Trustees – Thorpe Acre Scout Group

Every Scout Group requires trustees, which form the Group’s Trustee Board.
This board watches over the admin of the Group. As well as a Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, each welcomes people with specific skills.

As a trustee, you will be responsible, supportive and have the Scout Groups best interest at heart at all times. In return you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping us prepare so many more children & young people for the future.

Trustees work together to make sure Groups:

💷Manage money well

📑Follow Scouts policies and relevant legislation

🏠Look after buildings, insurance and property

🚫Manage risks

🤝Work with Lead Volunteers and champion our volunteering culture

In carrying out the above, Trustees also:

• Make sure effective administration is in place to support the work of the Trustee Board.
• Make sure records of Trustee Board meetings are kept, and complete any actions that are agreed.
• Run open selection processes for appointing Trustees.
• Co-opt Trustees onto the Board if they need people with particular skills or knowledge.
• Get expert advice, if needed. This could be on health and safety, managing money, buildings, equipment, or employment.
• Network with other Scouts Trustees to share knowledge and experience.

Most Trustee Boards meet three or four times a year.
