Want to use your skills to make a difference locally? West Lothian Scouts are looking for a volunteer Treasurer to support the district behind the scenes. It’s a flexible role where your time and skills can directly help create opportunities for young people across the area. You’ll help manage finances, support planning, and work with a friendly volunteer team — all while fitting the role around your existing work and home life.

As District Treasurer, you’ll also be part of the District Trustee Board, helping support the governance and future direction of Scouting in West Lothian. This makes the role a great opportunity for personal and career development, particularly for anyone interested in gaining experience in charity governance, leadership, finance, or committee work. The role would suit someone who likes organisation, enjoys working with numbers, and wants to contribute to a positive local organisation.

Flexible volunteering, Remote-friendly, Full support provided

No formal qualifications are required. We’d especially welcome people with experience in:

• Finance or bookkeeping
• Administration
• Running a business
• Charity or community groups

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone dependable, approachable, and willing to get involved. You do not need previous Scouting experience, and support will be provided to help you feel confident in the role.

Volunteers (aged 18-25) taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity.
