You will play a crucial role in ensuring good governance and leadership. You will ensure the young people are safe, and that the group is well led, with effective leadership.
We are looking for someone with experience of leadership, governance and general management.Some experience of programme management, or of leading recruitment of volunteers would be useful. You will need a commitment to ensuring that the highest standards of health and safety and safeguarding are maintained. You will need to be comfortable chairing small committees and working with other board members to reach decisions in the best interest of the group and members.
The Scouts Group provides fun, adventure and skills for life and gives young people the opportunity to enjoy new adventures, experience outdoors and take part in creative, community and international activities. We help young people to interact with others, make new friends, gain confidence and to reach their full potential. Being a Scout is about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Alongside new friends, Scouts master the skills that help them weather the storms of life, and try things they'd never get to do at home or at school - working with trained volunteers to achieve whatever they set their minds to.
Starting small, thinking big
Scouts start small but think big. They stand up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorsteps, confident in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.
In a society that can often feel increasingly isolated and inward facing, Scouts build bridges and break barriers.
Throughout history, they’ve played all sorts of useful roles in society, and this legacy continues today.
Listening in, lending a hand
Scouts seek the answers to the big questions. Most importantly, they say "yes" more often than they say "no" - whether they’re taking part in their first ever camp away from home, writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.
