The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an opportunity for members to meet with the Trustees and hear their report on the charity, review of the accounts, and other administrative business.
It’s a compulsory yearly meeting that happens within 6 months of the end of the charity’s financial year, and where the Scout Council appoints their Trustees.
There’s a formal part to the AGM, but it doesn’t mean it has to be a lengthy or tedious meeting. This is an opportunity to celebrate the things you’ve done in the past year, show what the young people have achieved, thank volunteers and connect with the local community. We end the night with the yearly awards for all our packs.
Its a chance to officially welcome new members, although we welcome new members at any time.
