As well as the Leaders providing the weekly activities we have a Executive Committee. The Executive Committee’s responsibilities are to provide support to the Leaders, secure adequate and managed funds for the Group to keep operating, to ensure sufficient resources and equipment, to maintain all property owned by or used by the Scout Group and provide insurance cover for members, property and equipment. The Committee aims to meet every term with the Group Scout Leader and Section Leaders to discuss matters arising and fundraising. The Scout Group has various fundraising schemes.

Members of the Group Executive Committee are the Charity Trustees of the Scout Group. Charity Trustees are responsible for complying with all the legislation applicable to Charities. Along with Section Leaders the Executive Committee is comprised of five additional roles who are ex-officio members of the Committee.
