Ramblers Scotland
- VO100755
Do you want to share your love of walking with others in your local area? Becoming a walk leader is a great way to do it.
As a walk leader, you can plan and lead group walks, and you get to choose exactly where to walk and share your favourite routes with others. You’ll grow in confidence and skills with each walk you lead and may find yourself choosing to lead more challenging walks and explore new areas. It’s a great way to connect with both nature and people in your community.
The Ramblers has over 24,000 walk leaders leading a variety of walks, from 10-minute urban strolls to scrambles up Scotland’s Munros, so no matter your ability, there is a walk for you.
There are currently six groups looking for walk leaders - St Andrews, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, Dalgety Bay and the Fife-wide Fife Young Walkers group. Full training will be provided.
Experience required
You don’t need to have a particular qualification or certification to lead walks, but it’s important to have first aid awareness and skills appropriate to the types of walk you’re leading. As a walk leader, you need to have the skills and confidence you need to lead walks that are safe, enjoyable and welcoming.
Travel details
The groups are based in St Andrews, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Dalgety Bay, and the Fife-wide Fife Young Walkers group. You can decide on the location of the walks you lead.
Travel expenses
Expenses can be discussed on a 1-1 basis.
