Scout Active Support is a way for adults to volunteer some time
to Scouting in a flexible way that suits them. Scout Active
Support is a resource for managers of local Scouting including
Group Scout Leaders, District Commissioners and the County
Commissioner, to use in which ever way is required. The ways
that Scout Active Support can support Scouting are endless; below
are a few examples.
Example 1: People who were Leaders but
have had to take a step back due to family or work commitments, can
now Actively Support Scouting. Helping the Disticts and
County without having to commit to a weekly meeting. All we ask is
that you give your best; If that means 3 times a year that is fine.
We value any time that you can spare!
Example 2: A new
Beaver Scout Colony has just opened. Members of a District
Scout Active Support Unit who have experience in running a Beaver
Scout Colony could support the new leadership team for the first
term.
Example 3: A Cub Scout
Pack is doing the local knowledge activity badge. A member of
the Group Scout Active Support Unit could attend meetings for 2
weeks to share their knowledge of the local area with the Cub
Scouts.
