Scout Team - Assistant to Scout Team Lead

Details

• Accessibility
  You do not need previous management or leadership experience, but you should be comfortable working with others and taking responsibility for agreed tasks. Good communication, organisation and teamwork are particularly useful, together with the ability to remain calm, practical and positive when plans change. We would particularly welcome somebody who enjoys helping ideas become reality, supporting other volunteers and contributing to the planning and coordination of activities. Previous Scouting experience can be useful but is not essential, as training and support will be provided.
