Woodcraft Folk Scotland
- VO91654
Woodcraft Folk are looking for group leaders and helpers to help set up new groups in Edinburgh. We aim to start with groups for children and young people from 6 to 9 years. Groups usually meet one evening a week in term time.
Our groups aim to develop children and young people's confidence and awareness of the world. We promote big ideas like equality, co-operation and environmental sustainability through fun activities.
We do a wide range of activities including games, craft, exploring nature, bushcraft, drama, discussions and songs. As well as weekly group nights we take part in day events and camps with groups from across Scotland.
If you are interested in joining our friendly team of volunteers please get in touch with Fleur Gayet, Scottish Officer by emailing scotland@woodcraft.org.uk or phoning 07833 051 557. We will provide induction information, taster sessions and training opportunities.
