The Exec

View all reports View manifesto

Chair

Ewan Bell

What I've done
  • Handover: Handover has gone successfully, with the new Pink team all settled into their roles!
  • Reasonable Adjustment Policy: Has been successfully written and is being voted on in Rep!
What I'm working on
  • Pink: Continue leading Pink meetings and helping the rest of the team
  • Policy: A lot of our policies are outdated and don't reflect current best practice. My aim for over summer is to update/condense these to be more manageable

Secretary

Lucy Mott

What I've done
  • Team Pink Meetings: I've been doing even more minuting and agenda-ing, trying to get them shared with you all as soon as possible after our meetings. I have also done my best to ensure our meetings are organised efficiently so that we meet roughly every 3 weeks.
  • Even more NANs and AANs: I've been responding to and tracking the immense amount of NANs and AANs that we have had recently as lots of clubs have been on Freshers Camps and doing lots of exciting activities! Hope everyone had lots of fun :-)
  • Organising Emails: I've been working with the rest of Pink to create a system that helps to ensure your emails are responded to promptly, and don't get lost in the abyss! This is currently working well and will hopefully continue to do so.
What I'm working on
  • Reps (again): I've been doing lots of prep for Autumn Reps at Holy Grail Rally, and am very excited for my second reps as Secretary!
  • Bribery: I have been working with other members of Pink to come up with ways to encourage more clubs to engage in Reps and complete their club reports. Queue Jump passes have been created to be trialled for the first time at Holy Grail and a mascot is being made by Ellie to give to the club who write the best club report!
  • Annual Report: I need to get cracking on the SSAGO Annual Report for Team Pink 2026/27, as I'm sure Spring Reps/Ball will arrive far too quickly! Ed's excellent edition last year should hopefully provide a very helpful framework.

Treasurer

Lara Hagger

What I've done
  • Development Fund: approved dev fund bids (there should be seven clubs with reports at reps) and supported clubs with these applications.
  • (how many have I approved since february - we’re gonna have 7 reports at reps)
  • Events: supported local events with finances and the use of our bank accounts, added/removed people from the SSAGO bank accounts, and am looking forward to seeing all the amazing things everyone gets up to :)
  • @ssagomoneybunny: broken into Money Bunny’s instagram account and she is ready to begin posting…
What I'm working on
  • Annual Accounts: my goal is to have the accounts from April 2024 to November 2026 done and reviewed by the end of my term as SSAGO Treasurer.
  • Documents of Advice: I am currently working on a document that can be sent to national event treasurers with the advice, ideas, and general reassurance.

Publicity

Ellie Lees

What I've done
  • Term Start:
  • It's been a slow start to my term as Publicity Officer, as I've been prioritising my university exams and assignments. However, with summer on the horizon, I've got some exciting projects in the works, and I'm looking forward to getting started on the aims I was elected on.
  • TikTok:
  • The mystery of the TikTok account continues! Despite it being a key point I was elected on, I have yet to gain access due to a mysterious phone number linked to the account. Don't be surprised if my next Reps Update includes an update on me emailing TikTok directly!
  • Recruitment:
  • With the new academic year approaching, I'm working on getting resources out to promote SSAGO to incoming freshers and help increase our membership. Don't be surprised if you see some SSAGO-related posts appearing on Facebook over the coming weeks.
  • Events and Outreach:
  • We'll also be attending the majority of the major jamborees this summer, as well as Gilwell Reunion, promoting SSAGO alongside Inspire and Network. This will be a great opportunity to introduce more young people to SSAGO and hopefully encourage them to get involved when they head off to university.
What I'm working on
  • TikTok:
  • Gain access to the SSAGO TikTok account and begin developing content to strengthen SSAGO's presence on the platform.
  • Freshers Recruitment:
  • Start advertising SSAGO to incoming freshers through social media, events, and promotional resources to help grow our membership ahead of the new academic year.
  • Rali Eryri:
  • Work alongside the rest of the Rali Committee to deliver a successful and enjoyable Rali Eryri for all attendees.
  • Badge Packs:
  • Begin work on developing badge packs in collaboration with Bee, creating resources that can be used to promote SSAGO to Ramgers and Explores as well as engage existing members

Webmaster

Abi Pain

What I've done
  • Migration: work has begun on moving the SSAGO website and digital infrastructure to new servers to give us a stable foundation to build on. The live website on the internet is currently still powered by the old servers.
  • Strategy: We've decided to work on substantially improving the existing website as opposed to building a completely new one as we believe that will be a more efficient way to improve things.
What I'm working on
  • Migration: continue to work on moving the SSAGO website to its new servers, and eventually having the live website served by the new servers.
  • Enhancement: once migration is completed, we can begin to work on upgrading and improving parts of the website!

