Trustees

The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together to make sure Scouts is run safely and legally and basically help our Scouting volunteers deliver fantastic programmes that give young people skills for life. 
The Trustee Board meets roughly monthly, with a few additional hours needed each week to do allocated tasks. The more volunteers we have, the less work there is for everyone to do.
 
Trustee roles currently available:
  • Assistant Treasurer
  • Trustee

Becoming a trustee is open to (almost) everyone, find out more about becoming a trustee.
