# **ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENT April 2021 - March 2022**
In April 2021 the Covid-19 “readiness level” for activities and events was still at “yellow”. Despite the restrictions our volunteer leaders and supporters continued to ensure that Scouting events and activities were delivered safely. As the year progressed the “readiness level” eventually moved to “green” enabling Scouting to cautiously return to “near normal”. The reports that follow clearly illustrate the varied programme delivered throughout Fylde District in all sections as restrictions were eased.
I would like to thank the members of the District Executive Committee for their continued support and commitment throughout the year. Despite the Covid-19 restrictions committee meetings have continued using the Zoom facility and eventually returning to face-to-face meetings. This continuity has enabled the Executive Committee to not only ensure good governance but also provide support to Cath Lee and her District Team.
In particular 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 indicates how the pandemic continued to affect the income from our Activity Centre. However, we were fortunate to continue 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. The accounts also show the rise in income as bookings increased with Covid restrictions easing. Prior to the Census in January the Executive Committee decided to continue with the freeze on the District levy as a way to financially support our Groups and Units. It was however decided to reinstate the International Fund levy as the next World Jamboree will be taking place in 2023.
Since the easing of restrictions, the enquiries and bookings for our site have seen a continous increase. 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 continued.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lynn Webster for taking on the role of Bookings Secretary and thanks also to John Swarbrick for continuing to support Lynn with queries along with running the tuck shop with his wife Sue. My thanks also to the team of volunteer wardens who meet and greet our visitors.
In addition to our fixed costs, we had a significant outlay with the installation of a new ventilation system in the kitchen of our main building. However, we were fortunate to have received a grant towards the cost from the George’s Garage Charitable Trust. This grant along with a bequest from Tom Westall our late District President enable the total cost to be met. In addition, we were fortunate to have new kitchen cupboards supplied to us free of charge from Maelstrom Kitchens. Fortunately, the ventilation system and cupboards were installed in time for our residential bookings resuming in the summer of 2021.
The Census taken in January this year shows an increase in membership from the previous year. This indicates that as Covid-19 restrictions have eased the eagerness of young people to enjoy what Scouting has to offer. I am confident that the return to “normality” of face-to-face Scouting will restore our level of membership to pre pandemic numbers. There is clear evidence of this with the increased number of “want to join” enquiries. Thankfully the numbers of bookings for our Activity Centre have increased so we will once again be occupied regularly with young people enjoying the facilities.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish Cath Lee, the District Team along with the leaders in all sections every success over the next twelve months. Despite the challenges ahead the District Executive will continue to ensure the required support and governance.

Another year has passed, and we are still feeling the effects of the pandemic, however we have also seen the amazing effect Scouting has. We have provided opportunities to both our Young People and adults to meet together, in a safe environment albeit sometimes having to be outside, which has been needed by all.
We have been helping each other to cope with the changes the pandemic has brought, and we are bouncing back with strength and enthusiasm through times which are still proving to be difficult and we are reaching more young people following a dip during the past couple of years.
We’ve seen our District Section events and activities restarting and I’m pleased to say that top awards have been presented and nights away have been taking place in all our Sections, something that has been greatly missed.
I can only say a huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who, whilst dealing with their own difficulties and concerns over the past year, have continued to provide amazing opportunities, activities, and support to our young people, and to keep our Groups and District running smoothly – you are all truly amazing.
The forthcoming year is going to be a busy one – both in delivering our day-to-day activities, developing the District, and starting the transformation journey with our County and Headquarters. We’ve got international trips and camps to look forward to and our passion for Scouting will continue to shine through. I’m so proud of everything we have achieved over the past year and I am looking forward to continuing to work with you all over the next 12 months
**Cath Lee District Commissioner**
Another year that saw the planned Beaver programme disrupted by COVID and regulations. A lot of District events had to be cancelled due to number restrictions but at last a light at the end of the tunnel we were able to get back to running events etc.
Our first event back was Christmas sleepover at DHQ well attended both nights and was nice to see a lot of smiley faces all keen to get back to events not just the beavers but leaders too Santa crept in the night and filled bags with toys and chocolate for the beavers. We also had a visit from Michelle Durney, our new ACC Beavers [ I think she only came for Christmas dinner ] All the Beavers went home happy.
Our next sleepover was our Irish/Easter sleepover again well attended. Craft following the theme and all Beavers leaving with a easter egg.
Although district events were affected through COVID colony meetings where still held on zoom or small numbers even some colonies getting in their own sleepovers and a lot of badgework was still done. We had 63 Beavers getting the top award; Chief Scout Bronze Award. We now look forward to a better year in Beavers.
