Additional governance issues (optional information but encouraged as best practice)

Policies and procedures adopted for:

a) the induction and training of trustees; b) trustee' consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them

The charity is managed by the District Trustee Board, the members of which are the ‘Charity Trustees’ of the Scout District which is an educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate. All the Trustees are volunteers and not renumerated except for the payment of claimed expenses.

The Board consists of Chair and Treasurer together with other representatives from the Groups and Sections that form the charity. The Board meets three times a year. There are currently 9 District Trustees, including 2 18-24 year olds. All Trustees are subject to DBS checks prior to appointment and reviewed after 5 years. Trustees are required to complete mandatory training eg Safeguarding and Safety. This is provided by the Scout Association.

This District Trustee Board exists to support the District Lead Volunteer in meeting the charity's responsibilities. We were delighted to welcome a new District Lead Volunteer in February 2025.
