The Board of Trustees plays a vital role in the running of a Scout Group, making decisions and carrying out administrative tasks to ensure that the best quality Scouting can be delivered to young people in the Group.
The Board of Trustees exists to support the Group Lead Volunteer and our Group Chairperson in meeting the responsibilities of their appointments. The Board act collectively as charity trustees of the Scout Group, and in the best interests of its members.
The Trustee Board is made up of the:-
- Group Lead Volunteer,
- Group Chairman,
- Group Treasurer; and
- Trustees.
Elected trustees stand for election at the Annual General Meeting and are elected by the Group Scout Council to take on the roles of Trustees.
Nominated trustees are nominated by the Group Scout Leader in partnership with the Group Chair and approved at the Annual General Meeting.
Co-opted trustees are additional Trustees who can be appointed to take on a role by the Board of Trustees due to specific skills or knowledge useful to the committee at times other than at the Annual General Meeting.
