Current Vacancies
Group Treasurer:
Do you have a good head for numbers without losing sight of the big picture?
If so, you could use your talents to help transform the lives of young people in our local community.
A Group Treasurer supports the Group Leadership Team and the members of our Trustee Board by keeping track of our money.
Our Trustee Board plays a key role in the running of our Group. Trustees make decisions and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that the best quality scouting can be delivered to young people in our sections. In fact, we could not function properly without it!
All our Trustee Board Members have different skills to offer, come from different backgrounds and have varying experiences. This helps to ensure a variety of perspectives and a more rounded and effective team. Maybe you could bring something new to the team?
This is a rewarding role and is ideal for someone who would like to support local scouting but not by working directly with young people. If you’ve got an eye for figures, then why not support the growth and development of young people and our leadership team by taking on this vital role.

Beaver Leaders:
Being a peer leader is about being a superhero for a little while – doing things like welcoming new people to the Colony, being extra helpful during a camp, or taking charge of a game or activity. Everyone takes it in turns to take on the challenge.

Cub Team Volunteers:
Cubs start small but think big, making the very most of what they have and seeking out adventures wherever they go. Throughout their journey, you’ll help them work towards a range of skill-boosting badges and awards. From athletics and astronomy to photography and pioneering, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into.

Scout Team Volunteers:
Week by week, thousands of ordinary people show up at Scout meetings to empower young people to learn new skills, make new friends and learn to stand on their own two feet. No two weeks are the same, but the impact you make is always great.

Will I have to run it all on my own?
No there are other leaders in the sections who all help support each other.
