Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The Group is administered in accordance with its constitution in conjunction with the POR (Policy, Organisation and Rules) of the Scout Association.

The Group Trustee Board

The Group Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together, as Trustees, to make sure the Scouts is run safely and legally. At the heart of their role is a focus on strategy, performance and assurance.

Effective Trustee support helps other volunteers run the Scout programme that gives young people skills for life.

Members of the Group Trustee Board must act collectively as Charity Trustees and in the best interest of the charity and its members.

Objectives and Activities

Purpose

The 1[st] Banchory Scout Group actively engages and supports young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

In partnership with adults, young people take part in fun indoor and outdoor activities. They learn by doing, by sharing in spiritual reflection and by taking responsibility. They make choices, undertake new and challenging activities, and they live their Scout Promise.

We’ve assessed our aims, activities and charitable objectives, which are to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full potential as individuals, as responsible citizens, and as members of their local, national and international communities. We believe that we’ve met the Charity Commission’s public benefit criteria for both the advancement of education, and the advancement of citizenship and community development.

Organisational Structure

The Group Executive meets up to 4 times a year with powers to call additional meetings as and when thought necessary. There is a subcommittee which oversees the annual Banchory Scout Group Jumble Sale. In addition, the uniformed leaders meet when it is deemed necessary for the purposes of discussing the operational requirements of the various sections which are as follows:

Beaver Section
Cub Section
Scout Section

There is also an active Explorer Section which operates on a District basis.

Group Lead Volunteer Report (continued)

This year saw the introduction of a new Digital system from Scouting UK for all adult membership records and training. To say that this has been a trial is an understatement, and we continue to grapple with how to navigate and comply with the new system’s requirements.

Both her sons moved through the sections from Beavers, to Cubs, to Scouts & to Explorers. was involved in many fundraising events as both her sons were selected to attend a World Scout Jamboree; went to Sweden and to Japan. They both also attended the Blair Athol Jamborette twice. was also part of the Banchory Group Executive Committee for many years as well as being a regular stall holder at the Banchory Jumble Sale (something which she will continue to do!). Our thanks go to for all her contributions to Banchory Scouting.

During this time was instrumental in steering the group through the COVID years, ensuring Scouting in Banchory continued, albeit appropriately socially distanced. got her first taste of International Scouting as part of the leadership team which took the 1[st] Banchory Group to Canada in 2016. Getting a taste for Scouting overseas, hen became a Deputy Unit Leader of the North East Scotland Highlands and Islands for the 25[th] World Scout Jamboree to South Korea in 2023. four sons have all been Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers in Banchory. as been awarded her wood badge and a Commissioners Commendation and Award for merit for good service. As such, as been a familiar face in Banchory Scouting and will be sorely missed.

We welcomed Eagle and his son•s well as Hedgehog and his son 10 the rolony in October whn has proved to be invaluable in delivering a robust programme. Myself, Puffin nd Panda remain on board wtth me moving into the new Leader position after Sta8'S departure. With the support of the atK)ve we can run at a full capacity of 24 Beavers and spaces are filled up immediately as they become available. Wewelcomed 7 new Beavers in Februaryalone demonstrating the demand for Scouting services in Banchory. We have a reEu13r attendance of about 22+ Beavers each week. which is wsitive to see. and we have a E(x)d mix across the 6-8 year age range giving us 3 great dynamic. Programme wise our biggest aim for our Beavers is that they achieve the Chief Bronze award during their potential two-year full term with us. We centre our activities around having fun, learning, teamwork and as much outd(K)r activity as we can {weather isn't the challenge but dark nights are!). With this we were able to award another 5 Beavers tIEir Bronze Chief Scouts award in January before they moved onto Cubs and award a furt[ 6 at this year's AGM. Sotne of the Activities and Badges undertaken this year have been a Crathes Easter Egg trail and grass sledging, Scolty Hike (we are trying to beat our record up and down each time!}, Annual Remembrance, Chinese New Year celebrations wwih lantern making and prawn cracker samplin8, constellation makin8 With 8low sticks to achieve our Space Badges, Rabble Burns night with toastin8 of the Haggis.

We had some amazing displays with 3 prize for the best presented. we had lego men. pinecones. seashells. conkers. very 8(x)d to have them keen to participate in the home activities too. The Emergency Aid badge was fantastically delivered in a fun way by the RGU trainee paramedics. and the Beavers were fully engaged for the whole session hOfullY learning and taking away some vital knowledge. We were also able to ask thetn to slightly tailor their course so that existin8 Beavers with the Level I could achieve their Level 2's. We hosted a joint MNB and TNB sleepover in Stonehaven Scout Hut which gave a welcome change of scenery and excitirlg trip for the Beavers. Thisjoint sleepover was an excellent wayto'combine forces" with the other colony and deliver a really fantastic overnight stay. We have another one planned for May this year in the same location.

