District Trustee
You will be redirected to the Community Action Northants website to express your interest.
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. 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 4-5 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.
Give it a go! If you’re interested, but you’re not sure it’s for you, have a chat with a Scouts trustee. You could join a meeting to see what it’s all about.
There’s so many opportunities for you when you become a trustee – we’ll help you find what you enjoy doing the most.
We know you’ve got a lot on your plate, whether you’re studying, working, looking after your kids, or doing other hobbies. Being a trustee is flexible, and can easily fit around your schedule.
