ANNUAL REPORT 2022/2023

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS

Scouting in Wharfedale offers many diverse activities and events to our members. It challenges and encourages our young people in any way possible enabling our young people to feel the buzz and excitement of the moment. Scouting offers a huge variety of activities both indoors and outdoors encompassing the individual and personalities of all our members and groups.

Wharfedale has grown in numbers this year, ever stronger, ever growing, still the largest District in West Yorkshire by some margin and within a whisker of our pre-pandemic numbers.

We are gaining more new leaders which is great news, this is a huge achievement due to lots of development work, for example in opening new squirrel and Explorer sections. Plans are also at an early stage to form an entirely new group in Pool.

Curly Hill continues to thrive - it is a wonderful facility providing opportunities for local groups but for young people from across the country. This is mainly due to a small but dedicated team who keep the centre well maintained. The team themselves would admit that they are not getting any younger so they would very much welcome new volunteers.

Reva has grown in the year with new permit holders, new kit and another dedicated team of volunteers who maintain the centre, train new permit holders and offer many opportunities for young people to get out on the water and learn new skills

Recently a new Adventurous Activities ASU has been established to widen the offering of activities we can provide which will hopefully grow to include archery, shooting, axe-throwing, hillwalking and rock-climbing. As a reminder, we have funds available for either training or kit to offer these or other activities to our Young People.

We are continuing to support groups with low volunteer numbers and advertising scouting to the public in every way possible. However we must always remember retention is a vital part of our development.

It is a real joy visiting sections on their group night and attending group AGM’s and always being amazed at the activities, themes and ideas delivered by our leaders and how much time is spent on planning and organising weekly activities, camps, and outings. What more commitment can one ask for?

The excellent work within Wharfedale District reflects on the standard of scouting we display on every District event, on group night and when on view to the public on St Georges Day or Remembrance Sunday. This can only happen with the hard work and commitment of all the leaders and helpers within the district along with their families, without whom it would not be possible.

Thanks to the District ADC team who plan, organise and attend district events. They work so hard giving many hours to scouting many of those hours unseen, planning and organising and attending events and meetings all of which helps towards the success of our District.

Also our Trustee board who give their time along with all the committee members in ensuring the success of our District as their priority.

Thanks to our Appointments committee (now Welcome) who have worked so hard in the past to completely change the appointments into a friendly welcoming but efficient committee, meeting regularly welcoming new members into Scouting.

Also our Service Team who are always there when asked to assist in any way they can - including at the AGM of course.

We have a jamboree team flying out to South Korea in July and wish them all the best in their jamboree journey.

Scouting transition is well on the way and now being put into practice by the District and the groups. We live in a rapidly changing world, but young people still love and yearn for challenge, adventure, and excitement that we in scouting can offer.

We have both said on many occasions, there is no other organisation that can offer what we offer as passionately as we do.

We thank you all from the heart for all you do in Scouting. Without you it would not happen!

Tim Haskins & Paul Jennings District Commissioners

CHAIR

Last year I said that I believe it’s important that Scouts is a great place to volunteer because fundamentally this will encourage new people to join, and for those already involved to stick around. What I couldn’t have foreseen at the time is the Scouting Policy Organisation and Rules (our POR) was about to be overhauled to reflect that very same sentiment.

So what we’re going to hear tonight is a rundown of all the great things we’ve done this last year to make Scouting fun for young people, and where the ‘young at heart’ around this table have provided leadership, advice and support for the 10 Scout Groups in the District.

First, I think a few words of explanation about how the POR changes impact our role on governance.

Governance

As part of the work to transform the volunteer experience within Scouts there will be changes to Executive Committees and how they function. The Scouting Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) now includes changes that reflect good practice guidance from the charity commission. Local Scouting governance and finance (Chapter 5) has been reworked with reference to Executive Committees replaced with ‘Trustee Boards.’ While these terms have changed in POR, the role will still be ‘Executive Committee Member’ on Compass until the release the new membership system.