The aututnn term was focused around bein8 active outside and making the most of the light nights. We held a vegetable Highland Games. an orienteering challenge in the park and went grass sledging in the grounds of Crathes Castle. There was also a creative visit to Scolty v0d5 where we were bark rubbing and sculpture building. Our day camp at Knockiehill woods was superb and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Then coming into winter, we turned our focus towards more indoor skills and knowledge. The Beavers all raised their 8ame to show us a great diversity of interests and hobbies at our badge forum. We have keen gardeners. paddlers. collectors. bcKfvk readers. animal lovers. cooks and hikers in the group. Then the Beavers worked in teams to complete some physical and mental challenges for the My Teamwork badge. and junk modelled a machine which would help make Christmas much easier for everyone. Into the new year and we focussed on a very special Scottish Thistle Award. which celebrates all things Scottish from inventors and national landmarks to the Doric and Scots language 2nd retro playground games.

Friday Cubs

Firstly, we would like to welcome

who has officially joined our team at Friday Cubs.

Currently our Pack is sitting at 25 Cub Scouts.

As usual within all the Sections, we have had a fairly busy year again engaging in a variety of activities and Cubs gaining numerous badges.

Unfortunately, we were unable to undertake any camping over the past year. This was due to the unavailability of Leaders for various unforeseen reasons. However, we are due to camp again this month which should be fun.

Friday Cubs (continued)

With the rest of the Group, Friday Cubs took part in the annual Remembrance Day Parade in Banchory. A very pleasant Cub night was had in preparation, as kindly the Parade Commander came to our meeting and instructed the Cubs in the skills of marching and drill! On the day they were near perfect!

At Christmas time we repeated our Carol Singing evening at our local Bellfield Care Home and everyone seemed to enjoy the talented Cubs singing. However, a complaint was received, 'that it wasn't long enough!' We will see if we can do better this year!

Last year our Pack undertook a very successful Sponsored Hike around Loch Muick near Ballater. We have built up a relationship with Scouting in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa and we helped raise funds to support the re-building of the Scout Camp in the centre of Durban. The site was overtaken by vandals during Covid when the municipality security was not available to protect the site. Scouting in Durban is essential in supporting young people in an incredibly disadvantaged area, facing significant challenges. Last year's fundraising efforts by our Cubs was truly incredible, the Pack raising £1,350 which was transferred to South Africa and has helped re-build the camp site used by groups from across the region. All who took part received special badges acknowledging our relationship with KZN Scouting. We are again raising funds this year.

We currently have 3 Cubs who have almost completed achieving their Chief Scouts Silver Awards.

I would like to conclude by thanking all Parents who have helped Friday Cubs throughout the past year.

Monday Scouts

We started off the 2024 – 2025 Term welcoming in new Scouts with an investiture Hike up to Toms Cairn, this was a great start to the term reminding the Scouts just how quickly the weather can change when walking on the hills around Banchory, and why the Scouts motto “Be Prepared” is so important.

In the Autumn term we had the Scouts out and about learning skills for life through Building Bivi’s in Scolty woods which then then camped under; An evening with the Banchory Tennis Club; Deposited several new Geocaches throughout Corsee woods; Took part in the Remembrance Day Parade; A night of cooking; Badge Challenge evening where Scouts presented to the rest of the Troop, work they had done outside of Scouts towards several different badges and our yearly attendance at the Banchory Christmas Panto. The Scouts also enjoyed a joint weekend camp down at Fordel Furs in October.

Through the winter term we ran our evenings in and outside of the Scout Hut getting the Scouts outside whenever possible with various activities including Teamwork challenges, such as the wall climb, Toxic Waste transport, and Alphabet search; Glow in the Dark Wide Games; Burns Night cooking; Scout Skills video night; Night Navigation; Night Hike up Hill of Fare & Penknife Skills.

We had a successful camp at the Daviot site in September. As well as practicing traditional scouting skills using patrol tents we completed a navigation event on Bennachie.

In March we participated in The Great Tommy Sleep Out. This sponsored sleepout raises funds for homeless and vulnerable veterans. The Scouts did very well, lightweight camping under tarpaulins after walking in to a remote location and raised 1,005 from 57 supporters. Congratulations to all who took part to help this very worthwhile cause.

We have had two sessions with Paramedic students from RGU. As well as covering more advanced requirements of the first aid badges it has been great to have younger people instructing the scouts, many thanks to the organisers.

