## District Chair’s Report 

Throughout the period which this Annual Report covers the Covid-19 pandemic has clearly affected the “normal” delivery of Scouting to our young people. Nevertheless, despite the restrictions many of our volunteer leaders and supporters have done their very best to ensure the continuity of Scouting with events and activities taking place when deemed safe to do so. 

The reports that follow clearly portray the varied programmes delivered by the volunteers in all sections throughout Fylde District despite the many restrictions during the pandemic. The commitment of the District Executive Committee members has continued throughout the year. The committee meetings have continued virtually using the Zoom facility and I would like to thank them for their tireless support and good governance in what has been a challenging 12 months. 

I would like to thank Richard Johnson for his continued commitment to the Treasurer’s role and for the clarity of his financial reports. The annual statement of accounts clearly shows the adverse effect of the pandemic on the income from our Activity Centre. However we were fortunate in receiving the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant along with other Covid-19 grants which certainly helped with our fixed costs during the period our Centre remained closed. Prior to the Census in January the Executive Committee decided not to apply the District levy and International Fund levy as a way to financially support our Groups and Units. 

Since the “readiness level” changed to “yellow” the enquiries and bookings for our site have seen a marked increase. Clearly our site continues to be a popular destination and credit is due to the service crew volunteers, Explorer Scouts, Network members and SASU members. Collectively they have ensured that our site has been well maintained even during the pandemic. In addition, thanks to the Africa 2022 contingent the redevelopment work on the camp fire circle in memory of Edward Dee has restarted. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank John Swarbrick for continuing to deal with the site bookings as well as helping me by keeping a watchful eye on our site and buildings. 



Sadly, in July Ron Green passed away. He was very active for many years in the District especially with our campsite. Ron, along with his wife Maureen were in all but name site wardens from the early 1980's until the fire destroyed our DHQ in 2010. He was a member of our District Executive Committee for 17 years and chaired the Site Management Committee for most of that time. In addition he became our District Archivist painstakingly gathering historic details of Scouting within the District. Thanks to Ron's determination and vision we have the activity barn, which fortunately wasn't destroyed with the fire in 2010. He was certainly the main driving force from the outset realising the benefits the facility would bring to the site. Without a doubt Ron made a significant contribution to Scouting and his legacy has benefitted countless young people within the District and beyond. 

In September 2019 we welcomed Cath Lee as Derek Wright’s successor in the DC role. Over the last two years she has settled in very well. Cath’s wealth of experience in Scouting has clearly been beneficial especially during the pandemic and she has the full support of the Executive Committee and the District Team. Cath’s son Joe has also settled in well as our Media Manager. He has been very active in this role, in particular with the introduction of our new website, communications across the District and recently with the sourcing of “Scouts” branded items. 

Despite the Covid-19 restrictions over the last 12 months I am confident that the return to face-to-face Scouting will restore our level of membership to pre pandemic numbers. Our young people and indeed our adults have missed Scouting and there is already evidence of this with the increased number of “want to join” enquiries. In addition, judging by the increasing numbers of bookings our Activity Centre will be once again be occupied regularly with young people enjoying the facilities. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Cath, the District Team along with the leaders in all sections every success over the next twelve months. There will be many challenges ahead and the District Executive will ensure the required support and governance.

## District Commissioner’s Report 

Hello and welcome to the 2020/2021 Annual Report. This year has been one of the most challenging years we have had but, in true Scouting style, we have continued to deliver great programmes and activities to our young people despite face-to-face scouting being suspended for most of the year. 

This fantastic achievement is solely down to the amazing leaders we have in the District who, like us all, will have been facing their own personal challenges during the pandemic yet realised that our young people needed our help and support. A huge thank you to each and every person who helped ensure our young people could continue with their Scouting activities over the past year. 

Our programmes and methods of delivery had to be adapted, we had to learn innovative technology, but we enabled our young people to keep in touch with their friends and continue to earn badges and awards and probably most importantly we supported their mental health. 

Again, a highlight was to see a number of our young people continue to earn their top awards during the past year – well done to every one of you! 

Face to face scouting outdoors started towards the end of the year and it was great to see the faces of the young people, and the leaders, light up as they saw each other in person. However, this brought with it the need to complete covid compliant risk assessments. A new team and process was set up to approve these risk assessments and I’d like to thank the members of the Risk Assessment Control Group (RACG) who reviewed and approved all the Risk Assessments. It was an additional task to their normal roles and their help and support meant that we could get our sections meeting face to face quickly and safely. Thank you – Duncan Cairns, Ross MacDonald, Sarah Webster, Chris Jeffrey, Derek Wright, and Janet Jones. 



As a District we could not run our normal Programme activities, but a couple of highlights were our Clap for Carers video and our Twelve Days Of Christmas Challenge. In fact, the Christmas Challenge was so popular we are running this again but with a different twist. 

As we look forward to the next Scouting year, we need to ensure that we can continue to deliver great, fun, scouting to the young people of Fylde. We have already seen an increase in Want to Join applications and we want to be able to offer each of these young people, and adults, a place in our Scouting family. 

Once again, I want to thank every single person who has helped the District through the most challenging of circumstances this year. Our volunteers, our parents, and our young people have shown that by working together we have achieved amazing things. 

Cath Lee District Commissioner
