A bit about the role
As a Local Growth Officer – Scouts and Explorers, you will be pro-actively helping Counties and Districts achieve their growth ambitions focusing specifically on opening new sections for our Scout and Explorer Scout age ranges (10-18) by collaborating with local volunteers and our wider Growth & Communities team who hold relationships with lead volunteers within each County in England.
You will provide practical ‘hands on’ support that recruits adult volunteers, creating new spaces for young people, aged 10+ to join, prioritising young people from lower income communities, and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic families. Our aim is to create more diverse and inclusive Scout groups and address the current waiting lists where demand currently outweighs the supply of Scouting provision.
