chairman’s report Thirty-five years ago, as a youngish Group Scout Leader, I was walking home behind two of our youngest Scouts after spending most of the day taking part in manoeuvres on a Fishery Protection vessel in the Forth estuary. I overheard David say to John (names changed): “You know, Scouts is fantastic.” To which John replied: “I know, I’ve been to London with the Cubs.” Neither was aware I was there and I’ve no doubt they wouldn’t have said what they did if they’d thought I could hear. But it was a moment I’ve treasured and one which showed me how much our endeavours on behalf of our young people are valued. In my mind there’s no doubt that many things have changed since that time. To David and John, that day’s activity was about as exciting as it could get. To our Scouts of today the nature of excitement and challenge is quite different. This Annual Report shows just how much Scottish Scouting provides for our young people. It is with great pleasure and not a little pride that the Scottish Board presents this report for 2009/10. The opportunities for our young people have been provided by a team of some 6,000 Leaders and Commissioners whose commitment to our youth membership is, I believe, second to none. Their Scouts too will rarely say up front how much they value and appreciate what is done for them. That’s what makes it even more important that when they do speak we listen to what they say and take notice.
2
Those two Scouts provided me with a little insight into their thinking and on that occasion it was hugely rewarding for me to hear it. I can’t really say that as a Leader or Commissioner I was a good listener, perhaps because I found it hard to imagine that they would say what I wanted to hear. Many years on and after many later encounters with former members, I realise how much I missed. Introducing the Annual Report gives me an opportunity, on behalf of the Scottish Board, to thank all our volunteers for the work they do with our young people. Scottish Scouting continues to grow and offers more and more young people the chance to develop their potential to take a constructive place in society. And my Scouts? One’s dad told me recently that he’s in London, heading up a media business and he travels round the world setting up projects. The other informed me quite casually the last time we met that his business has an annual turnover in excess of six million pounds. They have clearly mastered the arts of listening and communication!

chief commissioner The chosen theme for this year’s Annual Report surely encapsulates the whole ethos of Scouting!
CHOOSE FUN CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP CHOOSE ADVENTURE I have no doubt that the 31,836 young people who are involved in our Movement in Scotland get just that. They have chosen to be part of Scouting and stay in Scouting because of these three elements but also let’s not forget because of the fundamentals and standards which Scouting instils in our young people. Young people thrive where there is discipline and standards and in Scouting they compete to be the best they can be. During 2009/10 we have again seen a rise in our membership – the highest in the UK – and a significant increase in our older age ranges which is very encouraging. However we should never be complacent as there are still parts of our communities which would benefit greatly from the existence of Scouting. This is not a new challenge but something which must constantly be prioritised as we look at new ways of recruiting leadership. Scouting in Scotland is in very good heart and it is so because of the fantastic leadership, time and commitment given by so many people across the country. I never cease to be amazed as I travel around the country at the outcomes of that commitment. Never underestimate what that leadership is doing for the youth in our communities. My sincere thanks go to everyone who shows such enthusiasm and commitment to Scouting and I truly hope that in doing so you...
HAVE FUN, SHARE FRIENDSHIP AND ENJOY THE ADVENTURE

key achievements The Scottish Council is responsible for The Scout Association’s programme, administration and training in Scotland. It strives continuously to improve services to members and to ensure that Scouting is represented, and its interests protected, at appropriate levels. During the last year we: • Grew our total membership numbers for a fourth consecutive year to 38,546, achieving an increase of 1,762 members, the highest single year increase in membership since 1957. • Recorded growth in all Regions and all youth Sections, with overall youth membership up by 1,324 to 31,836. • Increased the number of girls in Scouting by 14%. Girls accounted for 1 in 3 of all new youth members and now comprise 11.5% of total youth membership. • Expanded the number of adult volunteers by 438 to 6,710. • Engaged 2,000 members aged 14 to 25 in regular volunteer service to Scouting, with strong growth in particular in the Explorer Scout Young Leaders’ Scheme.
