Every Scout Group requires trustees.
We have eleven fantastic trustees. Our board should have twelve. So we are seeking one more person to be coopted onto the board.
This committee oversees the administration of the Group. As well as a Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, each Trustee Board welcomes people with specific skills, and representatives of Squirrel, Beaver, Cub and Scout parents. Our Board meets times a year, but effective members will volunteer for tasks in between the meetings, thus ensuring the smooth running of the Scout Group and maximising its potential for a hugely positive impact on its young members.

Could you help us for a short period to get rid of some white goods that we no longer need? They need putting on Facebook or similar and supporting the buyers to collect.

We are looking for a dedicated individual to coordinate our pre-loved uniform program. Many parents donate uniforms back to the Group, and we need someone to ensure these uniforms find new homes.
Can you collect donated uniforms, organize and maintain an inventory of available uniforms, coordinate distribution to new families, and promote the program within the Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts sections?

Keeping our HQ clean and safe is a bit like painting the forth bridge. One of the biggest issues is we don’t have anyone dedicated to keeping a list of jobs that need doing and poking people until those tasks get done.
Could you project manage our HQ?
It is not about doing everything. It is about managing the tasks and getting people to do them.
