With their vital behind the scenes role, our Trustees are dedicated to making sure Scouts runs smoothly, safely, and legally.
We’re looking for safe pairs of hands, ‘i’ dotters and ‘t’ crossers. Sound like you? As a Trustee, you’ll be part of a dynamic team working together to make Scouts operate like a well-oiled machine. From managing money to checking meeting places are in tip-top condition, you’ll make sure everything is set up properly, so that young people have the best experience in Scouts. Trustees see the big picture, make decisions and work together. As a team, you’ll ensure that everything’s being done safely and legally, as well as connecting Scouts with your local community.
As our Treasurer, you will:
- Look after finances, such as making sure the Group is collecting all membership fees and making all payments.
- Share details about income and spend with other Trustees.
- Make sure Gift Aid is being claimed.
- Make sure proper accounts are kept and draw up policies on finance and investment.
You don’t need to have been a Trustee before, but must be eligible to be one. You will need to have the relevant skills and experiences to help us look after our finances.
