Scouting is all about giving young people skills for life – and that relies on the support of a strong and committed team of volunteers. Behind every great Scout Group is a group of Trustees who make sure everything runs smoothly. Could you be one of them?
What does a Trustee do?
Trustees form the Group Executive Committee, working together to oversee the safe and successful running of the Scout Group.
Their role is to make sure we have the resources, guidance and governance in place to support our young members and leaders. That might involve looking after finances, ensuring we meet our legal responsibilities, or helping plan for the future.
You don’t need any special experience to join – just enthusiasm, common sense, and a willingness to get involved. Training and guidance are provided, and you’ll be joining a supportive team where everyone’s contribution is valued.
Why become a Trustee?
Being a Trustee is a chance to make a real difference in your community.
By helping to guide and shape the future of the Group, you’ll be ensuring that hundreds of young people have access to fun, adventure and opportunities to learn skills that will last a lifetime.
It’s also a fantastic way to develop your own skills, meet new people and play a key part in a positive, community-driven organisation.
How much time is involved?
The commitment is flexible and designed to fit around busy lives. Trustees usually meet once every couple of months, with some additional input between meetings depending on your role and interests. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, your support will be hugely valued.
Scout Trustees Aged 18-24
Borough Green Scout Group is always keen to welcome trustees aged 18 to 24 onto its Executive Committee.
Young trustees bring fresh perspectives, new ideas and a strong understanding of what today’s young people value. Taking on this role is an excellent way to develop leadership, teamwork and decision-making skills, while contributing directly to the future of Scouting in the local community.
It’s also a chance to gain valuable experience that looks great on a CV, showing responsibility, governance awareness and commitment to volunteering – all while helping to ensure that the next generation of Scouts continues to thrive.
