Scout Association Registration number 11654 Charity Registration number 524688

Annual Report 2024/2025

Trustees Annual Report for Structure, Governance and Management.

The Scout 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. 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 Group Trustee Board, 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 two independent representatives, Chair & Treasurer, together with the Group Lead Volunteer, nominated / co-opted members & meets 4 to 6 times a year.

Group Trustees must act collectively, and in the best interests of its members to:

b) ensure that the Group’s finances are properly managed, including development and maintenance of appropriate budgets to support the work of the Group

c) maintain and manage:

d) ensure that people, property and equipment are appropriately insured, and that any property and equipment owned or used by the Group is properly protected and maintained

e) ensure the appointment and management and operation of any subcommittees, including appointing a Chair to lead the sub-committee. This should normally be one of the Group’s Trustees.

f) ensure that effective administration is in place to support the work of the Group Trustee Board

g) appoint any co-opted members of the Group Trustee Board

h) ensure transparency of operation, including:

i) take responsibility for the Group’s adherence to Data Protection Legislation recognising that, dependent on circumstances, it will at different times act as a Data Controller and as a Data Processor

j) individually and collectively maintain confidentiality regarding appropriate Group Trustee Board business

k) put in place annually an open and transparent selection process to recommend to the Group Scout Council appropriate members to be appointed members of the Group Trustee Board, including Chair and Treasurer. Vacancies for appointed Trustees only occur at the end of their period of appointment (for example, a Trustee may have been appointed for three years and so does not need to be re-appointed or re-selected after years 1 and 2).

Objectives and Activities

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. 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 at udes. Co-operation - We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends. 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.

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. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should take part in.

Financial Review

The Scout 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

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. The Group Trustee Board monitors the levels of bank balances to ensure the Group receives maximum value and income from its banking arrangements.

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.

Chair’s Report Year Ending 31 March 2025

A year of milestones for the Group.

This year, 2025, marks 95 years of scouting in Marske! In December 2024, we celebrated 60 years of busy, fun, activities in our wonderful Scout Hut!

These milestones are only made possible through the dedication and hard work of our amazing volunteers. We thank all of our volunteers, past and present, for their time and commitment to 1st Marske & New Marske Barn Owls Scout Group.

Enjoy reading this Year's Review- it's packed!

If you feel you would like to join this band of volunteers please speak to any member of the Group, you will be more than welcomed.

Treasurer Report Year Ending 31 March 2025

Subscription receipts for 2024-2025 totalled £17,540, £160 down on 2024, however, with the Explorers finances coming under the group going forward, I now envisage that this will increase again next year. Therefore, we will be expecting gift aid in the region of £4,000 again. Thanks to Carole and Sue for their hard work in recovering this. Grants & Donations are down to £8,823 (of which £4,232 was gift aid), and £4420 restricted to purchase of new tables, chairs and storage trolleys. Fundraising raised £2390 with some of this targeted towards the Larkin camp. Many thanks to those who helped and supported the events that we ran. We will be looking at more fundraising activities for the forth coming year and would welcome any ideas.

Running costs are still a concern, especially electric and gas but hopefully the reduction in tariffs may help. Many thanks to Carole again for securing the best deal possible. Another cost is our music license which the Trustees and I consider unfair for the usage and Sue has worked hard to get a small reduction.

When we set the budget for 2024, we believed there would be a decrease in badges and uniforms but increased training fees based on planned outdoor first aid course. Trustees decided not to increase subs but reminded all sections we didn’t have a bottomless pit of money, so we maintained the budget of £3,500 for sections, an increase of £300, as opposed £3,200 the previous year. We applaud all sections as you all came in well under the set figure. Please keep up the good work as I don’t believe any sections suffered or did less.

The groups emergency fund will remain at £20,000 for this year in line with our reserves policy should there be no income, which would cover annual costs of running the group. The balance sheet at the end of 2024-25 reads £48,864 an increase of £8,736 on 2023-24 so we are still on the right financial projective. We will be looking for an investment programme in the coming months but it will have to be right for us. Even with the £20,000 emergency fund to come out of the balance the Group finances remain healthy. I would like to thank the finance team for all their help this year. Thanks also to those involved in the Scouts international Camp Larkin 24. I still enjoy some of the photos and stories my daughter randomly tells me so keep on Scouting.

Squirrel Scouts report 2024-2025

The first Marske Squirrel Drey is now in its second year and continues to grow from strength to strength. We are incredibly grateful to our new leaders Victoria & Laura and our young volunteer Millie, who have joined the team this year. With their support we have been fortunate to be able to increase our numbers to 18 with an extremely healthy waiting list too.

