District Treasurer

The role of the District Treasurer is to provide sound financial administrative support and information to the Scout District and to assist in the effective administration of the District.

The District Treasurer maintains the District’s accounts, provides support to the District Explorer Scout Units, prepares the District budget and ensures the completion of the District Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Charity Commission .
