**Charity name: 1[st] Marske & New Marske ‘Barn Owls’ Scout Group** 

**Charity registration number:  524688** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document** 

## **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 those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.** 

By maintaining six sections (2 Beaver Colonies, 2 Cub Scout Packs and 2 Scout Troops), the 1st Marske & New Marske Scout Group delivered a wide range of Scouting activities throughout the year for around 180 youngsters. 

## **Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit** 

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. 



**Achievements and Performance** 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.** 

## **Beavers** 

The two Beaver sections Valley Colony (Tuesday) and Headland Colony (Friday) work from the same programme. Leaders meet regularly to discuss ideas to make meetings fun, active and adventurous. Both colonies run with a maximum of 24 children which ensures that the majority have a full two years in the section before moving on to Cubs and have an opportunity to gain their Bronze Award – the highest award for the Beaver section. Congratulations to the 26 Beavers who have gained their award in the last 12 months. We have welcomed many new beavers over the year as well as saying goodbye to those moving up to cubs. 

We have had a full and active programme over the last year and we have completed several activity badges. Learning map reading skills and what to pack for a day out for the Navigator 1 staged badge. We had a visit from the Cleveland Police who showed us how to be safe in our community for the safety activity badge and all the Beavers enjoyed making pizzas and fruit kebabs for the Cook Activity Badge. More recently we have completed the book reader, space and global issues activity badges, hopefully learning a little more about the world we live in and how to look after it. 

As well as the activity badges we have been working on the 6 challenge awards, junk modelling, making bug hotels and completing challenges together. Working with The Marske Guardians of the Sea we made lanterns which culminated with an evening parade through the valley gardens, the lanterns were also used on the Santa Parade. For the first time in several years our Beavers sang carols at Marske Hall which all the residents enjoyed and made us feel very welcome. We played some Highland Games in January, toss the caber and shot putt as part of the World Challenge Badge. 

The Beavers remembered our Queen by colouring in hearts and writing messages which were put together in a booklet and sent to the King. We also did activities to celebrate the Kings Coronation in May and recently have been involved in making scarecrows for the trail around Marske. 

At the beginning of June, we took 28 beavers to Ketttleness for a weekend of pirate fun. The weather was fantastic, they all behaved well and it was a challenge for most as their first beaver sleepover. Hopefully they all went home with tales to tell. 

We still have lots of fun things planned before we finish for the summer holidays with lots of outside activities. 

## **Cubs** 

The Cub section run a joint programme for both Leopard & Puma Packs which includes suggestions from the Cubs, as part of youth shaped Pack Forums. Leaders work across both Packs when necessary to ensure continuity in programmes and badges covered. 

Over the last year, we have returned to a balanced programme of activities and camping experiences. Last summer the programme included many outdoor elements and focused on scouting skills. We did map & compass tasks, learnt how-to put-up Patrol Tents and take them down! We visited New Marske Woods for teamwork and woodland activities. Our final night, before the summer break, was beach night. We usually have the beach to ourselves but due to the hot weather we had to share it with the rest of our community. 

On our return to cubs in September, we completed the backwoods cooking and local knowledge activity badges, as well as Navigator 2 staged badge. The Cubs also did a twilight walk, along the beach and celebrated the festival of Diwali. Many members also attended the lantern workshops, so they were experts when we came to make a few more for the Christmas Parade. All Cubs received challenge, activity, and staged badges at the Group presentation evening last November and 7 Chief Scout Silver awards were presented. 

In January, we returned with Teamwork Challenge and problem-solving activities. This was followed by the Pioneer and Scientist Activity Badges.  We had a visit to Clip & Climb in Stockton in March to try a new sport. The staff leading the session were impressed with the Cubs and their behaviour. May saw us doing Coronation crafts and sending postcards to King Charles III on an environmental theme. 

Leaders are very proud of all our Cubs who worked hard to earn their badges over the past 12 months. Most Cubs achieve their Chief Scouts Silver Award during the time they are in the Pack. 14 Cubs have achieved their highest Award for the Cub section in the past 12 months. Congratulations to you all. 



