How can I become a leader?

The group always welcomes offers of help from adults (18 and over). You would normally start by helping out on a regular basis and build up experience and responsibility over time. All leaders and helpers are subject to CRB checks and checked for suitability before being allowed to be alone with young people. The Scout Association also offer training for all positions. If you are seriously considering becoming a leader or have been a leader with another group then please Contact Us.

What does the scout executive committee do?

The scout executive committee is made up of a mixture of leaders and parents who meet regularly to plan fundraising activities for the group and organise group events. They oversee the allocation of group funds, maintain all group equipment and organise fundraising events. An AGM is held every year to which all parents are invited during which the officers are elected and the financial audit presented. The executive committee would welcome any parent wishing to join at any time.
