Executive Committees

The Executive Committee members are Charity Trustees and are totally responsible to the Group Council for the effective management of the Group.They address all aspects of good stewardship and it is a role not to be taken on lightly.

There are reasons why a person may be ineligible to hold the position of a charity trustee. The Group Chairman needs to be assured that everyone who is invited or offers to become a trustee is eligible.

They Committee is responsible for looking after the groups legal issues(Charity issues, property deeds, insurance, CRB checks,etc.); Finances (Accounts, budgeting, cash flow, investments, etc.), Records (Minutes, correspondence, accounts, etc.).

The Group Scout Leader appoints the Chairperson of the Executive (although it is a good idea to sound out other members of your leader teams as to whom you wish to appoint) and work closely with them to manage the Group's affairs.

The Executive is responsible for ensuring that the sections have the necessary equipment, resources, materials and funds to provide an exciting and vibrant programme,  This includes ensuring there are adequate numbers of adults to run the sections so Adult Recruitment & Retention is very much the Executive's responsibility.
