The 22nd Burton Upon Trent (St. Mark’s) Scout Group is looking for enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join our Trustee Board. Help shape the future of Scouting in our community by supporting our team and young people in developing #SkillsForLife.
What Does a Trustee Do?
As a Trustee, you’ll:
- Ensure the Scout Group operates safely, legally, and efficiently.
- Help manage finances, including budgets, fundraising, and ensuring financial sustainability.
- Oversee property, equipment, and risk management.
- Help develop strategies to achieve our charity’s goals and support Scouting programmes.
- Champion equality, diversity, and inclusion across all our activities.
What We’re Looking For:
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences. No Scouting knowledge is required – just a willingness to learn and contribute. Specific skills in finance, property management, or charity law are a bonus but not essential.
Why Join Us?
- Impact: Play a vital role in supporting a growing group of young people.
- Community: Join a friendly team and connect with like-minded volunteers.
- Development: Gain valuable experience in governance, strategy, and teamwork.
Time Commitment:
The role is flexible to fit your schedule, with regular meetings (typically every other month) and occasional additional tasks or events.
Support Provided:
All Trustees receive full induction and training, access to online resources, and support from local and national Scouting networks.
