OpportunityAbout this opportunity: Week by week, Scouts volunteers empower thousands of young people aged 4 to 25 to try new things, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. You don't have to work with young people to give them skills for life.
They are looking for trustees for their Dunfermline groups. As a trustee, you will have responsibility for the running of the group, and will work as a team with other trustees to make decisions, handle group finances, resolve issues and plan ahead.
You don't need any previous experience as a trustee, and training will be given. You don't need to have been a Scout when you were younger. Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and they promise you'll get more out of it than you put in.
Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.Takes place: mornings afternoons evenings Mondays 
Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays Saturdays Sundays Training provided: Volunteers will have safety, safeguarding and GDPR training, as well as having the opportunity to engage in first aid and further ongoing learning. Support is given by the group leader and other trustees. Experience required: No previous experience is required, as long as volunteers are enthusiastic about supporting a charity that helps children and young people gain experience and confidence, and have fun. Good organisational and team work skills would be a plus. Restrictions on who can volunteer

Director, Trustee, Board/Committee member or Governor?!
Organisations have different names for the volunteers who are responsible for the running of the organisation - some are called Board members, some are Committee members, some may use the word Director for example. Broadly speaking, they mean the same thing - the people at the top who are ultimately responsible! These are important roles (for which training and support is available) and without volunteers at board level voluntary sector organisations could not exist.Help and Support
Call us to arrange an appointmentGive us a call on 0800 389 6046 to arrange an appointment to chat with our staff about what opportunities are available - at Board/Committee level as well as operational opportunities. Meetings can be arranged outside of the office in some cases.
