CITY OF COVENTRY SCOUT COUNTY
ANNUAL REPORT 2023-2024
Working Together

Chair – Clive Bennett
It has been another busy year for the County Trustee Board. In addition to the normal ongoing review, scrutinising and updating, where necessary, of all our policies and procedures we have had one or two one off situations with regard to safety to deal with.
Accidents and near misses create a great deal of, time consuming, work for the people involved but this can be alleviated by ensuring that all risk assessments and specific policies and procedures are in place. One of the points highlighted following the inquest into the Great Orme tragedy puts even more emphasis on compliance which is the responsibility of the respective Group, District and County Trustee Boards. I am pleased to say that, as a County, we have made great progress with regard to this over the past year, so well done to everyone involved in promoting this.
The work regarding the buildings database is still ongoing. When completed, this will act as support and advice for Group Trustee Boards and inform them of what documents they need to have in place in order to be compliant with P.O.R. Many Groups across the County have already loaded documents into their file, which means their documents are all together in one secure place. If you have not already done so, I would urge you to upload your documents as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about this as most Groups will have some or all of these documents/policies in place already but if not, support and advice is available. Sincere thanks must go to Luke for compiling and monitoring this lengthy and important piece of work.
We have recently started to look at succession planning in order to find people to help in certain departments and/or fill certain roles within the County. We desperately need people to help with various tasks in the Scout Shop so if you are interested in helping or know someone who has the skills or could give us some of their time, please talk to Mike Pitham, or any member of the County Trustee Board.
I would like to thank everyone who has served on the County Trustee Board in the past year for their contribution and ideas. Special thanks to Michelle for her drive, commitment, help and support, to Nigel for sorting through and drawing up policies and being a mine of information and to Dave for the onerous task of keeping the books and making them balance. Dave has also constantly researched and advised on further investment opportunities to ensure the future financial stability of the County.
Finally, a huge thank you to all of you, no matter what you do within Scouting. The variety of programme and activities you provide is fantastic and the smiles on the faces of the young people says it all and that is all down to you.
Enjoy your summer as we look forward to Scouting in 2024/25.
County Lead Volunteer (County Commissioner) – Michelle Cox
As I take the time to reflect on the incredible year we have had at Coventry Scout County, I take a moment to reflect on my time as County Commissioner. The role is one of two sides, the first is behind the scenes, fact finding, trouble shooting, strategic planning, reporting and coordinating, the other is front facing with the honour of presenting awards, celebrating achievements and representing all that we stand for here in Coventry. Today, we come together to celebrate our achievements, acknowledge the hard work of our volunteers, and look forward to the exciting future that lies ahead.
First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our volunteers. Your dedication, passion, and tireless efforts are the heartbeat of our organization. Without you, none of this would be possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you do.

This year has been remarkable for Coventry Scout County. We have seen significant growth in our membership, with many new scouts joining our movement. We grew by 5.5% overall, youth by 2.8% and adult volunteers by 12.7%. Our youth programmes have thrived, offering young people countless opportunities to learn new skills, make friends, and experience adventure.
We have had several successful events in the County and in the Districts, including Gang Show, Network Festival, Water weekend to name but a few. These events not only provided unforgettable experiences for our scouts but also strengthened our community bonds and showcased the true spirit of scouting.
Of course, this year was not without its challenges. We faced a large number of complaints, and key volunteers stepping down, but our resilience and teamwork helped us overcome them. Each challenge was a learning opportunity, a reminder of our Scouting values and we emerged stronger and more united.
Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans for the coming year. Strengthening our governance and working on rapid assurance, transformation to the way we volunteer and of course the daily running of our Scout Sections, Groups, Districts and the County. We aim to expand our programmes, reach more young people, and continue to provide excellent opportunities for personal growth and development.
As we move forward, let us remember the impact we have on the lives of young people. Every meeting, every camp, every activity is a chance to inspire, to teach, and to nurture the leaders of tomorrow. Your dedication as volunteers is shaping the future, and for that, we cannot thank you enough. To My immediate team, Ash, Sarah, Gary, Emily, Luke, Andy, Andy, Stu, Clive and the trustees – your support has been amazing – Thank you.
In conclusion, I want to express my heartfelt thanks once again to all our volunteers. Your hard work and commitment are truly inspiring. Together, we have achieved so much, and together, we will continue to make a difference.
