Description
Kelso Scout Group Secretary ... are you an organised person? Do you have good admin skills?
You will play a key role by leading the administrative agenda for the Scout Group. No previous secretarial experience is required, we just need someone who is good at note taking, keeping records, and admin support.
No previous Scouts experience, no problem! This is a non-uniformed volunteering role.
Role Description :
This is your chance to be extraordinary and help in a flexible way! Joining our committee is not as posh as it sounds but we do like to have fun.
• Minimal commitment – only a couple of hours a month
• Flexible volunteering to fit around you – your skills/interests/time
• Alongside like-minded people – we're easy to get on with
• Great fun - it sounds formal, but it isn't!
• Make a difference – get that ‘feel good factor’
The Secretary will support the Chair of the Executive Committee to ensure the smooth functioning and sound administration of the Scout Group for instance.
• Provide administrative support to the running of the Executive Committee.
• Work with the Chair of the Executive Committee to set meeting agendas and arrange meeting logistics for the Executive Committee.
• Communicating with the Executive Committee and relevant Scout Council.
• Preparing the appropriate administration for the Annual General Meeting, including collating the Annual.
• Report and Accounts for the Annual General Meeting.
• And more
Though ‘Executive’ sounds a bit formal, it is not like that at all! We are a relaxed group of like-minded individuals!
This role is ideal for those who do not necessarily wish to work directly with young people but would like to help to support and develop Scouting a couple of hours or so a month.

We will be growing, more inclusive, shaped by young people and making a bigger impact in our communities.
