Greater Manchester West Scout County

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.
