18[th] Belfast Scout Group report 22/23
This year was spent stabilising the sections and recruiting new adults to strengthen the Scouter/ leader team.
We managed to recruit and train two additional Scouters.
The sections fully engaged with the outdoor and indoor program delivery.
We attended several county events with Beavers cub and Venturer sections.
The group camped as a group in Crawfordsburn Scout centre and held a summer camp in the Isle of Man using the Venture centre in Maughold.
Formal training of the two new Scouters was undertaken and completed.
We have also added a 5[th] trustee to the trustee board.
We are also continuing in our efforts to recruit youth members and have seen a small increase in numbers.
The parents of the youth members were invited to the Agm and prize giving which also saw several Scouters thanked formally for their time and dedication to the group via the Scouting Ireland adult awards system.
Planning events were held with both youth members and adults.
We are also exploring how to implement the Doe / Gaisce award schemes within the group.
We would like to thank the staff and management of the local community centre as well as the parents of the youth members for their continued support which we value greatly.