## **John Perkin**
**Assistant District Commissioner (Beavers)**
Cubs has bounced back into normal life successfully. As a district, focus has been given to support individual packs where needed rather then lots of big event. Every cub has had the opportunity to attend camps, for many of them these were the first time away from home. These camps have been at a group level, with many also joining up with other groups.
As a district, groups without their own permit all went away together. With leaders well on their way to being able to gain their own permits. 1st Clifton represented the district at county camp, and for the 1st time in 4 years we sent 30 cubs to Red Rose with their leaders.
Chief Scout Silver awards has been plentiful this year from the majority of groups. Even some being presented in unusual places, like the beach.
Moving forward the cub section is strong with this year laying good foundations. Cubs have a varied and strong future ahead of them.
## **Sarah Webster**
**Assistant District Commissioner (Cubs)**
Like all the other Scout sections, most of the Scout groups did not get back to some normality until the autumn term of 2021. It was good to hear that some groups managed to meet on Zoom on occasions to overcome the problems of face to face weekly nights and to keep in touch. Indeed in April 2021 our DC organised a virtual St Georges Day celebration. So in September Scouts thankfully, restarted in earnest, with all so pleased to see each other again at their respective venues around Fylde District. Leaders and parents were still mindful of the pandemic and took care to keep it a bay and make sure everyone was safe.
There was a surge in new Scout numbers, which was really encouraging – a wish to get back to socialising and a wish to make new friends too, after the long period of isolation thrust upon them. So Scouts are back to being involved in troop programmes and working towards their badges and challenges.
Crew Challenge at Beacon Fell came back in the autumn with a brilliant attendance with entries from 1st Lytham St Annes, 1st Clifton, 1st Kirkham & Wesham, 7th Lytham St Annes, 8th Lytham St Annes and 1st Warton. Well done everyone but especially 1st Kirkham & Wesham, who got 6th and 7th places in the competition.
In March, District held a Younger Scouts Skills Weekend at the Lonsdale District site of Silverhelm near Silverdale. It was so popular that all the rooms were occupied by the Scouts and most of the leaders had to camp out. Skills included were fire lighting, axe and saw, compass work, resin art, Paracord bracelets, and photography. Saturday night was film night and Sunday was the ever popular trading post activity. Thanks to all the leaders who offered their time to help out with the weekend, with good preparation for the activities and also organising some entertaining games. Special thanks to Jeanette Crosland who cooked the food for the camp aided by myself. Once again very little food was left by Sunday afternoon!
I want to add special thanks to Becky Rourke the GSL at 17th Lytham St Annes who has been holding together both the cub scouts and scouts there as well as her GSL duties to ensure 17th Lytham St Annes carries on. Pleased to see the scout section thriving through Phil Cotterill too now and potentially another new leader.
The annual county weekend Bowlander event, co-ordinated through Andy Crozier for Fylde, had only one team this time round from 8th Lytham St Annes. They succeeded on the 18 mile course unassisted. They came in the top half in the final results and had a really fun time. Hopefully more interest next year for this very popular event across West Lancs.
And as we close the report for this year we look forward to the return of other regular Scouting events such as St George’s Day celebration at DHQ and the Red Rose Camp, preparation and planning for which began in January 2022 with 18 scouts already booked to go.
I am sure my fellow DSL Bob Leaman joins me here to say thanks to all the leaders for their patience and also their innovations to get through the pandemic and still come back with the same enthusiasm and commitment to our scouts in Fylde District. Great to see more Scouts with us too!
**Stephen Crosland & Bob Leaman District Leaders (Scouts)**
It seems a long time ago now but we started the year still with Covid restrictions. This led to County Camp, a highlight of the explorer calendar, taking the form of various activity days across the North West rather than the traditional Camp. Still a great time was had by all. Christmas saw the usual foray of meals and trips out for the units. With the new year bringing back the challenge trophy after a small hiatus, this was competed for by all Explorers in the District at the big challenge quiz of the year.
The spring saw us get back out under canvas with various 2023 trips having selection weekends. With young people heading to South Korea for the jamboree, Yachting in Europe and the Balkans for their explorer belt expedition (best get the kettle on, next year will be a big report). Our young people have been putting back into the site with completing the 1st of hopefully many working weekends at DHQ. They’ve also been getting up mountains on walking days in the lakes kindly run by Dave Parker.
