ection 3	Activities and Achievements
	A full account ofthe activities and achievements ofthe District is given in the
	Annual Report, available on request. The highlights this year were as follows:
embership	The Covid-19 pandemic lock-down continued to have an impact on the District as
	a whole. However, all Scout Groups have re-started once the lock-down was
	eased. Membership figures generally reflect an improvement on 2021 figures but
	not quite to the levels of2020.The District now has 909Youth (6-18)members and
	260Adults (1169in total) with others supporting and helping in ad hoc and non-
	member roles. This represents an uplift of20% in our youth membership, only 3%
	for adults, but governance roles show a 12%increase.
ctivities	During the tailing from lock-down we continued remote contact and activities via
	Zoom where necessary. Resuming face to face meetings and activities was at the
	discretion ofeach Scout Group.
	We are pleased to report all Scout Groups are now meeting face to face.
	Nights away activities have been completed and we are trending towards our aim
	to see all our young people having the opportunity to spend a night away from
	home each year.
	We continually promote actively engaging and supporting young people in their
	personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to societ
	This is achieved through the adults working in partnership with young people in a
	fun, learning environment which promotes our core values, Integrity; Respect;
	Care; Belief and Co-operation.
harity Fund-raising	There has been no specific charity fund-raising exercise this year. The payment
	process from the Scouts fundraising and payments go through the Scout District.
acilities	Facilities at the Rangemore Scout Centre District HQ and Campsite have re-
	opened slowing as lock-down ended and groups re-started their outdoor activities.
	Grants received by the Scout Centre from the local authority ensured maintenance
	and operational standards were maintained
cadership	The District structure is managed through a District Commissioner (acting); with a
	reviewed structure to reflect our youth movement. We are focused focussed on
	being Youth Shaped in accordance with the Vision 2018ofthe Scout Association
	and to prepare better futures 2018-2023through the Skills for Life strategy ofThe
	Scout Association The Scouts
ection 4	Policies

	membership fee, some f37,000, and this has been achieved this year.
