Experience of administration would be helpful, although not essential. Support is provided by the rest of the District team who can offer advice and support to ensure the role is made as straightforward as possible. As the role could mean becoming a member of the District Trustee, applicants must not be legally disqualified from being a trustee. All volunteers require a DBS check (these are provided free of charge by The Scout Association)
The role requires working with other adults in a team both face to face and online, good communication skills and a commitment to getting things done. Volunteers have found that supporting and developing a Scout Group not only helps enhance their CV but is rewarding community work.
Open to discussion and flexible volunteering
