Trustees – Ashdown District Scout Council
About this organisation
District Scout Council covering Uckfield, Buxted, Crowborough & surrounding areas. Scouting has over a hundred years history in the UK of teaching young people practical and life skills, and providing them with the confidence to tackle new challenges.
About this opportunity
Trustees are a team of volunteers who see the big picture, make decisions, and work together to help Scouts run smoothly.
Trustees play a key part in Scouts, and keep an eye on our vision. They make sure young people have the best experience at Scouts, and check things are being done safely and legally.
Trustees support leaders to deliver a fantastic programme, while having a laugh, making new friends, and learning new skills themselves.
If you’ve got any of the below qualities, we think you’ll make a brilliant trustee…
You’re interested in helping young people get skills for life
You don’t mind working with and talking to other people
You’re a bit creative, or like to find solutions to problems
You like being organised
You like hearing what other people have to say
You’d like to be more active in your local community
If you’ve helped lead a project before, this’ll really help you, but we’re not expecting you to have any prior experience.
You don’t need to have been in Scouts before, either – it’s fine if you’re completely new.
Being a trustee is flexible, and the amount of time you’ll need to give will depend on what you’re helping out with.
It’s usual for trustees to meet 6 times a year, as well as a few additional hours a month when needed. It’s a team effort, so you’ll be working with other friendly trustees to get things done.
A DBS check will be required but the cost of it will be covered.
