Scout Trustee

As scouting nationally moves over to Trustee management of groups, to comply with our Charity Status; 2nd Broughton Scouts Group seek a further Trustee to join our current team. Trustee role is to oversee and be responsible for the effective and safe running of the group, ensuring we maintain financial stability. The role does come with some legal responsibilities, and is required on occasion to make tough decisions. However this is as a group of Trustees. You do not need to have children in any of the sections, ideally live either in village or have a link to, through friends/relatives.

We meet for a couple of hours termly, so three times a year, unless there are requirements that dictate otherwise. That said we are a solid, solvent, proactive group, with a dedicated group of section leaders who consistently deliver exciting and progressive programmes for the youngsters in their section.

Trustees would be required to be DBS checked and complete some mandatory training. Mentoring support is available as is an induction to the role.
