Governance support videos
Executive Committees are known as Trustee Boards. This came into effect for members in Scotland in July 2023, and all others from April 2023.'Executive Committee' and associated wording will still be visible on Compass and the website as we move to our new way of volunteering.
To learn more about what we are doing to improve how we volunteer at Scouts, visit the Volunteer Experience webpages.
We're recording a regular series of webinars and videos to support people in Executive Committee roles. You can find all the recordings here, as well bite-sized videos breaking down key concepts you'll want to feel informed and confident on.