Community based activities are always an important part of the Pack calendar. We were involved in the Guardians of the Seas lantern workshop and community event along with Marske Litter Action in October. In November, Remembrance services at both Marske (which also included a parade) and New Marske were indoor services once again.  Many Cubs enjoy taking part in the Santa Parade in December and families take time to attend Christingles at local churches, as well as donating money to the children’s society. We will again be working with Tees Valley Wildlife Trust this summer for a nurdle hunt. 

Finally, camp the highlight of any Cub year. Last summer saw the Cubs going on a hunt for the golden woggle at the Group summer camp. They slept under canvas and worked in mixed section teams to take part in problem solving tasks. We had a great time and although a little damp on the final day everyone had a great time. Thanks to Rach for organising the camp and all the leaders involved.  In May we held a joint Camp for any cubs who wanted to attend, or they could come for a day visit, if they did not want to sleepover. The theme was Harry Potter. Everyone had a great time making broomsticks, doing crafts, fires, archery, hiking and a campfire. Thanks to all involved in preparation, being at camp and packing away after a great weekend. 

Both packs continue to have good numbers and have welcomed new members as well as Beavers who have successfully moved on. The leadership Team from both Packs meet to ensure all our Cubs are offered a variety of activities and develop new skills. Thank you to our families for supporting their young person on their Scouting journey and to all the adults who have supported the Cub programme this year. 

## **Scouts** 

Another successful year of working together to create joint programmes and activities for the Scout sections this year, with several new adults stepping into volunteering. 

Summer term 2022 saw us complete work on our Nature Badge and Survival Skills 

We also took part in the first Group Summer Camp for a long time, The Quest for the Golden Woggle. Every section of the group attended camp, and although a little damp at times, the weather was generally kind and we all had an amazing time. Many thanks to all the leaders who helped with this camp, especially to Ian and Matt who kept us all well fed. 

Autumn 2022 saw us visit Air Trail at Thornaby (delayed by the heatwave in summer 2022 if you remember that, it seems like a long time ago!) which all the young people thoroughly enjoyed. We had beach nights and team building activities, cooked on fires and learnt circus skills (not at the same time!). We also were able to return to a group celebration of the badges earnt at our familiar annual presentation evening. This was really well attended and it was lovely to see all the photos of summer camp up on the screen. Over 200 badges will now have been added to the Scouts uniforms. It was lovely to see the Explorers/Young Leaders who have moved on from Scouts up on stage receiving their next awards. 

In October we held a Hammock Camp for the older Scouts and Explorers at one of the leader’s favourite sites at Cragg Bank, well done to Jamie and Mark for earning your Nights Away permit organising this. Thanks to Ben for the realistic faking of a medical emergency for the Scouts to deal with; the ketchup was a great touch. 

Once again, we were able to arrange a Christmas Camp, at Kettleness to allow both troops to participate. We had a wonderful festive weekend with stockings hung in the activity centre with care, a gorgeous tree (thanks again to Longbeck Nurseries for the kind donation) hand decorated by the Scouts and an amazing Christmas Lunch cooked by Ian and Matt. We even managed to fit in some festive axe-throwing. 

Spring 2023 – we focused on our Skills Challenge badge and visited the Warhammer shop in Middlesbrough. The Scouts have been doing lots of camp planning in anticipation of our Summer Weekend camp. 

As usual, the last part of these ramblings is dedicated the amazing team of scout leaders, none of the adventures of the last year would be possible without you all giving up your time, energy and enthusiasm, Mark, Dave, Ian, Andrew, Andy, Jamie, Joel, Will.  Thanks also to the people you leave at home for the weekend to help run scout camps. 

Thanks, as always to the parents and adults who support the young people with their scouting endeavours – we look forward to many exciting adventures with you in the coming year. 



## **Young Leaders** 

We now have Young Leaders helping in Beavers, Cubs and both Scout sections of the Scout Group. Some are now experienced Young Leaders, who are real assets to Scouting and have many skills to share.  In addition, we have also welcomed new Young Leaders as well as DofE Bronze, Silver and Gold participants doing the volunteering section of the award. 

