help other to
find Adventure
Adults can help as leaders, assistant leaders and section assistants in all sections of the movement. This is very important as without this support we cannot function.
For example: In a beaver colony you can have a
beaver leader, 1 or more assistant beaver leaders,
and 1 or more section assistants.
Many people might think they have no suitable skills to offer as a leader in Scouting, but they would be wrong. Everyday things that you do at home or at work could be of use to us.
It can also be great fun for the leaders and assistants too. Getting to try activities you might never have thought you would, and making a whole new circle of friends.
Adults can work as leaders or assistant Leaders from the age of 18.
leaders and assistant leaders become a full member of the association, taking a promise and wearing uniform; while section assistants can choose to be uniformed or not.
leaders are given the required training in a variety of training modules, tailored to meet the volunteers requirements.
Active support is open to adults with an interest in Scouting.
The membership is a mixture of:
People who want to help Scouting, but may feel they don't have the time to commit to being a full time section leader.
Retired leaders who still like to help Scouting.
Leaders who also want to take part in the social aspects of the unit.
The section provides assistance where asked with the running and staffing of district activities.
The section also holds monthly meetings at the district scout centre, usually with some form of activity or talk, plus occasional trips, visits, dinners or other social events.
