ANNUAL REPORT 2023/2024

CHAIR

As we wrap up another successful year of Wharfedale Scouting it’s important to take a moment to reflect on our journey, express our gratitude, and acknowledge the challenges and triumphs that have shaped our path forward. This year-end report serves as a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work of our volunteers, whose unwavering commitment has been the cornerstone of our success.

A Year of Growth:

Over the past year, our scouting community has continued to grow in both size and spirit. We've welcomed new members into our ranks, witnessed the personal growth and development of our Scouts, and celebrated countless achievements and milestones right across the district. From outdoor adventures to community service projects, each experience has contributed to the rich tapestry of memories that define our scouting journey.

Gratitude for Volunteers:

At the heart of our scouting movement are the volunteers who generously give their time, expertise, and energy to empower our scouts and shape the leaders of tomorrow. To each and every volunteer who has lent a helping hand, shared their skills, or simply offered a word of encouragement, we extend our sincerest gratitude. Your dedication is the lifeblood of our organisation, and without your tireless efforts, none of our accomplishments would be possible. Importantly, there are volunteers known to us personally who have sadly passed on this last year and its only right that we reflect on the service and support they have given to so many young people over their lifetimes.

Challenges:

While we celebrate our achievements, it's essential to acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead.

• We have changes to Scouting POR that need to be embedded, and my thanks go to our Secretary Chris for his unwavering research and support to help guide us through the various rules and regulations.

• Another challenge is ensuring the continuity of our scouting programs through effective succession planning and addressing the age profile of our volunteers. As we look to the next year, it's imperative that we actively recruit and mentor the next generation of leaders to carry the torch forward. By fostering a culture of mentorship and providing opportunities for leadership development, we can ensure the longevity and vitality of our scouting community for years to come.

• Reva have also embarked on a challenge to refurbish their facilities with the main thrust being fund raising. I know from my experience this is not an easy task and we look forward to hearing more about their progress over the next 12 months.

Financial Control:

On the financial front, I am pleased to report that our organisation remains in good order. We will hear more this shortly but thanks to prudent management, we have been able to maintain financial stability and continue to invest in the growth and development of our scouting programs. Moving forward, we will remain vigilant in our financial stewardship, ensuring that our funds are allocated wisely to support our mission and serve our scouts.

Looking Ahead:

In closing, I would like to once again express my deepest gratitude to each and every volunteer who has contributed to the success of our scouting programs this year. Your passion, dedication, and selflessness embody the spirit of scouting, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Here's to another year of adventure, learning, and personal growth!

Beavers in Wharfedale is thriving. All 12 Colonies are running to capacity with numbers ranging from 16 to 24 and all have waiting lists. Unfortunately due to the length of some of these not everyone will get a place in Beavers but hopefully they will get a place in Cubs.

Talking to the leaders the Beavers are taking part in a wide range of activities some highlights being Bell Boating at Reva, visits to Ilkley Fire Station, visits by the Police, walks on Ilkley Moor and Otley Chevin, meetings at Clip’n’Climb and Sleepovers.

Although several Colonies have a healthy leadership team there are others who are in need of more volunteers.

Four Colonies are looking forward to taking part in BramJam in June.

Next Year I am planning on re-instating the District Fun Day at Curly Hill which hasn’t taken place since 2019 before COVID.

Judith Dickinson

ADC Beavers

We have enjoyed being back running District events this last 12 months. Here’s what we’ve been up to.

In June we enjoyed a lovely hot summers evening at the District Activity Evening at Curly Hill, approx. 120 Cubs enjoyed all the activities that were put on by the leaders of each Group. We finished off with a campfire and a sing-along.

In July last year we held the District Sports Day, although it started out a little bit wet it was well supported. The winning team was Ilkley Christchurch. Special thanks to the Service team for setting up the field and running the event so smoothly.

In November we held the District Cooking Competition at 1[st] Ben Rhydding HQ. Although we only had five Groups taking part it was very enjoyable. After making a stir fry with noodles and decorating a caterpillar cake the winners were 1[st] Ben Rhydding Chubb. They all enjoyed eating their creations afterwards.

In February we held the District Quiz at Otley Bridge Church, again we only had five Groups taking part, but it was really well organised by the Service Team. The winning team was 1[st] Ben Rhydding Findlay.

The District St. Georges Day Celebration was organised by the Wharfedale Explorers. It was held at Otley Rugby Club, although we didn’t actually parade all the children enjoyed taking part in the games which had been organised for them. The trophy was awarded to Ilkley Christchurch.

The 5-a-side football tournament took place in April at Wharfemeadows Park in Otley. Twelve teams took part and winning team was 1[st] Ben Rhydding Findlay. Many thanks to John Sharpe for organising this event.

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

REVA

Bookings were very strong for 2023. We ran activity sessions most weekends and evenings between May and September. It is one of the best seasons from a booking perspective for a long time. A lot of new permit holders that went through training paid for by Wharfedale district in 2022 volunteered and it was brilliant to see lots of new faces.

We also passed our annual RYA inspection which has meant that we can offer RYA courses in 2024.

The centre was used weekly by 3[rd] Bingley, East Morton and 1[st] Ben Rhydding throughout the season.

