Group Trustee

Help shape amazing adventures for young people — in a way that fits around your life

Our Scout Group is looking for a few supportive adults to join our Group Trustee Board. You don’t need to wear a uniform, know how to tie knots or have any prior Scouting experience — just a willingness to help make sure our group runs safely and successfully.

👇 What does a Group Trustee do?

Trustees work as a small team behind the scenes to make sure the Group:

• Is safe and well-run

• Uses its money responsibly

• Looks after buildings, equipment and resources

• Supports the volunteer leaders who run section meetings

Think of it as helping to run a small community organisation — but with plenty of support, training and guidance available.

😊 Who can get involved?

Parents, carers and other supportive adults are all welcome. You don’t need any specialist skills — just everyday common sense and a willingness to help. If you do bring experience in things like finance, admin, communications or people-management, that’s a bonus, but absolutely not essential.

🕒 How much time does it take?

Not much!
Trustees usually meet a few times per year and keep in touch by email or message in between. The role is designed to fit around busy family life.

💬 Why join?

• You’ll make a real difference in helping young people thrive

• You’ll support the leaders and the brilliant activities they deliver

• You’ll gain valuable experience and knowledge

• You’ll be part of a friendly team making positive change locally
