Governance
Our County Board of Trustees is an important part of the day-to-day running of our county and exists to support the Lead Volunteer for South & South East London Scouts in meeting the responsibilities of the appointment and to provide support for our county team and districts. The board meets bi-monthly and is committed to being a exemplar of good practice in governance.
All members of the County Board of Trustees are charity trustees of the county; this is important, and all board members must be aware of their responsibilities. When a person is elected onto the board they are there to represent the county and in turn are there to participate in decision making from a county point of view. Our trustees are responsible for carrying out their role with due regard to the purpose of scouting and acting as a responsible person.
The County Board of Trustees is specifically responsible to the County Scout Council and has a focus on supporting:
- our county strategy and development plan
- key policy decisions
- County finances
- additional insurances
- strategic management of our premises and camping ground
- supporting administration at all levels
- annual census of membership and collection of membership fees
- complying with legislation applicable to English charities
- The provision and management of professional staff
- the raising of additional funds
Our new board members will be published here shortly after our AGM on 13th July 2024
