Scout Leader

We are looking for 2-3 motivated volunteers who would enjoy working with young people (10 ½ - 14) to be leaders of our Scout Troop, planning and delivering the Scouting programme over the year. Primary task is to plan and deliver the "Scouting programme" (a mixture of games and activities that work towards the many badges Scouts can earn), alongside the other leaders in the team. This involves attendance at our Thursday evening meetings (during term time only), etc.

Experience required

What we are looking for are volunteers who are up for a challenging but rewarding role helping to lead the Scout Troop. They should be proactive, willing to take the lead, and above all want to make a difference to the young people in the troop.