Thank you, and here’s to another fantastic year at Coventry Scout County
County Secretary – Nigel Stapleton
The County Executive Committee has held meetings on a regular basis, and has held detailed discussions on a range of issues, and received reports from the different sub-committees.
It is with regret that a number of former and current Scouters have died during the year some of whom we have been notified of and are recorded.
The Rough Close Service Crew (both weekday and weekend crew) are a very active combined team in ensuring our customers receive a high level of service at our County Campsite. Thanks as always to The Crew for their dedication and enthusiasm. The ‘Friends of Rough Close’ have again supported various projects at the campsite.
The Rough Close Weekend Service Crew is extremely short of members who are able to commit to regular attendance. Occasionally only one member has been available to be in attendance. It may be that members could attend on a rota basis. Without regular attendance in helping with the running of and maintaining your County Campsite. Without volunteers for Crew and Activity Instructorsavailable at weekends then it may become necessary to severely restrict bookings and for instructor led activities. There is work progressing to change our booking system to the Online Scout Manager – Venue Booking System this is taking some time to complete and fully test.
For more information about volunteering for the Rough Close Service Crew (SASU) please contact: Stuart

Grundy, Nigel Stapleton or Dave Hart.
Gang Show – Andy Morris
Coventry Scouts Gang Show 2024 saw a year of change.
Clive Bennett made the decision to take a step back from directing after 35 years, I’m sure everyone will join me in thanking Clive for all his hard work over the years. However, he hasn’t gone far as he has taking up the role of Technical Advisor.
I was asked by the Trustees, along with Michelle Cox to see if I would be interested in taking up the role of Production Director, which I gladly accepted. We welcomed a few new members to the Production team, along with a new Musical Director.
The transition for the production team has been smooth sailing, as over the years we’ve become like a family, working closely, sharing ideas and communicating with each other.
The cast adapted well, working hard and enthusiastically to produce a show which we were all proud of, it wouldn’t be a Gang Show without hiccups along the way, the main one this year was being able to fit in rehearsals alongside everyone’s hectic everyday life, but the team powered through with true Gang Show grit and determination to bring a spectacular show.
We had 23 young people in our Beavers, Cubs and Young Scouts Cast, and 58 members in our Main Gang. Many of which was their first time in a Gang Show and for some their First experience of a professional theatre.
The show faces challenges with increasing costs and charges, but with the support of the County Fundraising Active Support Unit along with members of the Cast they managed to put on a number of events and activities in order to support the show.
My thanks go out to everyone who supports the show, either directly or indirectly. Those who work Front of House, Backstage, Wardrobe team and Technical support. But especially to the Section Leaders who I know from time to time have young people taking part in the show which occasionally impacts their programme plans
Transformation – Andy Morris
There have been delays within the migration of the Digital System which has delayed the project significantly, progress has been successfully made recently (June 2024). So it is hopeful for a Winter transition to take place.
We have now adopted the format of Welcome Conversations, which were previously part of what AAC’s covered. A handful of people across the County have undertook the training and have had this validated. The transformation of Executive Committees to Trustee Boards will be completed throughout 2024.
Continuation of the data cleansing is taking place in order that when we migrate to the new system the information is as up to date and accurate as possible.
Rough Close – Dave Hart
The past year has been a successful year in many respects, we have fully recovered from lack of use during the COVID years, and our customer base has returned. We are again seeing many groups from inside and outside the County using the facilities. During the week we are seeing School groups visiting.
Due to the weather conditions over the winter, we couldn’t get onto the fields until May and it was a rush to get the fields into good camping condition. We again are having to use to use contractors to aerate the
4
fields.
Maintaining our buildings is a constant challenge, some of the buildings were second hand when they arrived at Rough Close approximately fifty years ago. We are continually working on their maintenance, and they are still popular today.
Having been delayed from completing during the last year we have managed to re-roof the Top Field toilets. A new fire bowl and shelter has been installed on Pocket Site 4. Again, this was achieved by using materials already on site. Another completed task was extending the covered working area adjacent to the workshops.
We have been concerned about our Weekend service Crew accommodation, it was decided to change the larger dormitory sleeping area into separate rooms sleeping two persons and also instal a toilet. The midweek Crew have undertaken this work and is almost complete. The Caravan has also been renovated and is there for the use of leaders who don’t wish to camp.
