Our current District Treasurer wishes to step down so we need a numerically literate individual to ‘understudy’ the role, with a view to taking over at the AGM.
Our Treasurer is vital to the effective functioning of the District, processing numerous payments, receipts and expenses claims every week. It is a busy role. Our Treasurer provides updated financial reports at Trustee Board meetings (six times per year) and is instrumental in setting the budget (and therefore Subs) for the coming year. They will also be required to submit annual accounts for independent examining, for our AGM and Charity Commission return.
The individual will need to be trustworthy, as they will become a signatory on our bank accounts in due course, and will need to be comfortable getting to grips with online banking, spreadsheet software and the financial side of OSM.
Please drop our District Chair a line for an informal chat about the role if you might be interested.
The Events Coordinator is a key role which is to help manage and support the Scout District to ensure it runs effectively and that Scouting within the District develops in accordance with the rules and policies of The Scout Association.
The main task of this role is to head up the organisation and delivery of our St Georges celebrations, Mayor’s Picnic and Romsey Show stands, as well as other district lead events. Please note this role does not require a ‘qualified’ leader as it is fundamentally a coordination role.