6
• Provided international Scouting opportunities for more young people – we enabled almost 600 members to experience international Scouting abroad through SHQ-led expeditions to Denmark and Poland; attracted over 1,700 registrations for the 2010 Blair Atholl International Patrol Jamborette and Satellite Camp; recruited 240 young people and leaders to the 6 Units that will represent Scotland at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in 2011. • Hosted the 11th European Guide and Scout Centre Managers’ Conference at the Lochgoilhead Centre, attracting delegates from 17 countries. • Launched the Cub Scout Scottish Challenge Badge to increase awareness of culture and place amongst members aged 8 to 10. • Modernised our communications, launching Pathfinder magazine and developing a social networking presence.
• Provided over £58,000 in Development Grants to 47 projects to grow local Scouting provision and expand programme opportunities. • Developed ‘Managing Together’, a joint training resource for volunteer managers in Scouting, the Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigrade and Girlguiding Scotland. • Commissioned an initial evaluation of the Regional and District structure that was launched on 1st April 2008. • Reviewed achievements against targets set in our 3-year work plan to 2010, and put in place a new work plan for 2010-2013. • Engaged with the Scottish Government and related bodies on a range of agendas, including Youth Work and Schools, Commonwealth Games Legacy, CashBack for Communities, Protection of Vulnerable Groups and Charity Regulation.
• Secured £500,000 of funding from the Scottish Government to launch the CashBack for Communities Small Grants Scheme as a pilot initiative to channel resources to local, volunteer-led youth groups, in collaboration with the Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigade, Girlguiding, Clubs for Young People and Youth Scotland.

… the purpose (of Scouting) ... is to build men and women as citizens endowed with the three H’s namely, Health, Happiness and Helpfulness. The man or woman who succeeds in developing these three attributes has secured the main steps to success this life.
Young people are clearly attracted by the fun, friendship and adventure provided through Scouting today as they Join the Adventure in ever increasing numbers. The educational validity of what we do received further endorsement from the Outdoor Learning Strategy launched by the Scottish Government as part of the Curriculum for Excellence. This highlights the opportunities provided by outdoor learning ‘for personal and learning skills development in areas such as communication, problem solving, information technology, working with others and thinking skills’ (Curriculum for Excellence through Outdoor Learning, LTS 2010). The Scottish Board set some ambitious targets for Scouting to achieve by 2010. We are pleased to highlight some of the outcomes of work designed to support local leaders in providing exciting programmes that challenge young people and ultimately to grow the Movement.
Aim 1: Grow Youth and Adult Membership Total membership increased by 1,762 in the last year to 38,546, the largest single year increase recorded since 1957. Youth membership rose by 1,324 to 31,836.
During the last year Explorer Scouts increased by 13%, whilst the Scout Network achieved a higher growth rate than anywhere else in the UK.
We are delighted to record the opening of the second hospital-based Group in Scotland. The 22nd Ayrshire Scout and Guide Group caters for young people at Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock. The growth in youth membership could not have been achieved without an increase in the number of adult volunteer members. In 2009/10 adult membership rose by 438 to 6,710, including an increase of 340 in leadership roles and almost 100 in administrative roles supporting vitally important tasks such as adult vetting and financial management.
A 12.1% growth in youth members over the last three years has significantly exceeded the Board’s target for the period to reverse a downward trend and secure 5% growth. Growth has been achieved in all five Sections, with strongest growth being in the Explorer Scout (age 14 to 17) and Scout Network (18 to 24) Sections. During the last year Explorer Scouts increased by 13%, whilst the Scout Network achieved a higher growth rate than anywhere else in the UK. A key element of the growth strategy has been recruitment of girls into Scouting. Up by 67% from our 2006 Census, 3,654 girls now comprise 11.5% of our youth membership.
9
Aim 2: Improving Communications The drive to modernise communications has continued, initially with a focus on adults, but subsequently broadening to encompass engaging youth members. The primary vehicles for internal communications on policy, programme and practice matters are e-news bulletins, linked to website content. Scouts Scotland Plus and Programme e-News are delivered directly to almost 4,700 adult members each month, achieving very high open rates and positive feedback from members. The key database is a UK-wide Membership Services System (MSS) holding contact details for all adult members. Online access enables individuals to update personal contact information and local Appointments Secretaries to update appointment history and training records. Better data reliability following these improvements enables increased use of role and location specific communication.