Webmaster

Oli Bills

What I've done
  • Lick of paint: Upgraded things from technologies of 10 years ago to technologies of today. Things should be a little nicer and shinier, but also much easier for the new team to work with.
  • SSAGO Website: Upgraded to the latest versions of everything, so it's much more maintainable and generally happier!
  • SSAGO Infrastructure: Moved everything onto brand new SSAGO infrastructure that's much easier to work with and more sustainable for the future.
  • SSAGO Email: A completely new email system for handling incoming and outgoing SSAGO email, which should hopefully provide a better experience for everyone.
  • Annoying things: Fixed a few things that were annoying for clubs, members and Team Pink along the way!
  • Handover: Hopefully now finished the handover and migration with Abi and Nem and the future of SSAGO Digital!
What I'm working on
  • Retirement: A happy retirement! (But always happy to help out if anyone needs me!)
  • Scouts HQ: Moved on to the Scouts Digital team as part of the HQ team and trying to help them with their digital systems now - as well as forming a new volunteer and staff team there (Find out more at https://join.scoutslab.org.uk if you're interested!)

Events

Rose Moran

What I've done
  • - Had several meetings with space rally and helped with the final stages of their website and approving it.
  • - I have had at least 1 meeting with most events dependent on their level on need.
  • - I have worked with the treasurer to research and pick a savings account for Witan.
  • - Organised meetings with several SSAGO members to create reasonable adjustment plan and emergency medical plan so that they can feel comfortable at rallies while also support first aiders if any medical event may occur.

Charities

Ben Dickinson

What I've done
  • CIO Registration: The Charity Commission has approved SSAGO's most recent application and we now have a Charitable Incorporated Organisation set up for SSAGO to tranfer to when we're ready
  • Bank Accounts: I have been working on finding the best bank accounts for SSAGO (both current and savings accounts), and started the process of opening the first of the CIO's new bank accounts.
  • Insurance: Charlie and I have been working on renewing our Memoranda of Understanding with Scouts and Girlguiding to ensure the CIO has insurance for its members. I have also been working with Ewan and Lara to get Unity policies covering the CIO where we currently have it for the unregistered SSAGO.
  • Club Affiliation Agreement: We have started work on the first club affiliation agreement, this is taking a while as we work out the initial issues but should speed up a lot once we have some signed
What I'm working on
  • Charity Transition: We will hopefully be transferring to the CIO structure at the AGM assuming all goes well. Between now and then we need bank accounts and insurance to cover the new organisation.
  • Club Affiliation Agreements: Over the next few years we aim to have all SUs where we have a club sign a club affiliation agreement to formalise our relationship, and standardise the relationships as mucha s possible. This should make life easier for club committees too!

Liaisons

Charlie Cunnane

What I've done
  • Met with both The Scout Association and GirlGuiding to review the proposed MoUs, with minor changes requested from both before signing. Meeting with constituent teams to come to a conclusion that suits everyone.
  • Continue to manage the UKST, adding members that require it for their circumstances (i.e. local volunteering events, interactions with u18s as part of their roles etc). Notifications now coming to me only, so issues should be fixed with not being aware about compliance!
  • Continue to work with Team Pink, SAGGA, local club committees, and wider SSAGO to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and everyone is still enjoying their SSAGO/SAGGA experience!
What I'm working on
  • UKST: Continue to manage the UKST, while reviewing membership and amending roles where needed.
  • External Relationships: Continue to work towards resigned MoUs with both The Scout Association and Girlguiding, while maintaining our healthy relationship with SAGGA.
  • Local/National Volunteering events: Publish new guidance on how to properly run a local volunteering event for clubs to refer back to, with the dos/don'ts of how to do it properly! Also continue to work with TSA and GG in working with them to boost the perception and understanding of SSAGO at their national events where applicable.