Following on from last year’s successes, we have continued to have another exciting year in and out of the hut. We have welcomed guests from Marske Litter Action, Cleveland Police and the R.N.L.I we even got to meet a real astrophysicist, Matthew Dark, who brought along a satellite to show us.

The Super Chef Squirrels cooked pancakes, decorated biscuits, created their own pizzas and tried some new textured and flavoured foods.

The Squirrels designed their own postcards to send to a drey in Wales and we received a lovely letter back.

The Squirrels have scurried onto the beach to complete a scavenger hunt sheet, searched for eggs on an Easter egg hunt, played some wide games on the Headlands and have finished our May half term with a sponsored walk in aid of the R.N.L.I. Thank you to those parents who joined us for our outdoor activities.

It really is surprising how much fun, stories, games and badge work we can fit into an hour a week. A big thank you to all the leaders, parents and helpers without your support the amazing experience, life skills and badges earned would not be possible.

Beaver Scouts Headland and Valley Colonies report 2024-2025

The two Beaver sections Valley Colony (Tuesday) and Headland Colony (Friday) work from the same programme. Team members 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 the opportunity to gain their Bronze Award – the highest award for the Beaver section. Congratulations to the 20 Beavers who have gained their award over the year. 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. Completing several activity badges: Digital Maker, Book Reader, Money Skills, Disability Awareness (which included a visit to Marske Hall for an evening of games with the residents and a visit from Jasper, a therapy dog, with a NE charity visiting older people in their own homes, hospital or care homes). For the Space Activity Badge we had a visit from Matthew, a previous member of our Scout group who now works for a company making satellites in the Netherlands. Before half term beavers completed the first stage of the Air Activities Badge which was led by our Young Leaders.

As well as the activity badges, we have been working on the 6 challenge awards. As part of the World Challenge Badge, we welcomed two visitors from the Council in November who did activities showing us how to recycle correctly. In December, we had our annual visit to Marske Hall to sing carols where we are always made to feel very welcome. In January, as part of International Celebrations, we played Highland Games and tasted some Scottish food; Haggis was surprisingly popular! In February, we had to have our usual pancake making evening and pancake tossing relay game. We've also made bug hotels which we put in the garden outside the scout hut, learnt the Green Cross Code and completed many Teamwork Challenges and games.

We have had several joint nights with other Beaver Colonies from our District; a walk from Marske to Saltburn; a trail in NM woods and we're planning a day trip to WWT, Washington, in September (so look out for the invite). Recently, we made some scarecrows for the Marske trail over half term. Unfortunately, with the weather they got rather soggy. We also had a sleepover at the scout hut for those older beavers who hadn't had a night away. They enjoyed a campfire and songs with s'mores as well as activities on the beach.

In the coming weeks until the summer holidays, we have planned lots of outdoor activities and not forgetting our annual sleepover at Kettleness in July.

Cub Scouts Puma and Leopard Pack 2024–2025

The Cub section run a joint programme for both Leopard & Puma Packs which is shaped by suggestions from the Cubs, during termly Pack Forums. The programme offers progression for Cubs through the challenge badges needed to earn top awards and includes both fun activities & games, skills training and Nights Away experiences. Cub Team members share organisation of the activities for both Packs and work together to ensure continuity in programmes and badges for all 1[st] Marske & New Marske Cubs.

It is amazing what the Cubs get up to each year and the following are some month-by-month highlights. September: Cubs walked round Marske as part of the Local Knowledge Activity Badge & Navigator Staged 2. Cubs also did rope making and learnt knots & lashings for a mini pioneering project for the Pioneering Badge. October: Cubs gained First Aid skills, went to the Group Presentation evening and found out about Diwali. November: Cubs completed a reflection craft for Remembrance and visited RNLI station at Redcar. December: Cubs were Entertainers, took part in the Santa parade, Christingles and Christmas activities. January: Cubs did both the Home and Personal safety Activity Badges and celebrated Chinese New Year. February: Cubs had a go at soft archery & axe throwing and completed a history of scouting quiz. March: Cubs enjoyed the Scientist Badge and we had a visit to Clip & Climb, requested by the Cubs. April: Cubs had a visit from the Community Police Support Officer and completed games & challenges. May: Cubs were building shelters & doing a blind trail in the woods & then planting in the Valley Gardens. June & July : will focus on some more outdoor Scouting activities and the communicators activity badge.

Our annual joint Camp at Kettleness, was based on the theme of Knights and saw the majority of those attending staying over this year with only a few day visitors. Friday night saw lots of craft activities making swords, shields and crowns. On Saturday it was a full day of activities with archery, mini pioneering, fire lighting and knights training, including some fencing and firing a trebuchet. We finished Saturday with an enjoyable campfire led by Andy, Amik, Kaa and Bagheera with all the Cubs in good voice. Sunday saw the knights completing a quest walking a circular route around Kettleness. The weather was fine apart from an unexpected hail shower on the hike! A great camp with some excellent food thanks to our catering Team.

