Executive Committees

The Group Executive Committee plays a vital role in the running of a Scout Group. Executive Committees make decisions and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that the best quality Scouting can be delivered to young people in the Group.

This information should be treated as a guide and read in conjunction with other resources (including The Scout Association’s Policy, Organisation and Rules referred to as POR throughout this factsheet).

Further details of the responsibilities of the Group Executive Committee can be found in chapter 3 and chapter 13 of POR. Note that SV in this factsheet denotes there is a Scottish variation to that section of guidance.
