Scouts Group Leader

Dunfermline Scouts
VO101820

Week by week, Scouts volunteers empower thousands of young people aged 4 to 25 to try new things, make new friends and stand on their own two feet.

They are looking for Group Leaders for their Dunfermline and Cairneyhill groups. As a team leader, you will engage with the children/young people in the group, plan activities, help with set up of the group, supervise trips and more. You will be the main point of contact for team members in your group.

You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join them. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and they promise you’ll get more out of it than you put in.

Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.

Experience required

Volunteers should be enthusiastic, willing to engage with others and feel positively about volunteering with children. Good organisational skills would be a plus.

There are opportunities for group leaders in 3 Scout groups in Dunfermline and Cairneyhill. The locations for these are Piggies Lane and Viewfield Church in Dunfermline, and Northbank Road in Cairneyhill.
