The Executive Committee are an important part of Batchworth Sea Scouts and essential to the group’s continuance. We have charity status which means that most members of executive committee are trustees of the charity. The group is led by Simon Theobald, our Group Scout Leader and is managed by the Group Executive Committee chaired by Keith Wall.
The Executive is responsible for the maintenance of our HQ and the equipment within it. It raises funds and administers the group’s finances. It also helps with the recruitment of Leaders and other helpers. Other things the executive do is plan the Christmas party (see below), our fantastic jumble sales and the May fair. There are many different, varied fun roles and tasks that need filling and completing as part of the executive committee.
It consists of people who are ex-officio members because of their position (Leaders, Treasurer, Secretary, etc). In addition to the ex-officio members, there are members who are elected, nominated and co-opted.
No experience is necessary to help on the executive committee and the minimum time commitment is one evening every two months, although we hope you would like to help a little more as well. If you are interested in helping Batchworth Sea Scouts as part of the Executive, please contact Simon on simontheobald@compuserve.com or Keith on batchworth.chairman@ntlworld.com.
