Annual Report of the Executive Committee 2024-25
During the session from 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2025, the Executive Committee members (Trustees) were:
- Chair; FS - Secretary; FS - Treasurer;
> — Beaver Scout Leader; Pe - Cub Scout Leader ; FS - Scout Leader & Leader -in-charge; i i ; ; Following changes to the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association. the Group Scout Council agreed, at last year’s Annual General Meeting, to adopt the Scout Association’s recommended Model Constitution for a Scout Group.
The Group Executive Committee, will, from the date of the AGM be known as the Group Trustee Board with responsibilities as detailed in the Constitution.
During the year the Group Executive continued to oversee the running of the Group. The main points to note are:
> At the end of the session Fe notified his retirement as Cub Leader. A search for new leaders was begun and a new leadership team will be in place for the start of the new session. There were no changes to leadership in the other sections.
The Executive continued their efforts to maintain our premises in good order. Dry rot was discovered at on corner of the building. It was found that this was due to “bossed” roughcast on exterior wall. Investigation found other areas of damaged roughcast and remediation work was carried out for this and the dry rot. The cost of this work was approximately £12k . As the Executive as always had a policy of maintaining good reserves, this did not adversely affect any other activities.
At the end of last session’ the Dance Class which had used the hall for many years ceased to operate resulting in a loss of income. Fortunately, the Karate group took up the Thursday evening slot, partially mitigating the loss.
During the year, it was agreed to seek grant funding for fitting solar panel with battery storage and an air-to-air heat pump system to the hall. At the time of writing, we are awaiting a final decision on its success or otherwise.

All sections ran regular and varied programmes throughout the year. In addition to weekly meetings the following events / activities are worthy of note:
Beaver Scout Colony:Many badges completed including Money Skills, Builder and Gardener (with thanks to Sir allotments for hosting us), a Christmas visit to Inflatanation, an annual hike on a sunny May Bank Holiday weekend in Linn Park and a Lego themed sleepover.
Cub Scout Pack: A visit to Laser Quest.and several meeting night visits
Scout Troop / Explorer Scouts: Canoeing / sailing course, camp at Wiston Lodge, visit to Climbing Centre, trip to Top Golf for Explorers and Bowling for Scouts, camp at Auchengillan.
The big event for the two senior sections was a camp in France the highlight of which was a canoe trip down the river Ardeche
Outside users of the hall continue to be our main source of income; in this time of pressure on everyone’s finances, we have not asked for any increase in donation from our three main users - Karate, Dance Class, and War Games Club. Sadly Cathy Dunn decided to retire at the start of the summer holidays so the Dance Class has stopped. It is thought the Karate club may take up the Thursday evening slot.
The Executive Committee continue to work to find adequate leadership for all sections.This is of paramount importance as demand for places in all sections remains high, and all sections are at or close to their maximum numbers.
Overall the Executive Committee consider the Group to be in good health and we look forward to another successful year in 2025-26