In common with many Groups, Districts and Counties our Executive Committee/Trustee Board oversees a mixture of governance and operational tasks. Our previous focus has been heavily operational, and the Charity Commission are looking for a higher degree of focus on governance and meeting the charity commission rules. So long as we recognise that governance is our priority, I think our agendas are already balancing our governance oversight and operational tasks so for us I don’t see this as being a big change.

To bring our current structure in line with the good practice guidance set out by the charity regulators there are currently two key areas of change:

  1. Name: Executive Committees will be renamed Trustee Boards, members of which will be renamed Trustees. To help reinforce the purpose of Trustee Boards and focus on the role and responsibilities of being a charity Trustee. This renaming happens from the release of POR and does not need to be adopted or approved through AGMs.

  2. Purpose: Trustee Boards will have a clearer purpose statement, to fit with the focus on governance. This will mean ‘operational’ tasks are managed through the Group Leadership Team. These operational tasks can be carried out by people who are also Trustees, however, they will be managed under the relevant team rather than in their Trustee role.

In short, going forward we will be operating as a Trustee Board.

Financial Control

Costs and income broadly in line with last years with a modest increase in reserves. That healthy balance of £149k gives us 2 years coverage of running costs which is more than we need.

The Council's reserves policy is to hold approximately one year's worth of expenditure (excluding subscription fees paid in the year), which for this financial year is £43,300. So we need to hold £43k but we actually hold £149k. As in previous years while there is no rush to spend this amount, there remains funding for a suitable project as and when one is identified.

Thank you

Finally, I would like to say thank you for volunteering your time to make Scouting in Wharfedale the success that it is. It’s the people in this room that make the difference to so many young people and fellow volunteers: you give your time, set the tone and the enthusiasm and for that I thank you.

It has been great to be getting back into doing District Events with the Cubs.

In February we held the District Quiz night, it was well attended and the winning team was 2[nd] Otley Thursday Pack.

In April we held the swimming gala at Skipton Pool. Although only seven teams took part, they all had a great time. The winning team were 3[rd] Ben Rhydding which was fantastic considering they only had 3 Cubs in their team.

The District St Georges Day Parade was, once again, slightly different to the norm, being held at Otley Rugby Ground. 2[nd] Otley did an amazing job and kept all the young people interested throughout. The smartest Group in the parade was The Explorers.

John Sharpe, once again, organised and ran the 5-a-side football tournament at Wharfemeadows Park. 12 teams from 8 Packs took part and the winning team were 1[st] Ben Rhydding Chubb.

We still have quite a few events planned for the rest of the year and hopefully will start to get out and visit other Groups in the District.

And finally, a big thank you to all the leaders for organising and running their programmes for all Cubs to enjoy every week.

REVA

After a challenging start to 2022, waiting to find out what restrictions, if any would still be in place bookings

started trickle in for water activity sessions in the late spring. We ended up running over 15 activity sessions for groups from Wharfedale, Keighley and Aire Valley and through our continuing strong partnership with the county paddling team, we ran a successful Kayak/Canoe permit course at Reva

which benefitted leaders from all 3 districts. We also passed our annual RYA inspection which has meant that we can offer RYA courses in 2023.

3rd Bingley Sea Scouts and East Morton Scouts continued to use the facilities regularly throughout 2022 with over 50hrs on the water between them.

2023 has started very strongly with over 35 bookings coming in for the summer months. We have also run a bellboat permit training weekend and a RYA Level 2 powerboat course so far this year.

We have recently taken delivery of 8 brand new kayaks, thanks to a grant from Wharfedale district. These will enable young people the chance to have a go at Kayaking in our sheltered class C area.

CURLY HILL

I am delighted to report that after the considerable challenges of the pandemic visitors have returned to

Curly Hill in record numbers with 136 separate bookings from near and far. It is encouraging that whilst most of our visitors were from the Scout & Guide movement, we were also pleased to welcome other guests from the wider community including schools, police cadets, faith groups as well as new group using the site as a base for Forest Bathing.