With up to date information flowing largely through e-news, the quarterly Scottish Scout News was replaced by a fresh twice-yearly publication. Pathfinder was launched in autumn 2009, carrying more in-depth articles to assist in developing the knowledge and skills of adult volunteers. Being more outward focused, it seeks also to interest an external audience. Within the context of a broader Youth Engagement Strategy, the Scottish Board has been considering opportunities for improved communication with youth members. Consequently, a social networking presence is being rolled out during 2010 for the Explorer Scout and Scout Network Sections.
Aim 3: Improving PR / Promotion / Image Positive national media coverage was secured through strong stories on membership growth, girls in Scouting and recruitment of teenagers. Young spokespeople have fronted media exposure, promoting Scouting’s youth-led and adventure brand. A synergy with the BBC Radio Scotland Out of Doors programme secured good coverage for Scouting in general and for adult recruitment messages in particular. Scouting has positioned itself as a critical partner with Government and others through engaging on agendas relating to child protection, Curriculum for Excellence, outdoor learning, youth work and schools, youth Awards, Commonwealth Games legacy, charity legislation, dormant bank accounts and wider funding issues.
10
Aim 4: Provide Practical Support to Local Scouting Whilst Scottish Headquarters (SHQ) has an oversight and management role for Scouting across Scotland, it also seeks to channel practical support to strengthen local provision, not least of this support being access to funding for local development. Scottish Scouting is indebted to the Gannochy Trust, which provided £60,000 for disbursement during the year in the form of Development Grants. 47 projects were supported, funding equipment and development initiatives, assisting leaders to undertake specialised adventurous activity training and supporting the employment of Local Development Officers (LDO) in Clyde and South East Regions. We are delighted to report that the Gannochy Trust has agreed to continue its support to Scouting in Scotland, committing £195,000 for Development grants over the next three years. Working in partnership with Youth Scotland, Boys and Girls Clubs Scotland, Girlguiding, Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigade Scotland and the Scottish Government, a pilot funding initiative for local volunteer-led youth groups was launched at Fordell Firs National Scout Activity Centre in March by Kenny MacAskill MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Justice. The CashBack for Communities Small Grants Scheme is a £500,000 fund exclusive to the six partner organisations. The Scheme applies the proceeds of crime to support the start-up and growth of youth work provision, chiefly for young people aged 10 to 19.
Monies secured by SHQ from the National Youth Organisations Support Fund financed a number of initiatives aimed at developing volunteer skills and capacity. These included a residential training event for District Scout Network Leaders and workshops for new and experienced Advisers supporting the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme within Scouting. The SHQ Team of Commissioners and Advisers provided role specific support to local volunteers throughout the year. In addition to SHQ Office frontline information and advice services, SHQ Programme and Development staff assisted a number of Districts and Regions with the creation and implementation of local development plans and local recruitment initiatives to help open or restart Scouting provision.
Through the SHQ Membership Subscription Abatement Scheme, support valued at over £13,000 was provided to 27 Groups operating in areas of deprivation.
11
Aim 6: Sustainability – Beyond 2007 Continued growth in membership has boosted income to support core services for members. Funding secured from the Gannochy Trust, the National Youth Organisations Support Fund and from the Scottish Executive Education Department has been highly valued and applied to good effect. The addition of CashBack for Communities funding is also hugely welcomed. The Board recognises, however, that the need to further develop services and to support volunteer leaders who have increasing demands on their time requires a broadening of income streams and funding from external sources. A key target is to realise a surplus of £100,000 per annum from the operation of activity centres and an equipment hire service. Whilst there is some way to go, the performance of these operations during the last year has been very strong, contributing almost £60,000 to our bottom line.
