Board of Trustees

The Northumberland Scouts Board of Trustees shapes and approves our local strategy.

The County Trustee Board plays a vital role in the running of Northumberland Scout County. The Trustee Board make decisions and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that the resources are available so that the best quality Scouting can be delivered in the County.
