Generate excitement

 The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together, as charity trustees, to make sure Scouts is run safely and legally. At the heart of their role is a focus on strategy, performance and assurance. Effective Trustee Board governance helps our volunteers deliver fantastic programmes that give young people skills for life.

Trustee Boards need good administration and organisation. Trustees are collectively responsible for making sure this is in place.  

To bring Scouts in line with charity sector good practice, the Trustee role of Secretary as the administrator will cease. At the point of migration to the new system, if still in role, existing Secretaries will be recorded as Trustees and will be expected to continue with Trustee responsibilities and not focus on administration. Ahead of then, Trustee Boards should consider how they arrange their administration support.
