Trustees

What difference will you make?

Trustees support our volunteer leaders to deliver a fantastic programme, while having a laugh, making new friends, and learning new skills themselves.

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.

About our Trustee Board