Leaders are very proud of all our Cubs who worked hard to earn 600 badges, including Challenge, Activity, Staged and Sixer & Seconder badges, over the past 12 months. We also started a new Youth Shaped Badge which helped shape our Autumn Programme. We have awarded 11 Cubs, their Chief Scouts Silver Award, the highest Award for the Cub section, this year. Congratulations to you all.

Our cubs have also joined other packs from across East Cleveland District at events during the year. In the autumn term, our cubs were both winners & runners up at the quiz in November. A mini golf competition in February was enjoyed by Cubs from around the district and we are sending 2 Teams for a game of Monopoly around Saltburn in July. Thanks to the District Programme Team for organizing these events.

Both packs saw a drop in numbers in the early part of 2025, which we have not experienced for many years. However, with an intake of Beavers moving on to the Cub section after Easter and also a number of Cubs joining who have not experienced Scouting before numbers in both Packs are again picking up.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our regular leadership team for their continued work volunteering in the Cub section so enabling us to provide a varied programme of activities this year. We have also been joined by parent helpers who have both covered leader absence and joining us when extra adults are needed for outdoor activities. Thank you for supporting the Cub section this year.

Scouts Allerton and Zetland Troop Report 2024 – 2025

Our summer term last year focused on having fun outside while working on team building. We spent time on the beach, practised putting up patrol tents and had training camps ready for the epic summer adventure to Larkin. We also had a visit from the time capsule celebrating the 50[th] birthday of Cleveland Scouts. We spent time exploring the local woods and learning about forestry.

While it seems like much longer ago, we actually went to Larkin’24 International Jamboree in July 2024, which means it falls into this year’s AGM report! The team took a group of Scouts and Explorers to Duncombe Park, near Helmsley for a weeklong camp with 1000s of other young people. It’s safe to say I’ve never been on a camp with such amazing weather. We had an amazing time with lots of onsite activities, some trips of site, evening entertainment and lots of new friends made. It’s our hope that this camp inspired many of our Scouts and Explorers to consider going on one of the larger international camps such as WSJ Poland and Haarlem Jamborette, both coming up in 2027

After the excitement of Larkin, it was back to business as usual, in the autumn term we worked on our Photography badge, Scientist and Physical Recreation badges and completed our World Challenge Badge. Because we booked more than a year in advance, we were able to have our traditional Christmas Camp at our favourite Scout centre in Carton-in-Cleveland. This is always a popular camp with the Scouts and we had lots of festive fun.

Following the Christmas break, we worked on our Astronomer badge, which included a fascinating visit from an ex-Barn Owl Matthew Dark, who talked to us about satellites and even brought one in to show us (the leaders were possibly more excited than the Scouts!!) We continued to work on scouting skills such as pioneering and fire lighting as well as important skills for life such as first aid.

My final words as always are those of gratitude to 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: Ian, Dave, Matt, Jamie, Will and Steve - Scouting takes planning and organising and wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s contribution. This year we’ve recently been privileged to welcome 3 of our Young Leaders into the team as Adult Leaders, Cameron, Dylan and Joe.

Lastly, thanks as always to the parents and adults who support the young people with their scouting endeavours and to the trustees and management committee who provide such support in the background – we look forward to many exciting adventures in the coming year.

Rach – Scout Team Member (on behalf of the Scout Team)

East Cleveland District Explorer Marske Unit

Annual Report 2024-2025

The highlight of the year was participating in the Larkin Jamboree alongside thousands of other scouts from across the country. Although it came with its challenges, it was an amazing experience collaborating closely with our scout sections. One notable event was when the Explorers created their own challenge to fill a paddling pool with water. They carried water butts back and forth to the water point countless times and even enlisted help from other contingents. Additionally, the Explorers turned our team member Paul, who was part of the stage crew, into a full-blown camp celebrity.

We had two teams enter Operation Escape again this year, both finishing in respectable positions.

Our winter camp at Kettleness was a success once again. This year, the theme was Taskmaster/ I'm a Celebrity, with leaders setting challenges for the young participants. However, the Explorers took the initiative to set their own, arguably the most difficult challenge: carrying a log for over 5km on their hike.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to my fellow leaders, Paul and Leo, for their unwavering support over the past year. I also extend my thanks to Sue and the team for their tireless efforts in maintaining the hut and ensuring the group's smooth operation.