We received lots of positive comments and fantastic feedback from our visitors.

Our ‘Wednesday Team’ of regular volunteers have continued to keep busy, working in accordance to ensure that the Centre & the Grounds were in great shape for our guests.

Improvements during the past 12months include:

Maps available online (via link from new website) and hard copies available in cupboards located in entrance hall.

Suitable for Beavers upwards. Younger children may need some assistance.

New website – including updated photographs (including drone footage) completed and working well – has already generated 100+ new enquiries.

https://www.wharfedalescouts.org.uk/curlyhill/

We have also fully updated google information/pictures.

End of season BBQ for Wardens and Executive was well attended (20+) including first visit from our County Commissioner, Ian Womersley.

Many thanks to our team of hardworking volunteer wardens that host our many visitors. Great that we were able to recruit x3 new members to the team. Thanks also to our booking secretary, Sarah Betts who has continued to do a fantastic job dealing efficiently with high volume of booking enquiries.

Recent uplift in energy costs will be a challenge for us, however (to date) we have been able to absorb these so as to keep our charges as low as possible for our visitors whilst at the same time managing to cover our costs as well as making a contribution to Scouting within the District.

Plans for 2023 include new leaders lounge/meeting area so that group leaders will have somewhere to relax once the young people have gone to sleep, new cooker for the kitchen, upgrading of internal electrics, along with refurbishment of the gents’ indoor toilets. We are also keen to further develop our activity offering.

LIONHEARTS

I opened this report in April 2022 with the sad news of the passing of founder member Dave Hunt, Big Dave, was it really a year ago.

This also brings the team to reflect on the fact that the number of our team members is getting smaller and we are all getting older !!

As things have return to normal and our events are taking place once again, it was great to assist once again:-

The Cub quiz, The Calderdale Hike, The Fellsman cafe, St Georges Day Parade, The Scout & Explorer Torch race, The BT 3 Peaks Event, Cubs Sports & Swimming Gala.

The district AGM has returned to the always successful cheese and wine format.

So many events that have been running successfully for many years are now struggling for numbers which asks the question are people looking for different things in terms of outdoor challenges.

Our main event and income for the year the BT Staff and Friends Dales 3 Peaks Race is set to close with the 2023 event after some 50 years.

The Fellsman Hike is looking to finish next year with the 60[th] Anniversary of the event.

Improvements and the new grass cutting tractor is working well, with the erection of a very exciting timber Gazebo now with walls. It is a tribute to the work of our team of dedicated wardens who carry out many hours there.

So after 2 years of ups and downs we carry on forward with the work of the service team.

I would like to thank you our members, for all the time and energy that you all give to the work of the Lionhearts. I would like to extend our gratitude to our secretary Bruce, Treasurer Lin, vice chairman Gary and our special stand in chairman Roger Granville.

We were able to once again enjoy the Service Team Christmas Dinner at the Red Lion and it was very much enjoyed by all.

Thanks once again to the team Yours in scouting Iain Paterson

Accounting Policies & Notes to the Accounts

1. Accounting Policy

From 1 April 2022 the accounts of Wharfedale District Scout Council have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis. The comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been restated on this basis.

2. Assets retained for the charity's own use

Fixed assets used by the charity are recorded in the accounts at their insurance value.

3. Reserves

The Council's reserves policy is to hold approximately one year's worth of expenditure (excluding subscription fees paid in the year), which for this financial year is £43,300 (2022: £69,286). Cash reserves at 31 March 2023 were £110,189 (after deducting the subscription fees of £39,150 payable shortly after the year end) and therefore continue to exceed this target. The Council continues to seek projects to undertake that are in line with its charitable objectives and the Projects sub-committee is actively seeking projects to fund, which will utilise the surplus.