Trogz ESU were fortunate to receive some funding that allowed them to purchase new camping and expedition equipment, allowing them to offer more great experiences to their Explorers. In the summer we saw young people and leaders travel to Africa on a community project, Switzerland for a international jamboree and of course we had a number from Fylde attend West Lancs own international Red Rose. All returned with some fantastic stories to tell and memories that will stay with them forever. So as you can see a busy year for the explorer section, as well as the above a lot of our explorer scouts are also young leaders with the younger sections (Which they also have to do separate training for), they are also preparing for GCSE and A level exams, along with part time jobs and the other pressures that comes with being a young adult. To do and achieve so much they really are a phenomenal group of people.
This leads me on to the Explorer leaders/supporters, who give up so much time to help guide our Explorers through all of this, you are a great bunch, thank you for all that you do!
**Rob Webster District Explorer Scout Commissioner**
Another year has passed, and although its had its ups and downs, I would say Network has gained a very good basis to grow, following on from the pandemic. The main events with gathering and reconnected were well attended, with good numbers from a county level as well. Its been the year of top award with Explorer Belts (finally) being awarded, Scouts of The World awards and some Queen Scout Awards
I am extremely proud of the regular weekly members that meet, they are everything I know Network to be, I've been rather busy this year and I have to give special thanks to Alex Clayton and Richard Spurway for taking on most of the organising and running of events, rebranding Network for the future and keeping meetings going.
## **James Bass**
**District Scout Network Commissioner**
This past year has been one of dodging lockdowns while attempting to return to a more normal Scout life.
We did hold various meetings to try to plan the way forward but finally concluded that with very few activities happening and therefore few if any requests for our help there was no point in restarting monthly meetings at present, while the Tuesday Gang were also not able to restart due to restrictions.
Our only actual activity during the period of the report was holding a very successful annual dinner at the newly refurbished Black Vallais restaurant which we managed to achieve between lockdowns.
As always many of our members continue to carry out various other jobs around the District from being leaders or helpers in the groups to running the tuckshop, being the ‘Tuesday Gang’ doing maintenance at the activity centre, being wardens at DHQ and being district leaders or executive committee members.
**Chris Campbell Scout Active Support Unit Co-ordinator**
The period of this report was clearly still not normal in terms of Nights Away for the District, there has been an understandable reluctance to organise Nights Away for our young people, but we are slowly getting back to where we were in 2019.
To offer the young people the adventure and skills for life they expect from Scouting it is important we give them nights away experiences and this requires leaders to have a Nights Away Permit.
We have a great variation in the number of permits within Groups, the highest is eight and unfortunately the lowest is zero, the reasons are various such as leaders leaving for a variety of reasons and new volunteers just starting on their scouting journey. The County has an aspiration that we should have two permits per section in each Group which is quite a challenge however one permit per section should be achievable.
I have recommended the renewal of three permits in the period of the report and am pleased to say we have more renewals in the pipeline and some new permits.
If you do not have a Nights Away Permit, please consider it, it is not difficult to obtain, and you are never alone planning and running a residential experience.
If you would like to discuss the Nights Away Permit Scheme or would like support to gain a permit, please contact me so that we can give our young people the best scouting experience.
## **Duncan Cairns**
**District Nights Away Advisor**
The 2021 / 2022 season has been busy for the activities team as Scouting emerges from lockdown and returns to normality. Many Groups from the District and beyond have used the climbing and archery facilities at DHQ and funding from the District Executive and from external donations has allowed us to refresh our equipment in time for this surge.
In addition to the onsite activities, District instructors and equipment have supported climbing and archery at County events such as Snow and Ice, Red Rose 2022 and the preparation and delivery of the County climbing trip to the Isle of Portland. Explorer Scouts from Tarka and Trogz ESU have also ventured beyond the District to experience climbing in the quarries to the east of Preston and to climb the Langdale Pikes on a very wet Sunday in June.
Sailing, canoeing and other watersports sessions have been run by several Groups at Fairhaven, on the Lancaster Canal and in the Lake District. For instance 1st LSA ran a paddle sports course at Fairhaven over the summer, whilst 1st Kirkham and Wesham Scouts ran their summer sailing course on the lake.
Shooting continues to be a popular activity and Pam Tyler has kindly agreed too take on the role of Shooting-lead from Brez as Brez focuses on his role in the Trogz leadership team. The shooting range has not weathered lock down particularly well with a number of additional leaks in the roof meaning it requires significant work before it is again a comfortable place to shoot.
Looking forward, the activities team are aiming to provide more hiking days in the Lakes, further outdoor climbing days and another climbing permit course for Explorers, Network and Leaders. Please contact Dave Parker for details.
Also please get in touch if you are interested in gaining a permit for any adventurous activities, or if you have suggestions for activities that District could run.
