5. Group Executive Committee Report
i. Group Scout Leaders Report
Peter Ager suggested visiting the excellent displays from each
section presented in 'The Den'. They covered the whole group and
gave a good indication on how we were progressing. As ever the leadership
situation is still the biggest problem, with the Scout Troop still
in great difficulty. The bottom line was we need more support. We
had done well in District competitions winning both the District
Swimming Gala and the District Scout Marathon.
ii. Group Chairman's Report
Gordon Reed stated that without our good and committed leaders
we would not be able to achieve such positive results.
iii. Group Treasurer's Report
Bob Humphries reported that the account for 2001-2002 were available
if people wished to view them. Overall we made a £1200 loss
(this included the 75 anniversary camp costs), but the previous
year we had made a similar gain therefore over the whole period
we have been stable. Bob expressed his thanks to Mike Robinson for
arranging the Gift Aid scheme and we have now received our first
payment. The Gift Aid scheme was briefly explained by Gordon. There
were to be no changes to the subscription fees this year.