To support the Young Leader training programme and DofE volunteers, we ran two Module A (Prepare for take-off) training courses during the year. In March, the District, once again ran their YL training for Modules A to J at Kettleness, which a few of our Young Leaders attended. Thanks to Ben Atkinson, Module K First Aid was also offered this year. Well done to Paul for completing all his Young Leader training and who received his Young Leader Belt and award at our November presentation evening from the District Commissioner. 

The role of the Young Leader is an important one and they are part of established leadership teams who can support their personal and scouting development. Some continue into future adult leaders and we have another 2 this year who have made this transition. They should be proud of the way they have helped the ‘Barn Owls’ and other local Scout Groups youth members, along with our adult leadership teams with the programme of activities over the last 12 months. 

## **Group Scout Leader Report** 

This year we can celebrate a full year of Scouting activities, and camps. I am proud to watch over a team of amazing leaders at the ‘Barn Owls’ who have a youth shaped approach to create fantastic programmes. Last November, we were able to hold our Group presentation evening. The night was split into younger and older scouts and it was great to see so many members coming up on stage to receive badges. District and County Commissioners were on hand to present Beaver Bronze, Cub Silver, and Scout Gold Awards. The Explorers were presented with badges and some Platinum awards, and we also had some Young Leader training badges. A very successful evening with proud parents, leaders and members watching. 

We continue to monitor adult training with online Safety & Safeguarding courses and First Aid renewals every 3 years. We have welcomed new leaders, who are completing their online training promptly. There will be a new approach to Scouts training in the coming year with new digital tools being introduced to support learning. A highlight of the last year was the number of leaders, following attending the County Nights Away course, who organised and led camps. In the Beaver section, Mel has completed her Nights Away Permit and Sue J application is being processed. Rach W completed her camping permit organising a fantastic group camp at Ravengill last summer. Mark and Jamie planned a camp for older scouts at Crag Bank which helped them get Greenfields permits. We now have leaders holding permits at various levels who can share the organisation and will enhance the camping experiences going forward. Well Done! 

The last few months have seen a massive change to our Scout HQ. I would like to thank the Executive members who have all been involved in the decision process and those who have helped practically. Special thanks to Carole who managed the work and trades on site and Andy G for his work on finances. Leaders were prepared and adapted well, as younger sections moved to the Guide House and older sections met outside. Although there are still a few things to do the building looks smart. The new kitchen was first used for our Coronation ‘Big Lunch’ a fitting celebration, which was enjoyed by many families. 

The January census 2023, showed we had 151 youth members and an additional 12 Young Leaders working with sections. Numbers on the Beaver waiting list were high for most of the year, but Sue J managed this well to place new entrants quickly as spaces became available. We have sent off our application to open a squirrel Drey, and have adults interested in helping but we are still waiting to hear back. A few sections need more regular adult help at weekly meetings. We are in the process of recruiting new volunteers and this will be helped by the Scouts transformation of the volunteer experience over the next year. 

The Scout Group joined in our usual community events this year, with a few new ones. In the autumn, working with Guardians of the Sea to raise awareness of how our actions affect marine life, we hosted workshops to make lanterns. The Parade to the beach, with the lanterns lit was amazing. We also took part in the Coronation Big Lunch at the Scout Hut and Big Help Out hosted by Marske Hall this May. 

Reflecting on the past year, we have achieved much and seen many changes. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all those who have supported the ‘Barn Owls’ in their adventures. Looking forward Scouts will move to a team-based approach to volunteering in the next year. Hopefully this will not see too many changes at the Barn Owls sections, as our teams of leaders are well established. 



In September, we lost our Queen and Patron. Scouts across the world remembered her dedication to duty and service. I would like to close this report with Queen Elizabeth’s own Queens Scout certificate words, which I see in many of our scouts **‘As a Scout, you have prepared yourself for service to other people and your community and have shown yourself a worthy member of the worldwide scout movement. I wish you every success on your journey through life; may it prove for you a joyous adventure’ Elizabeth R.** 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period.** 

## **Treasurer Report Year Ending 31 March 2023** 

Subscription receipts in 2022-23 totalled £17,500 which is a huge increase from the £14,900 received in the group’s previous year. As a result of this increase in numbers, Gift Aid recovery was almost £4,000 for the year an increase from £1,100 the previous year. The next financial year’s Gift Aid is already known to have exceeded this. Thank you to Carole (Chair of the Executive Committee) for your work on gift aid. 

