On the second Saturday of every even month (Feb, Apr, Jun, etc) between 10:00 to 16:00 hrs we meet at our Scout Hut to carry out Hut Maintenance Sessions when routine and planned maintenance and improvement works are undertaken. We are really happy to welcome parents who have the time and inclination to lend a hand. The jobs range from sweeping leaves and weeding through to building trade skills and not forgetting tea & coffee making. If you are able to help then please mention it to one of our Section Leaders or Gareth our GSL to check the maintenance session is going to happen.
Our Group Trustee Board meets for a couple of hours on 6 Monday evenings a year, usually on the second Monday in each odd month (Jan, Mar, May, etc) to look after the administration and governance of the Scout Group. Every year the Trustee Board organises an Annual General Meeting (AGM) on behalf of the Group Scout Council where reports, financial statements, Board elections/nominations, etc are included. All members of the Group Trustee Board are Trustees of our Charity. We are really happy to welcome parents’ representatives onto the Board and would encourage anyone who has the time and inclination to become a member of the Board.
We are also looking at developing an Operations Team to support the work of the Trustee Board and the Leadership Team to deliver their roles. The exact format and frequency of this team is yet to be properly defined and resourced.
Our Group Scout Council meets annually for an AGM which happens early in each calendar year (usually mid February) to Support the proper running of the Scout Group and Charity and is the electoral body to which the Group Trustee Board is accountable. The Group Scout Council is open to parents of all current group members and former Scouts and their parents may also be admitted.