Six Scouts from TNS completed the Expedition challenge this year, one of the key challenge badges for achieving the Chief Scout’s Gold award. The expedition theme was investigating the Balmoral estate, the Cairns and history of the estate and camping in Glen Gelder. We had one Scout complete the Gold award this year, congratulations to Benji Ling.

We have made steady progress in our Challenge badgework with most Scouts on track to achieve the Gold award if they complete the expedition.

Banchory Moosehunter Explorers

The Moosehunters have had an active year, and we have been at capacity in terms of numbers with up to 36 Explorers on the books!

Our programme has included a good range of activities across navigation, orienteering, indoor and outdoor cooking, pioneering, First Aid and archery. We meet every other Tuesday from 8.15 to 9.30pm typically but we often adjust the timing to suit the activity.

As in previous years we have enjoyed a weekend trip with the Ocean Youth Trust this time on the round the world 72-foot boat “Alba Explorer”. This opportunity remains open for future trips as long as we can commit to numbers.

We also ran two Duke of Edinburgh expeditions: Bronze from Glen Esk to Glentanar via Mount Keen and Silver from Invercauld to and from Bridge of Avon in two teams, each going in opposite directions. With high river levels and cold conditions, the teams did really well.

We also supported a Patrol of Explorers attending the 2024 Blair Atholl Jamborette which is a major International camp across 10 days running every other year. We will be recruiting participants for the 2026 Blair Atholl in the Autumn.

Chairperson’s Report

We continue to see the Banchory Scout Group from strength to strength, with all our sections delivering great programmes to their young people. This is in no small part down to the tireless efforts of our volunteer leader team. I’d like to thank you all for the time and effort you put in to making Scouting a great experience for our young people.

Nobody likes waiting lists, but we need them as we do not have enough leaders in the Group. Being a leader can be very rewarding as you see the young people progressing through the sections. The Scout Group has been very successful in attracting young people to Beavers and Cubs and this has meant that there is a waiting list set. We are always on the lookout for people who would like to help the Scout Group as a leader or to help as an assistant in any section. Not everyone has time to devote every week, but there may be a role for you at special events that the group may run. Please, if you are interested, get in touch with the Scout Group’s Lead Volunteer

Our finances are healthy, and this is mainly down to the Annual Jumble Sale, and I am amazed at high much this fund-raising venture takes in for group funds every year. I really want to thank all the leaders and helpers that help run the jumble sale, as this takes the pressure off the Trustee Board in how we fund the upkeep and running of the hut. This also means that all Scout activities, weekly nights, camps and special events can be subsidised and enjoyed by all the young people in the group. Finally, my thanks go to the members of the Trustee Board and especially the Group Lead Volunteer, who goes above and beyond to make sure that the Group thrives and continues here in Banchory. Thank you, Board, for all your support and time that you put in for Banchory Scouts.

Yours in Scouting,

Financial Review

The principal source of income for the charity is donations which increased 1% to £32,110.

Hall and Equipment Hire increased to £3,538 this year from £2,335 last year. However, this has come at a cost as our utility bill for electricity is significantly higher this year than last. We have taken two actions in this regard, firstly we have disconnected half of the heaters in the hall to reduce the consumption and have seen positive results from this. Secondly, we have increased the hall hire charges.

Regarding the hall, currently reviewing options for us to improve our overall energy efficiency of the hall ally change the heating system.

Total costs increased by 42% to £65,863. The main increases were:

1) Electricity costs increased by £12,340. Some of this was catch up as the utility company were slow in charging. However I expect electricity costs to be around £8,100 for the coming year.
2) Repairs increased by £3,361 to £7,032. This covered the repairs to the outside of the building, new racks for the marquees, clearing out the gutters and also multiple small repairs within the building.
3) Capitation fees increased by £7 each which resulted in a £2,343 increase.

The net proceeds for the jumble sale in April 2024 were £17,051, a fantastic total. The Jumble Sale team did a fantastic job of reducing the end of event waste costs by around £1,000. Thanks to the jumble sale team for supporting this major fundraising event. Without this event we would need to increase subscriptions by around £100 per year per child.

Overall, we had a deficit of £11,774 for the year. In the prior year our surplus was £5,213.

Our closing reserves were £31,605.

As we have highlighted the past couple of years, cost inflation has been significant. We have been able to utilise some of the reserves of the group plus increase income to keep subscriptions flat. However, with our Scout Central and District fees increase by £7 per child we unfortunately do need to pass this on. In addition we do need to put some funds back into reserves as they are at the lower end of what we would like. Therefore, the fees for the next school year will increase from £125 to £140. They will continue to be collected quarterly towards the end of each term.

Trustees’ Report (continued)

Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Observe the method and principles in the applicable Charities SORP.
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information on the congregation’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
