The Scottish Board plays a vital role in relation.
To policy and management of The Scout Association in Scotland.
It relies particularly on the input from elected members representing the membership as a whole from across Scotland.
I would encourage you to take the opportunity to ensure that the elected member representation on the Board remains strong and reflects the make up and geographical spread of Scouting in Scotland.
Nominations for elected places on the Scottish Board require to be made by six individual members of the Association, of whom at least one is also a member of the Scottish Council. There are four places for election serving for a 3-year term to the AGM in 2012.
Not more than three elected members holding a Scout appointment in any Region, and not more than one from any District within that Region can serve on the Scottish Board. Currently nominations can be accepted from within all Regions, but nominees holding appointments in the following Districts (who have serving members) are not eligible for appointment - Dundee;Perth & Kinross, Midlothian and Greenock.
