Within a Scout Group, there will be a number of adult leaders, who give their time voluntarily to help the development of young people. The Group is led by the Group Scout Leader, whose job is to co-ordinate the Group’s activities and to ensure continuity and development.
The Section Team
consists of a team for each section in your Scout Group (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts), they work together to run high-quality programmes safely.
The Group Leadership Team
looks after the overall operation of your Scout Group and helps all the adults in your group work together to plan and run high-quality programmes. The team is led by the Group Scout Leader.
The Group Leadership Team will include each of the Section Team Leaders and any other people that want to focus on supporting the whole Group.
Your group might find it helpful to use sub-teams of your Group Leadership Team. Sub-teams have a specific area of focus such as building maintenance or fundraising within the overall scope of the Group Leadership Team.
The Group Trustee Board
Together, your Group’s Trustees make sure that your Scout Group is well managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, equipment is in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and our policies, organisation, and rules. Their support helps your group’s section teams run a fantastic programme that gives young people experiences that help them learn and will remember forever!