The three National Scout Activity Centres at Fordell Firs (Fife), Lochgoilhead (Argyll) and Meggernie (Perthshire) provide a fantastic programme resource for Scouting. The 20,000 visitors to these Centres during the year also reflect significant use by schools, colleges and other youth and community organisations. Exhibiting at the Scottish Learning Festival at the SECC has been important in promoting our Centres as key partners in delivering the Curriculum for Excellence through Outdoor Learning. The Equipment Hire Service operated by the Scottish Scout Fellowship generated revenue chiefly through marquee hires to external organisations and Scout events as far away as Gilwell Park in Essex. A small volunteer team also organised a highly successful 6th Annual Burns Supper, raising in the region of £7,000 to support development.
Aim 7: Developing People The Board has progressed a Youth Engagement Strategy designed to embed youth consultation and participation in decision-making at all levels. The international dimension of Scouting provides unique opportunities for members to expand their horizons and develop an understanding and knowledge of peoples and cultures beyond our shores. SHQ organised contingencies to Scout events in Denmark and Poland with the aim of providing opportunities for leaders with limited experience of such international events to develop their skills and thus open opportunities for more young people.
12
Future Work The Scottish Board has adopted a new 3-year Workplan for 2010 to 2013, giving particular prominence to youth engagement, development and diversity agendas. During the coming year we will receive and respond to recommendations from Youth Summit2 and strive towards full implementation of our Youth Engagement Strategy. We will receive and consider appropriate responses to findings from an initial evaluation of the Region and District structure introduced in 2008.
1,700 young people aged 14 to 17 and volunteer staff from 18 countries signed up for 32nd Blair Atholl International Patrol Jamborette and its Satellite Camp in summer 2010. Six Scottish Units have been recruited for the 2011 World Jamboree in Sweden.
Engaging with others as appropriate, we will ensure that Scouting plays as full a role as possible nationally with respect to policy, and in local communities, to provide access for more young people and adults to the fun, personal development, friendship, learning and outdoor adventures that Scouting can provide.
The Scottish Scout Malawi Appeal substantially exceeded its £6,000 target to fund development of Malawi Scouting. A party of young people and leaders has been recruited to undertake practical development projects in Malawi in 2011. We had the privilege of hosting the 11th European Joint Guide and Scout Centre Managers’ Conference at our Lochgoilhead Centre last October. Delegates from 17 Countries participated in workshops and discussions on the themes of ‘Connect, Grow, Inspire’. Working in collaboration with the Boys’ Brigade, Girls’ Brigade and Girlguiding Scotland, ‘Managing Together’, a new resource to support volunteer managers and strengthen capacity, has been produced and successfully piloted.

financial summary Despite the financial turmoil generally both at home and abroad Scottish Scouting’s finances are in good order.
During the year ended 31st March 2010 an operating surplus was generated with unrestricted funds showing net incoming resources of £78,540 which represents a small increase on the previous year’s figure of £76,432. Higher membership with a resultant increase in subscription income, higher than budget surpluses from our Activity Centres, particularly at Lochgoilhead, and continued control of headquarters staff and overhead costs have contributed to this year’s satisfactory result. Income on restricted funds amounted to £155,389 and this includes £48,802, the second instalment of grant aid from the National Voluntary Organisations Support Fund, and £60,000 from the Gannochy Trust which is applied to support development initiatives by Groups, Districts and Regions. Expenditure amounted to £150,360, including the release of £35,117 in respect of grants deferred over the life of assets acquired, leaving £5,029 to carry forward for use in future years. Last year substantial losses, both realised and unrealised, on investments were reported whereas this year, due to a considerable improvement in stock market conditions between March 2009 and March 2010, there are gains on valuation which to a large extent compensate for the previous losses. After investment gains the increase in
unrestricted funds is £181,390 compared with a decrease last year of £38,020 and restricted funds have increased by £65,433 whereas last year they decreased by £112,497. Investment and bank deposit income was however lower than the previous year mainly due to the exceptionally low interest rates available on short term deposits. Much of our income comes from grants, donations and legacies and the Board acknowledges with grateful thanks the financial assistance provided by all our supporters and sponsors.
