Our Group

There are two sides to Broadstone Scout Group: Face-to-face scouting with our young people and the work that goes on behind the scenes. Broadstone Scout Group has recently restructured in line with the Scouts’ Transformation Strategy.

Face-to-face Scouting

There are different sections in scouting:

• Beavers for children 6-8 years old
• Cubs for children 8-10.5 years old
• Scouts for children 10.5-14 years old
• Explorers for young people aged 14-18
• There is also District-led provision for Network Scouting for Young Adults aged 18-25.

For more information about each section, follow the specific links in the menus.

Each section is made up of a team of volunteers. We call volunteers Team Members. Each section has a Team Leader who acts as a point of contact. Due to the size of our Group, we also have Assistant Group Lead Volunteers that support the Group lead Volunteer.

The Trustee Board

The Trustee Board oversees governance and works in accordance with Scouting Regulation and the Charities Act.  Trustee Board meetings occur once every three months.

The Trustee Board is responsible for:

• Administration and disbursement of the Groups Finances
• Insurance of persons, property and equipment
• Legal and administrative policies and their implementation, including Charity governance and data protection legislation
• Annual General Meetings

The Operations Group

Separate to the trustees, we have the Operations Group. The Operations Group looks at:

• Recruitment
• Projects
• Equipment
• Maintenance
• Membership
• Fundraising
• Lettings

We are always on the lookout for more volunteers. Whether you enjoy working with young people, or you have administrative skills, please get in touch!

Our group structure…

We have an Annual General Meeting soon after our fiscal year end at which the Group presents its accounts to the membership.  All members of the Group and parents are encouraged to attend this event.

If anyone would like more information or would be interested in joining the leadership or boards or you wish to help out with the sub-committees please feel free to speak to your leader or contact the Group Chairperson for more information.
