaging activities, badge work, and memorable events. Our pack continues to thrive, with strong  participation  and  enthusiasm  from  both  Cubs  and  leaders  alike.  This  report summarizes our key achievements and activities over the past year, covering the Summer, Autumn, and Spring terms. 

## **Membership and Leadership** 

We have maintained a stable membership of around 35-40 Cubs throughout the year. This has allowed us to keep a balanced intake from Beavers moving up to Cubs and ensures space is available for those progressing to Scouts. Our leadership team remains strong, with a dedicated group of 7 adults across both Cub packs (Kingfisher and Kestrel). This collaborative approach enables us to run a robust and varied program, with many joint activities and events throughout the year. 

## **Summer Term 2023** 

The  Summer  Term  focused  on  outdoor  skills  and  activities,  fostering  teamwork  and resilience among the Cubs. We started with **den building at Burghley** , followed by a **games  and  skills  night** .  A  highlight  was  our **King’s  Coronation  event** ,  where  Cubs engaged in crafts and wrote letters to the King. We also included practical skills like **bike maintenance** and **sports and athletics** , culminating in the popular **Chip Shop Challenge** , a fun exploration of Stamford to find the best local chip shop. 

The term included preparation for our camps with sessions on **tent pitching and gate building** , which were crucial for developing camping skills. We also visited the **Stamford** 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

**Fire Station** to learn about fire safety and finished the term with a fantastic outdoor adventure at **Rutland Water** for the "Rumble" event. 

## **Autumn Term 2023** 

The Autumn Term saw the Cubs engage in a variety of activities aimed at badge work and team building. We began with games and discussions around the **pack code of conduct** to set expectations for behaviour and teamwork. The Cubs had fun **building shelters** and participated in a **Jamboree night** with joint packs, which included a fire and snacks. The  term  was  rich  with  educational  experiences  such  as **air  rifle  shooting** , **aviation activities** , and a memorable visit to the **Stamford Fire Station** . Cubs also participated in creative sessions, including **clay modelling** to make poppies and learning about Stamford's war heroes. We observed **Remembrance Day** with a thoughtful session on clay painting and history. 

The term wrapped up with an **International Night** for the International Badge and ended with festive celebrations, including **Christmas crafts** and a **joint Christmas party** , where Cubs wore Christmas jumpers or fancy dress to share in the holiday spirit. 

## **Spring Term 2024** 

The  Spring  Term  was  equally  packed  with  exciting  activities  and  badge  work.  Cubs participated in sessions that combined learning with fun, such as **baking and food hygiene** , **bird identification** for the Big Bird Watch, and **night walks** around Stamford Town. They also made **bird boxes** and explored **scouting history** . 

A key feature of the term was the focus on problem-solving skills, with activities that included writing instructions and team games. The Cubs also contributed to the community by assisting with the **Burghley 7 - Water Stations** . They continued to build on their skills with events like the **Skills Night** and a fun **Nerf Gun Night** . 

We concluded the term with engaging activities like the **Scalextric Night** , ensuring a mix of educational content, skill development, and fun. 


Between the two cub packs we awarded over 280 badges during the year due to their commitment. This included 4 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 continue to see a big demand for youth places in our group. 

John Burrows & Paul Scholes, Cubs Leaders 

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

Over the year, the Beavers have been exceptionally busy. In the summer term they designed and built vehicles out of recyclable materials to take part in the District Beaver Egg Race. They worked on their navigational skills to use on our trip to Fineshade Woods, where they completed the Gruffalo Orienteering Course. During the term, they also worked 



**2nd Stamford (Town) Scout Group - Annual Report** 

on the International Activity Badge, finishing with an International themed overnight camp. 

We seem to have fit in a lot at Beavers during the Autumn term, starting with completing the Cyclist badge on our homemade road at the Empingham Road HQ. The Beavers also completed the Health and Fitness, Cooks (some of which was on the campfire), Money Skills and Experiments badges. We spent a few weeks working on the Disability badge. This involved having a visit from John, a local resident who spoke to the Beavers about being blind. The Beavers made him a Braille thank you card and John was so touched he kindly donated some money for the Beavers to use on fun activities. Over the term, we also had a movie night sleepover, attended the Remembrance Parade, went to the Chiller Activity Day and took part in the carol singing fundraiser at the Burghley Christmas Market. 

In the new year, we had a visit from Beach, a local published children’s author, who inspired the Beavers to create their own front covers and complete the Book Reader badge. The Beavers spent a couple of weeks learning Emergency Aid, which I have heard has been used in real life situations at home since. We spent John’s donation on taking the Beavers tobogganing. During the term, we also cooked dampers on the campfire and completed a hike and den building at Wakerley Woods. 

I am still Beaver Section Leader of both colonies, with Lorraine, Annie and Marie Assistant Leaders. Portia joined us as an Assistant Leader in September and is proving to be a valuable member of our team. Over the year, we have had two Young Leaders and two D of E volunteers helping out. Both colonies are still meeting at Empingham Road HQ on a Monday, with staggered starting times and occasional joint meetings. We have continued to run the session outside as much as possible, which has had very positive feedback. 

Over the year we have remained full, with 16 beavers at each colony most of the time. More recently we have chosen to keep one of the colonies with slightly lower numbers but will be increasing this again shortly. A majority of our Beavers move up to cubs, most of whom achieve their Chief Scout Bronze Award. Jo Tinker is still running the waiting list and a new intake of children are joining Beavers at the start of every term. This coming year, we will have to accommodate for the Squirrels moving up to Beavers as well. 

## **Bronze Awards** 

Lucas Magliulo, Beatrice Cotton, Jamie Evans, Orson Grove, Harry Truslove, Benjamin Chenery, Felix Childs, Tyler Higgins, Edwin Melvin, Delphie Forkin, Phoenix Miley, Wilfred Turner, Hugo Bryan, William Hardman, Agatha Sauntson, Teddy Sallis, Wilbur Holbird. 

Lisa Stevenson, Beavers Section Leader
