GSL
Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2009
Major activities and achievements in the year.
1ST CREIGIAU SCOUT GROUP
The Scout Association balanced programme was run in all the Sections. Emphasis was placed on adventurous outside activities with the annual Cub camp, Scout Camps, Youth Hostelling, hikes and trips, including attendance at District and Area events. Members also played their part in the local community, attending church services, delivering the local Community Council newsletter, playing a big part in the local carnival and helping with Scout Christmas post.
The Group remains strongly based with numbers slightly higher. All sections are full with waiting lists for each. There is a strong leadership team and an active Group Executive Committee. The toilets and store room projects were completed during the year with the help of a £5000 grant from Cardiff County Council. The building is now in very good order and steps have been taken to promote it as a community facility which should also improve income. A new 10 year lease has finally been concluded with Cardiff CC which will take us up to 2017. Attention is now turning to the outside area with plans to provide a camp fire area and meeting place. Also planned are events during 2010 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Group, particularly a family camp at Miskin in July.