Many donations and grants, in addition to Gift Aid, were received throughout the year, totalling a very generous £31,000. On top of this, some excellent Fundraising activities brought in a further Net credit of £4,300. Specifically, the Grand Prize Draw, bringing in nearly £1,700 and the Sponsored Walk which raised almost £2,100. Christmas Post this year raised £610 for the group. Much of this money was designated to the Group’s Hut Fund project, the results of which are clear to see. More on that later. 

Energy costs are still a concern, although the group are still enjoying the results of the Group Chair’s work to secure the price the group pays for Gas supply until March 2025. However, the fixed Electricity tariff will come to an end in September, so it is hoped that things start to settle down in the energy market by then and new deals are available. 

The annual programme fund for 2022-2023 designated in the budget was £3,750. The group managed to only spend about £3,200, making up many of the costs of camps and trips from member contributions for those activities. This was an excellent achievement, especially given the cost increases in food & beverages. This was also welcome because the Membership Levy costs increased last year by about £500. More on the budget later. 

The **Hut Renovation Project** has so far come in under budget. The funds received and designated for this were in the region of £75,000. The group have paid about £70,000 of this to the companies and trades involved. It is expected that a further bill of about £2,000 will be coming in soon for electrical work but this part of the project is yet to be completed. 

The **Budget** for 2023-2024 year is detailed below. The decision has been made to retain the Subs Payment levels for the year. We are all fully aware that costs will increase, therefore, an annual programme fund of just over £3,000 has been allocated. Although this is lower than the previous year, it is worth remembering that much of the income generated through donations, grants and fundraising were previously ring fenced for the Hut Renovation work, whereas that will not be the case for the year going forward. This will leave more scope for gaining funds for activities and equipment. We have also increased the Training budget for the year as there was a zero spend on this in 2022-2023 so we have carried over that budget allocation. 

The group’s Emergency Fund is going to be credited with a further £5,000 leaving a designated pot in the Group’s account of about £20,000. This reserve is allocated for the purposes of covering the annual costs of running the group with zero income for a year. 

Although the balance sheet at the end of the 2022-2023 year showed a massive £97,606 it must be understood that much of this was designated for the Hut Renovation Project. If the group had paid for the renovation costs prior to the end of the year, the balance sheet would have reflected that the group holds about £38,000 of which £20,000 is designated to the Emergency Fund. This has been an astonishing year for the group and its cash reserves are still very healthy for a group of its size. 

On a personal note, as I step down from my role as Treasurer, I want to thank everyone for the huge efforts you put in to making this a successful and financially viable group. My job has been made so much easier because of the commitment and fastidious nature of everyone involved. It’s been a pleasure working with you all. 

## **Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held** 

The Group's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the group should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Group Executive Committee considers that the group should hold a sum equivalent to 12 months running costs, circa £20,000 



**Amount of reserves held** 

The Group held reserves of approximately £97,000 against this at year end. This is above the level required for operating expenses. However, this can be explained by funds designated for the hut Renovation Project, 

## **Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:** 

## **The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising).** 

Membership subscriptions, fundraising, donations, and grants 

## **Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted.** 

The Group's Income and Expenditure is very small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The Group has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short Term Investment Service. 

## **A description of the principal risks facing the charity.** 

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 them. The main areas of concern that have been identified are: − Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The Group through the membership fees contributes to The Scout Association’s national accident insurance policy and, in addition, the Group Executive has taken out additional insurance cover for parent helpers and others who assist the Group. 

Risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. Maintenance of a safe environment in line with government guidelines and Scout Association POR. 

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 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. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** Description of charity’s trusts: 

## **Type of governing document** 

The Group’s governing documents are those of 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 

## **How is the charity constituted?** 

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

## **Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees.** 

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

## **Additional information.** 

## **Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees.** 

Members of the Executive Committee complete _'Essential Information, Trustee Induction, GDPR, safety and safeguarding'_ training within the first 5 months of joining the committee. 



**The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works** 

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 (Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary), together with the Group Scout Leader, individual Section Leaders and representatives of parents and normally meets approximately 2 times a term. 

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.
