Scouting relies on strong leadership. So if you can motivate others, keep a cool head and balance a variety of views then you would be an ideal chairperson. With experience in steering meetings to produce excellent decisions, you’ll be equally willing to speak your mind as encouraging others to do so.

You will use your strong communication skills to help a team of committed volunteers who make up an executive committee arrive at a good decision that will benefit the young people. Able to work as part of the team you will also contribute to the direction and development of the Group, District and County.

No previous experience of Scouting is necessary, What’s more important is your own skill and experience as well as empathy with the Scouts’ mission and values. We will provide all appropriate training and ongoing support 

Tasks and responsibilities

• Chair Executive Committee meetings
• Plan the annual cycle of committee meetings and set the agendas
