2025 Annual Report

We have had another successful year as a company. We continue to
grow our numbers across all sections with membership around 47
young people.
All sections have been enjoying their weekly meetings working
towards their badges which they will be award at our awards evening
in May.
As usual we have entered lots of competitions this year and have
had our most successful year for some time.
The Anchor section took part in a new battalion photograph
competition and won. The Junior section came 1st at the battalion
bowling and swimming gala. They have also taken part in the
battalion chess competition and the junior district sports.
The company and seniors took part in the national bowling
competition back in October and for the 1st time in around 20 years
we won the whole competition. They also won the battalion bowling
and came joint 1st at the swimming gala. At the district sports they
won the frisbee, uni hoc and under 13's football. I am very proud of
the success we have had at competitions this year. I am not just
proud of the success but the children always compete with good
sportsmanship and are always a credit to the company.
As we approach the end of the session planning is under way for our
awards evening and summer programme. After the summer
programme the company and senior sections are off on their annual
week camp this year they are off to the Dartmoor activity centre. This
is always the highlight of the year for those two sections and lots of
planning is going on to make it a fun and enjoyable week.
The company would not have the numbers it does or the success if it
wasn't for the 14 officers and helpers that continue to give their time
at the weekly meetings, competitions, events and planning time at
home.
I'd also like to thank the parents and friends association and the
church for the support and fundraising. Without the fundraising we
would not be able to run the fun programme that we do.
Finally we have our annual awards evening on Friday 23rd May
starting at 19.00 in the church hall. All are welcome to help us
celebrate the achievements of the young people.
