Trustee Chairperson for 24th Basingstoke Scouts Group

24th Basingstoke Scouts Group are looking for a Chairperson to join their Trustee team.

We’re looking for safe pairs of hands, ‘i’ dotters and ‘t’ crossers. Sound like you? As a Trustee, you’ll be part of a dynamic team working together to make Scouts operate like a well-oiled machine. From managing money to checking meeting places are in tip-top condition, you’ll make sure everything is set up properly, so that young people have the best experience in Scouts. Trustees see the big picture, make decisions and work together. As a team, you’ll ensure that everything’s being done safely and legally, as well as connecting Scouts with your local community. Oh, and it’s fine if you’ve not been a Trustee before. We’ll support you, making sure you learn everything you need to know, as you go.

The Chair will;

• Lead the Trustee Board.

• Plan when Trustee Board meetings should take place, and decide what to talk about at each meeting.

• Lead Trustee Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

• Liaise with Lead Volunteers.

• Lead recruitment for new Trustees.

• Support other Trustees by organising inductions, making reasonable adjustments (where needed), checking in to see how they’re getting on, and carrying out annual reviews.

This is a behind the scenes role so most of the support can be carried out from the comfort of your own home! There will be quarterly meetings and an AGM to attend but generally this is flexible volunteering role for someone who wants to support the young people in their community. For more details please get in touch.
