This role would involve a number of meetings throughout the year (some online, some in person) and some tasks in between meetings which can be done at a time to suit you.

You don't need experience of Scouting to join as a Trustee as we are looking for a wide range of skills and experiences within our team of Trustees. As part of the role we ask volunteers to undertake a DBS check (paid for by us) and we offer some simple e-learning training to help set you up for success.

Norfolk Scouts has over 7,000 young people (aged 4 up to 18) & adult volunteers all enjoying the fun & adventure of Scouting. Volunteering as a Trustee is a great way of using your experience & skills to benefit the young people of Norfolk, and it is also great for your wellbeing, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends (and memories).