Following last year’s AGM the Jamboree woodland was formally opened individuals and companies who donated towards the Jamboree were present and a commemorative plaque unveiled.
Again Rough Close has been hit with extremely high utility bills, although keeping a watchful eye on the usage of electricity and gas the costs still seem to rise.
A disappointing feature of the year has been our inability to fully man our activities. Reliant completely on volunteers it has been difficult to recruit the necessary instructors and get them trained.
Following accidents not only of our making we have had to review all our procedures and risk assessments. This is an ongoing and necessary process.
A surprise end to 2023-24 was learning that Stan (Kim) Veasey had bequeathed a large sum of money to Rough Close. This will be used to enhance the site for our young people.
Rough Close could not operate without the dedication of our Service Crews and Management Committee, although small a lot has been achieved. We are deeply indebted to both members of the Crew who volunteer to work on Tuesdays and Fridays doing maintenance work and new projects, also to our small weekend crew who look after our visitors and ensure to camp site is safe. We continually look at ways to improve Rough Close endeavouring to make it a premier Scout site in the Midlands.
We are constantly looking for new members to help with the running of Rough Close, both with general maintenance, Activity Instructors and ‘front of house’ helping with bookings and helping David Miller in the Trading Post. If you are interested in helping please contact Dave Hart or Nigel Stapleton.
Rough Close Management Committee; Dave Hart (Chairman); Nigel Stapleton (County Secretary), Brian Beever, Bob Tansey, Bob Tabb, Alex Nicholson, Colin James, Peter Marsden, Stuart Grundy, Andrew Kates Michelle Cox (County Commissioner) and Clive Bennett (County Chair) are Ex Officio members.
Adult Support Report - Ashley Hyde
The last 12 months have gone very quickly!
This time last year I was talking about how the County were looking to set up a Mental Health First Aider course and training a team of new First Aid trainers to help make this more accessible. Both of these projects were successful. In November last year, we had 13 people complete the weekend course and become Mental Health First Aiders. We also now have a team of First Aid trainers as well, with coverage
5
across all three districts so we are now much better placed to offer this training to more people. As of today at our AGM, we have already run four courses that have help 63 volunteers update their first aid training for another 3 years!
Our current team of First Aid trainers is now as follows:
Bablake: Ashley Hyde; Jemma Moffat; George Day; Devan Cresswell (as a facilitator to support) Charterhouse: Michelle Caughey-Rogers; Stuart Wheeler (as a facilitator to support) Caludon: Gary Colledge; Natalie Gidney; Sam Johnson Explorer Scout Young Leaders: Keith Morris
If your group want to book a course for your group in one go, please let me or any of the above know so we can organise this. You will need to provide the venue and if there are spaces free after your group has registered, then these will be offered to the wider County.
I have 2 more dates for future Mental Health First Aider courses and will be advertising these on the County Facebook page and in the email newsletter. The dates are 26[th] -27[th] October and 8[th] -9[th] February. There will be a small charge to cover the cost of the resources, however this will be much lower than the cost of getting the qualification outside of these courses. The courses we are offering are run by Jay Thompson, who is a registered Mental Health nurse and first aider and is also a scout so the courses are very well tailored to what you may need. Keep an eye out for Eventbrite links to register.
As we start the upcoming transformation as an early adopter County, my role will become known as the County Volunteering Development Team Leader. I will – over the coming months – be meeting with the District level equivalent people in this role so we can, as a team, look to unify the bits we will be looking after. One of the first things we will be looking at is the new welcome conversations. Appointment Advisory Panel meetings will be stopping and instead volunteers will be asked to have a welcome conversation with new volunteers and act almost as a mentor in the very early parts of the new volunteer’s role. We will be looking for people across the County to support this so if you are interested, please get in touch! The role will be a big role, and will look after the following teams – first aid trainers, safety, safeguarding, welcome conversations, the new learning and other teams.
In recent weeks, I’ve been supporting with some really amazing things, I’ve visited people to present awards, I’ve helped with DBS checks and have agreed to look after the 41[st] group as Acting GSL until the end of the year. As always I am very keen to meet as many of you as possible, I’m happy to visit your section/group and support in any way I can.
