Due to growth of young people joining the group and secondly being added to our waiting list, we are now in need of some more help to get our new Scout Section launched (Wednesday evenings)
You might not have been involved in scouting before, rest assured that doesn’t matter!
We are looking for people that want to make a difference, and to help us transform children into amazing adults of the future!
Come and join Team Gresley. Rest assured the adults have as much fun as the kids!
Main Tasks for the whole team
Create a safe environment:
- Create a safe environment for young people by sharing the Yellow Card with parents and carers, the Orange Card with Young Leaders, and display posters in your meeting place.
- Check the programme can run safely.
- Make sure adult:child ratios are always maintained and there’s a leader in charge for each session.
- Brief helpers on the practical aspects of safety and safeguarding. This includes giving them a copy of the Yellow Card and confirming they’ve read and understood it. Make sure helpers know who to speak to if they have any concerns.
- Create and review risk assessments.
- Check there are first aid kits or supplies for all activities.
- Review safety incidents and report them in the right way.
- Report any safeguarding concerns directly to the UKHQ Safeguarding Team.
Plan and deliver a great programme:
- Work with young people to plan and deliver a great programme, including nights away and adventurous activities, to help them achieve their Top Awards.
- Find ways to continue to improve the programme.
- Make good use of stakeholders in their community, including other Scout volunteers.
Make sure there’s a great culture for everyone:
- FHelp young people and volunteers feel welcome and included, and make changes (when necessary) so the environment and activities are accessible for everyone.
- Create leadership opportunities for Young Leaders.
- Mentor volunteers in the team and help them develop, including Young Leaders.
- Check volunteers behave positively and in line with Our Volunteering Culture.
