Treasurer

1st Cambridge (Orchard Park) Scouts are seeking a Treasurer to join their Trustee Board. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in the role, please get in touch.

What does a Trustee do?



Every Scout Group is supported by a team of Trustees who make sure the group is well-managed, financially secure, and delivering the best possible Scouting experience for young people. Trustees don’t run activities directly with the young people (unless they’d like to!) - instead, they support the leaders behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.

What does the Treasurer do?

The Treasurer takes the lead in managing the group’s finances - keeping track of income and expenditure, preparing simple accounts, and ensuring the group remains financially healthy. You don’t need to be a professional accountant, if you’re comfortable with numbers and spreadsheets, you’ll be a great fit.

Why get involved?

Becoming a Trustee is a fantastic way to support local Scouting. You’ll be part of the wider Cambridgeshire Scouting family, helping to provide young people with skills for life, while also gaining new skills yourself. Not everyone needs to put on a neckerchief or camp in the rain. Scouting relies on many different roles in the background to keep things running - from managing finances to helping with admin or supporting events. There are plenty of ways to contribute that can be flexible to your time, skills, and interests.