Young Leaders

Annual Report 2024-2025

We currently have young people volunteering with all sections of 1[st] Marske & New Marske Scout Group. Some are young leaders continuing their scouting, others are volunteering as part of the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme or via a college course. All are gaining experience of working with both young people and adult volunteers, as well as improving skills of communication, leadership and working as part of a team.

As the District has focused more effort supporting the programme for the 14 to 18 age range, there have been more opportunities for Young Leaders over the past 12 months. These include training opportunities, activities and to meet other Young Leaders working in other Groups and Districts. Module A training, a full weekend course at Kettleness as well as one day First Aid Training courses have been well attended.

Many more young leaders are now fully involved in the Young Leader Scheme, leading games, activities and joining leaders at planning meetings as well as attending camps and sleepovers. We have presented a number of Young Leader mission awards and hope some will complete their Young Leader belt next term.

As you collect your young person from section meetings, the Young Leaders are now easy to spot in their Royal Blue Hoodies, which we thank East Cleveland District Scouts for providing. The Barn Owls will also be hosting an event for all Young Leaders, working in local Groups, in the coming weeks as a social event and to share ideas.

Group Lead Volunteer Report 2024 - 2025

From time to time, Scout Groups face challenges which disrupt the usual smooth running of the whole scout group and place extra demands on leader’s time. The last scouting year has been a challenging one for a number of reasons; however, we will endeavour to work through them so we can continue to provide the best possible scouting experience for all members of the Barn Owls

The new Scout adult volunteer membership system, which went live in November last year, has created lots of challenges. Once it is up and running, I am sure it will be easier to manage leader records and training but many leaders have had problems logging in and it has resulted in some delay getting new volunteers onto the system and for leaders completing training. The Scout Association will continue to support leaders with the new system in the coming months. We continue to encourage all our volunteer’s complete adult training for their role. This year, we also offered a 2-day outdoor First Aid course to our leaders and also, with some District Funding, a First Response First Aid course to both adults, Young Leaders & Explorers was held in the Scout Hut.

Andy, team leader at Allerton for many years, did not return to Scouting last September and Ian had to take on the role of Team Leader supported by the rest of the Scout Team from both nights. I would like to thank all the leaders in the Scout Team, and other leaders who helped, covering Allerton over the past year. We have been fortunate that Joe, Cameron and Dylan, formally Young Leaders with the scouts, have turned 18 and taken on an adult appointment and have started their scouting learning journey. We also lost experienced leaders in all sections, over the last year. Beaver Leader Jo and section assistant Jon. Cub Leader Robin and Scout Leader Andy H. We thank them for their long service to the Barn Owls. We have been lucky enough to welcome new leaders Victoria and Laura to the squirrel section, as well as a Young Leader Millie.

The January 2025 census showed we had 151 youth members and an additional 10 Young Leaders who work with sections. This was a slight decrease on previous years. Squirrel numbers have been increased to help reduce the waiting list. Beavers continue to be full but numbers are down in both the Cub and Scout sections. Sue J continues to manage the joining list and moving on of young people and is quick to fill places available. We will monitor this but hopefully section numbers, in the older sections, will increase as the next batch of young people move on.

District events for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer sections have continued this year with leaders meeting on a regular basis. The Barn Owls hosted this year’s St George Day Service at St Marks Church, which was well attended by Groups from both East Cleveland and Redcar & Eston Districts. The district has focused addition support for both training and activities on the 14 to 18 age range, including expedition training for Chief Scout and DofE awards.

Developments of the Scout Hut site continued outside this year. Over Easter work was also done on the Scout Hut drive, to repair the edge and remove the gap between the Scout Hut driveway and our neighbours. Thanks again to Brimms. In the next few weeks, Mel’s husband Scott and his team from Virgin Media will return to terrace the last piece of the Scout Hut Garden, which we can then plant up. Thank you to all volunteers who work on the garden during the year and for keeping the grass cut. We have also now managed to replace all our tables and chairs through grants from Woodsmith Foundation and Tees Foundation.

We have joined in the usual events in the local community and you may have noticed the Beavers Scarecrows Ben & Holly if you did the trail at the end of May. Fundraising events at the Scout Hut have been amazing this year, both well supported by families and have raised valuable funds for the Scout Group. Thanks to all who contributed either with prizes or by attending. Through these events we were able to reduce the cost of Larkin 24. This camp was no doubt a great experience for the Scout, Explorers and leaders, who attended and thanks must go to the Leaders and catering team for giving up a week of the summer holiday for the Scouts to experience a camp on a larger scale.

Reading this report will have highlighted just what an active Scout Group we are across all sections. Thank you to the leadership teams at the Barn Owls, for providing a fun, active and balanced programmes which allows our members to achieve their top awards for their section. Members learn and develop skills, experience new opportunities through Scouting, as well as making new friends along the way.
