UK Lead for Beaver Scouts
Quick links
Overview of the role
Programme is the totality of what young people do in Scouting. Alongside People and Perception, it is one of the pillars underpinning out strategic plan. By 2025, our ‘Skills for Life’ strategic plan commits us to preparing more young people with skills for life, supported by amazing leaders who deliver an inspiring programme. We will be growing, more inclusive, shaped by young people and making a bigger impact in our communities. The aim of the Programme pillar is to provide a fun, enjoyable, high-quality programme consistently delivered and supported by simple (digital) tools.
As a Programme Delivery Team we are a fun, fast paced team of 10, focused on designing, developing and supporting delivery of high quality programme that is relevant to young people, grounded in the best non-formal education practices and supports our theory of change.
The role will be overseeing the Beaver Section across the UK, supporting as many young people to achieve their top awards as possible. This is done by focusing on supporting volunteers on the ground to deliver a top quality programme.
We’re looking for someone to champion this section. You will drive uptake of HQ resources that help us to meet our strategic goals. You will also find ways to hear the realities of local delivery, feeding back what is working and what isn’t so we can continually improve the support we give local Scouting.
