Leaders, Assistants and Helpers

Are you right?

We are looking for honest honourable people who want to help build a better community and have some great fun doing it.  

You don’t have to have been a Scout or Guide before, you don’t have to be an outdoor type, you don’t have to have a special skill and even if you cannot give a lot of time or can only help occasionally, you would be welcome.

Every little bit of assistance is useful.

You would be working alongside some pretty good people to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
(from the Aim of the Scout Movement)

The Scout movement is non-political and religiously non-denominational.

But it’s not a one way street.

What can being a Leader, Assistant or Helper mean for you?

Well!  

It is a lot of fun (assuming you have a sense of humour)

• You learn some really interesting things
• You get to do some really exciting activities
• You get to know some really amazing people
• You get to do some silly things without raising eyebrows
• You get a buzz from being involved in improving your community

But you also get a lot of valuable training and experience that help you develop

• Leadership skills,
• Self reliance
• Organisational skills

and you get the chance to practice them in a “safe” environment before you try them in your work place and, yes, the skills you learn in Scouting also work there.

Good employers see involvement is Scouting as a positive thing so it enhances your CV.

Being a volunteer position you don’t get paid but the non-monetary payback is immense and, depending on conditions, you could get assistance with expenses.
