| Section 3 | Activities and Achievements |
| A full account of the activities and achievements of the District is given in the | |
|---|---|
| Annual Report, available on request. The highlights this year were as follows: | |
| Membership | Most groups have grown in the last twelve months with a total youth |
| membership of 886 and 265 adults. We are yet to return to pre-pandemic | |
| numbers. 9th Burton Scout Group closed due to lack of adult numbers but the | |
| young people were offered places in other Groups. | |
| Activities | There are some amazing activities run across the District. Lots of camping and |
| residential activities are happening in many different places by all groups. The | |
| District supported and ran activities throughout for all groups including skills | |
| days and camps which were well attended and enjoyed by all. The District | |
| now has a District Youth Team who meet to discuss shaping Scouting in the | |
| District and we look forward to them having more impact going forwards. | |
| We continually promote actively engaging and supporting young people in | |
| their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution | |
| to society. 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. | |
| Charity Fund-raising | There has been no specific charity fund-raising exercise this year. The payment |
| process from the Scouts fundraising and payments goes through the Scout | |
| District. | |
| Facilities | Facilities at the Rangemore Scout Centre District HQ and Campsite have |
| continued to be utilized by young people and adults throughout the year. We | |
| are now near to pre-pandemic usage. Further developments are planned for | |
| the site. | |
| Leadership | The District structure is managed through a District Commissioner (acting); with |
| a reviewed structure to reflect our youth movement. We are focused on being | |
| Youth Shaped in accordance with the Vision 2018 of the Scout Association and | |
| to prepare better futures 2018-2023 through the Skills for Life strategy of The | |
| Scout Association (The Scouts). |
| Section 4 | Policies |
|---|---|
| Reserves policy | The District's policy on financial reserves is to retain a balance equal to the |
| annual membership fee, some £41,381, and this has been achieved this year. | |

| Account, and we continue to use reserves for the development and support of | |
| local Scouting. We hold reserves of some £44,711 to be used for the provision | |
| and development of the campsite and scouting in general. | |
| We will review the future needs and the reserves policy annually in accordance | |
| with good practise and development expectations for Scouting throughout the | |
| Burton Upon Trent District. | |
| Grant-making policy | The Trustees do not make grants to outside organisations |
| Investment | The Scout Association’s Policy, Organisation & Rules set out the manner in |
| selection policy | which the funds of the District may be invested. |
