Trustee

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).

Detailed descriptions are on the Scout website: https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/running-things-locally/local-teams/trustee-boards/ and https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/running-things-locally/trustee-boards/trustee-basics/

Online training is provided, and basic PVG disclosure checks need to be done through the Scout Association.

They attend meetings, usually monthly during term-time, which are held at the Neilston Scout Hall. There is also a WhatsApp group to arrange meetings and discuss anything more operational or time-sensitive.
