Our trustees help behind-the-scenes doing various jobs, like admin, organising, and helping to improve Scouts for all.
You won’t need to come to Scouts every week, run a session, or give up all your free time. If you’re not keen on working directly with young people, that’s OK too. Trustees do lots of things out of the spotlight, and there’s lots you can do from home.
In terms of effort, the Group Executive Committee have approximately 3 to max 6 meetings per year which lasted between 1-2 hours; however in the GEC a lot of operational points would be discussed which will not be part of the Trustee Board.
The Trustee Board will have the role to oversee the group from a governance perspective. The following tasks are done by the Trustee Board:
