Chairman’s report
Welcome to the 4th Annual Report of the 1st Prague Scout Group and an especially warm welcome to those who have joined us since our last Annual Meeting.
Looking back at my report in 2017 and reading what we were hoping to achieve this year, it is good to see that we are continuing to make progress in delivering great scouting for young people here in Prague. This is in large part due to the recruiting of more adult help and I would like to congratulate Simon for leading by example and demonstrating that it is not only the Beavers, Scouts and Cubs who benefit from their involvement in scouting, but also our Leaders and it is entirely fitting that Simon should have been awarded the Silver Acorn in recognition of all he has achieved for us. So a big welcome to x, y, z and thank you for helping to make 1st Prague Scouts so successful.

I and the other members of the Executive Committee are here to help Simon with the administration of the Group and it is therefore with great pleasure that I thank our new Treasurer, Jana Englová Pavková for taking over the finances. This has enabled us to open a bank account and I know that the majority of parents are now taking advantage of being able to pay subscriptions online. But could I encourage the few who have not yet signed up to do so? This will free up even more of Simon’s time to do what he does best, organise and run fun activities for your children.
And thank you, too, to the other members of the Executive Committee, to Steve Entwistle and Michael Halpin and also our scrutineer, Helena Vodrážková, for their help and support. But my final thank you goes to you, our parents - Scouting is a team effort and we couldn’t do it without you!
