Trustee positions

1st Westhill Scout Group
VO105816

Section Teams
• Squirrell! Yes there’s probably some in the trees here, but none in Westhill yet. Want to help start up a section for some amazing 4-6 year olds?
• Beavers. Those 6-8 year olds have leaders; those leaders need some assistants.
• Cubs. Cubs are like beavers, but a different animal. They’re a bit bigger and a bit noisier. We could really use a few assistants to keep them from climbing too high up trees.
• Scouts. Once they get to 10 ½ they’re no longer animals. They get even more adventurous and full of fun.
Group Support Roles
• Quartermaster – someone to organise all our equipment and keep it ship-shape
• Fundraising – are you good at extracting money from people? Come do it for us!
• Hall Maintenance – can you fix things / build things / paint? Maybe you have a really useful trade? AI can’t look after our hall yet.
• Events Helpers - can you occasionally help run a fundraising stall or help out at event? We have plenty of very helpful jobs you can do.
Behind the scenes administration
• Trustees -
• Young Trustee – aged 18-24? Come get some great experience in running a charity
• IT Manager – our computers don’t look after themselves yet, but maybe you can
• Data Lead – do you know your ABCs from your GDPR?
• Grants Team – help us get big piles of money to make the Scout Hut even better
• Section Bookkeepers – where have all those 1p’s gone? Maybe you can find them
• Volunteer Recruitment – can you do better than this advert? Come show us!
• Volunteer Coordination – once they’re recruited, we need to look after them.
• Admin Team Lead – all these admin people need to be coordinated”
Trustee Chair -
To help lead and support our volunteer team. This role involves chairing our committee, supporting our Group Lead Volunteer, and helping ensure the smooth running and future development of the group.
Think of this as the “chief organiser and friendly wrangler of adults.” You’ll keep meetings on track, help steer the group in the right direction, and make sure all the important behind-the-scenes stuff actually happens. Less campfire smoke, more gentle nudging and big-picture thinking.
You’ll work with a friendly team to oversee governance, finances, and planning—making a real difference to young people in our community.
Treasurer / Assistant Treasurer –
To support the financial management of our friendly and active group. If you like numbers, spreadsheets, or just knowing where the money’s gone (and where it should go), this could be for you.
You’ll keep our finances in order and make sure everything adds up—no buried treasure, sadly, but plenty of satisfaction.
Assistant role perfect if you want to learn the ropes without diving in headfirst.
If any of these roles sound like your kind of adventure—big or small—get in touch! We promise a friendly welcome. Have a look at the link above to our webpage to find out more about us.

Experience required

Honestly—very little! Most of our roles don’t need any previous Scouting experience. If you can organise yourself, work as part of a team, or just turn up with a positive attitude, you’ll fit right in.