2024 has started very strongly with over 35 bookings coming in for the summer months. We are having a bit of a second season syndrome though regarding permit holders volunteering their time to help with these bookings. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel 2 large bookings due to no volunteers coming forward to assist. Hopefully this is just a blip and we don’t need to cancel anymore.

We have recently started fundraising for the inside of the main centre building to be transformed to give everyone a better experience when they visit Reva. The fundraising is being headed up by Lisa Nutton and she has done a great job so far. If anybody thinks that they could assist Lisa, please email her on [e-mail]

You don’t need a permit to help her!

The centre is still being run by the same half a dozen people that have been involved for years. If you fancy a new challenge and would like to get involved in some way, please email [e-mail]

Again, you don’t need a water sport permit to assist operating the centre. We have a wide variety of jobs that need doing to keep the centre ticking over.

James Adams SASU manager – Reva

CURLY HILL

We are delighted to report another busy year at Curly Hill with 126 separate bookings from near and far (136 last year). Over 3000 young people visited the site in the last 12 months and were able to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors and the amazing countryside. 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 a 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 hard to ensure that the Centre & the Grounds were in great shape for our guests.

Improvements during the past 12months include:

• New seating for the Mary Bushell Shelter at top of camping field. Lots of positive feedback from

• guests.

• New Indoor Chairs

• New Cooker & Extraction System

• Complete Refurbishment of Gents Indoor Toilets & Shower

Whilst not immediately apparent, nevertheless vitally important we also undertook upgrade of electrics and fire safety systems within main building.

Externally we installed new CCTV as well as a ‘refresh’ of the car park with new limestone.

Many thanks to our team of hardworking volunteer wardens that host our many visitors. Thanks also to our booking secretary, Sarah Betts who has continued to do a fantastic job dealing efficiently with high volume of booking enquiries.

The unusually wet weather has made things difficult for our volunteers and our visitors – keeping the centre and toilet block clean has been a challenge.

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

Plans for 2024 include completion of new lounge/meeting area so that group leaders will have somewhere to relax once the young people have gone to sleep. We are also keen to further develop our activity offering.

Jeremy Ince Curly Hill Active Support Team.

LIONHEARTS

Once again we reflect on the fact that the number of team members is getting smaller and we are all getting older!!

But we are still able to assist once again on our calendar of activities such as:-

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.

Also the District AGM which has continued with the always successful cheese and wine format.

We all thought that our main funding event the BT 3 Peaks fell race had closed for good with the 2023 event being the last one ever after some 45 years. The event is returning for 2024 with a new team of organisers and a good number of entrants.

The Fellsman Hike was looking likely to finish in 2024 with the 60[th] Anniversary of the event. But once again it is enjoying a high number of entrants.

Curly Hill is looking very good with the completion of many new improvements and the refurbishment of the male toilets and the completion of the Leaders den complemented by an exciting order of new chairs to replace the unpopular old chairs. It is a tribute to the work of our team of dedicated wardens who put in many hours there.

It has been a special year as many of the Lionhearts have received an award to mark their many years of outstanding service to scouting.

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.

Thanks once again to the team Yours in scouting Iain Paterson

DISTRICT POLICIES

ADC BUDGETS

Each Assistant District Commissioner (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts) should have £500.00 per year to spend on organising activities.

In January 2024 this was extended to Explorers and Network.

ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITY PERMITS

District has a ‘hardship fund’ which can be drawn upon if cost is a genuine barrier stopping a member obtaining a permit.

If you or your Group are worried about the cost of any of these courses please speak to or send an email to Richard Robinson (ADC activities) [e-mail] or to Paul Jennings/Tim Haskins (District Lead Volunteers) [e-mail]

CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS COSTS OF INTERNATIONAL TRIPS

District will only offer donations for events organised by West Yorkshire County or Nationally.

We will offer 10% of the total cost for World Jamboree and other events where the young person has to achieve something (eg Explorer Belt) . . . and 5% of the total cost for other events.

District adult volunteers attending those events can also apply.

INTERNATIONAL FUND

When a District Group organises an International trip a grant of 20% of the total cost of the trip (up to a maximum of £200) will be available to young people who are deemed to be from a family with financial hardship, the sponsoring group must also provide a 5% grant to the individual.

An individual can apply for this grant once during their time in each section.

Young people applying to the fund must meet at least one of the criteria for financial hardship.

Evidence that can help you make the best judgement of ‘financial hardship’ would be if a family is in receipt of/eligible for one of the following:

• Total household income level below £20,000

• Young carer (recognised by relevant authorities)

• Looked after child (in care)

• Free school meals* or pupil premium funding

• Income Support

• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance

• Income-related employment and support allowance

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• Child Tax Credit (provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit) and annual income does not exceed £16,190 as assessed by HMRC

• Working tax credit

• Universal Credit

• Housing Benefit

• Disability Living Allowance (related to the young person or parent)

• Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

*Free school meals are provided to all pupils in the lower years of primary schools in England and Wales, so the other indicators are more valid in these circumstances.

The above list is subject to change and is found on the Scouts Association website www.scouts.org.uk
