Leadership and Management
As a charity registered in England, Chester-le-Street Scouts has both a leadership team which focuses on the operation and programme of Scouting, and a district Trustee Board that is responsible for the governance side of our organisation, and its members are recognised Trustees of the charity. Members of the district team are chosen by the District Commissioner, and members of the Trustee Board are either nominated, elected, co-opted on; or are ex-officio members by nature of their appointment. The District Commissioner is appointed by the County Commissioner in line with the Scout Association’s search and appointment process.
