Make a bird box; transform a future.
Would you like the chance to canoe, climb and make bird boxes while improving your CV? As a Section Assistant in the 1st Locksheath Scout Group you will do all of this and more, using your current skills and learning new ones.
We now need fun, committed people to support young people, helping run games and activities as part of weekly meetings. As part of a small team, you will be plan and deliver a safe and exciting programme for young people, helping them achieve badges and awards.
Enthusiasm, an empathy with young people and a sense of humour are a must. But we can teach you the rest. We’ll support you all the way and ensure you get the training and support you need.
Most of our sections have good Section leaders in place, and assistants helping them. However, the more help we have, the better we are able to run, quite apart from making sure we have enough leaders to cover if someone has another commitment. The more challenging activities – whether that be complex crafts, learning new skills, or more adventurous things like camps, hikes and the great outdoors, are always easier with more hands on deck.
Choose one age group to work with, try more than one, or even join a rota to help in multiple sections – even if you cannot help every week, you can make a difference to our young people.
