Trustees

For 1st Pulborough and Bury Scout Group

The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together to make sure Scouts is run safely and legally.

Together, Trustees make sure the charity is well managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR). Their support helps other volunteers run a fantastic programme that gives young people skills for life (and experiences they’ll remember forever).

Trustees work together to make sure Groups, Districts, and Counties:

Manage money well
Have a budget in place.
Follow Scouts policies and relevant legislation
Follow employment law, and act as a responsible employer in line with Scout values if staff are employed.
Create Trustees Annual Report and Statement of Accounts.
Hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Look after buildings, insurance and property
Manage risks
Help the charity to operate well, today and in the future
Work with Lead Volunteers to meet their charity aims.
Champion Our Volunteering Culture, and make sure volunteers are aware of it, reflect on it, commit to it, and apply it in their teams.

Skills

Life skills in business, risk management, finance, marketing and all things that can help our group are valued.
