You’ll work alongside experienced volunteers to help run games, crafts, outdoor adventures and badge activities in a safe and welcoming environment.
Whether you can help every week or on a more flexible basis, we’ll support you with training and guidance as you settle into the role. If you’re looking for a rewarding way to give back to your community and help inspire the next generation, this could be the perfect place to start.
Team: Trustee Board
Ideal skills: Organised, trustworthy, comfortable with numbers, attention to detail. Previous finance or bookkeeping experience is helpful but not essential.
As Treasurer, you’ll help keep our Scout Group financially healthy by overseeing income and expenditure, maintaining accurate financial records, and preparing simple reports for the Trustee Board. You’ll work closely with the Group Lead Volunteer and fellow trustees to help set budgets, manage day-to-day finances, and ensure we’re making the most of our funds to deliver great experiences for young people.
This is a flexible, behind-the-scenes role that’s ideal for someone who enjoys being organised and wants to make a meaningful impact without working directly with young people every week. Full support will be provided, and you’ll never be expected to do it alone.
