Join a Scout Group as a Trustee and Make a Real Difference

Are you passionate about helping young people thrive?

Do you want to use your skills to support a vibrant, community-focused organisation?

We’re looking for enthusiastic and committed individuals to join our Scout Groups as Trustees.

What We Do

Scouting empowers young people with skills for life through fun, adventure, and friendship. Our groups provide weekly activities, camps, and challenges that help children and teens grow in confidence, resilience, and leadership.

What Trustees Do

As a Trustee, you’ll help oversee the management of the Scout group, ensuring it runs safely, legally, and sustainably. You’ll work with other volunteers to:

• Help shape the future of scouting
• Support the safe and effective running of a group
• Shape the group’s long-term strategy
• Oversee finances, policies and governance
• Work with a friendly and committed team of volunteers

Who We're Looking For

You don’t need to have been a Scout – just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to help. We welcome people from all backgrounds, and we’re especially keen to hear from those with experience in:

• Finance or fundraising
• Property or facilities management
• Marketing or communications
• Governance or charity work

Time Commitment

Trustees typically attend 6 - 8 meetings per year and support occasional events or projects. It’s a flexible role that fits around your life.

Interested?

We'd love to chat with you if you are interested or would just like to know a few more details.
