What exactly is a Trustee?
Trustees are a team of volunteers who see the big picture, make decisions, and work together to help Scouts run smoothly.
Trustees play a key part in Scouts, and keep an eye on our vision. They make sure young people have the best experience at Scouts, and check things are being done safely and legally.
Trustees support leaders to deliver a fantastic programme, while having a laugh, making new friends, and learning new skills themselves.
What do Trustees Do?
Trustees do lots of different things. They…
- Make sure local Scout groups follow the rules
- Make sure Scouts has enough money for activities
- Complete any necessary admin
- Check that equipment and buildings are looked after
- Check we’re aligning with our Scout values
- Influence the future of Scouts
- Help Scouts run activities with young people in the safest way possible
Don’t worry, you’ll never be doing it alone. Our trustees work closely together and help each other out.
