Group AGM
18 September @ 20:30 – 21:30
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 18 September at 8.30pm at The Den.
The AGM is a legal requirement of our charitable status, allowing members of the Group Scout Council (that’s all adult members of the Group, parents of youth members, Sea Scout Patrol Leaders, Explorer Scouts, Explorer Young Leaders, and Guzzlers) to receive a formal reports on our activities and accounts for the past year, scrutinise the management team, and to elect or nominate members of the Group’s Trustee Board, who manage the Group and its finances, for the forthcoming year. Explorer Scouts and Sea Scout Patrol Leaders are more than welcome (encouraged even) to join as well.
The Trustee Board is an important part of the Group and is formed of Section Leaders and elected members including the Chairman, Treasurer and Parent Reps who don’t hold Scouting roles within the Group, along with specialist advisers. The board deals with the business side of 3rdCB (accounts, legal, etc), allowing the Leader Team to focus on Scouting and running activities for our youth members.
This year there are some changes to how the Trustee Board operates being implemented, as part of a review and refresh across Scouting in the UK.
The AGM will only last half an hour and so hopefully will not erode into your evening too much. We hope you can attend this event and very much look forward to seeing you on the night.
