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.

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.
