We will be holding our annual AGM on the Thursday 24th of July, and this will be in place of the final scheduled sectional evening. The Trustee Board will present their summary of the year, and we will also be handing out our end of year awards.

All young people and parent/carers are members of the Group Scout Council so we urge everyone to attend as this is your Scout Group and you can shape it. Please note this is not a drop and leave session There will also be opportunities for you to meet with all the leaders and talk to them, or if you feel like joining us you could talk to someone about volunteering.

Some great figures just come through from the census, a massive increase in membership across the group and this does not include CARGO, our affliliated ESU, who themselves have increased by 75%
 
This is all down to the hardwork of every one of our team here at 10th Mansfield, from the section leaders and assistants, to the backroom staff who you may not see, to the occasional volunteers, none of whom get paid but give up their time voluntarily. They have put some brilliant programmes in place matched by commitments from the Trustees to provide funding.
 
If you would like to join this team and get involved message me or grab me for a chat, we can only continue to grow with adult support in various roles.
 
Lastly a big thank you to you parents/carers for supporting your child, for bringing them along every week and encouraging.
 
If you know a girl who would like to join Scouts, but think's its just for boys, then get in touch with us. Scouts is the largest mixed gender youth organisation in the UK. Here at 10th Mansfield we are committed to providing opportunities for all.

Incredibly proud moment today for our group. Nottinghamshire Scouts awarded their annual Oak Awards, and 10th Mansfield Scout Group received the group award for Mansfield District, nominated by our District Lead Volunteer Pete Hawley.
This award is recognition for the incredible work put in by our volunteers, be that our leaders delivering scouting every week, our amazing trustee board, our parents and of course our young members. It also is recognition of the renewed sense of community we have with local area.
Last year we set out our 5 year development plan, and this award is testament to the hard work everyone has contributed. We are way ahead of our initial timescales in nearly all areas, but we won't just sit back, we will keep growing and developing as a group.
Thank you to everyone.
