Are you ready to make a difference? We're looking for a passionate and motivated individual aged around 18-25 to join us as a Youth Trustee. This is your chance to shape the future of scouting, represent young voices, and gain invaluable leadership experience.
This voluntary opportunity offers a unique leadership role, connections with community leaders and influencers, and development of skills in governance, strategy, and advocacy. Trustees are a team of volunteers who see the big picture, make decisions, and work together to help Scouts run smoothly.
Every week we give 70 people aged 6-14 the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life. It’s important then, that young people are involved and engaged with decision-making at all levels in the Scouts.
This opportunity will help you to boost your employability – having a Scouts role on your CV is bound to impress employers and universities. It’s flexible and can fit around your schedule, you’ll become part of a fabulous team, and make a real difference to your community. You will collaborate with experienced trustees to guide our strategic direction.
It’s an ideal way to volunteer if you’d like to help at Scouts, but without a weekly commitment. It’s great for your mental health – by helping a brilliant cause, you’ll get an amazing sense of achievement. You’ll work as a team – if you’ve got exams, a busy week at work or a holiday coming up, there’ll be people to help. There’s so much you can do from the comfort of your own home or favourite workspace. There’s plenty of friendly faces to support you at every step of your trustee journey.
Please take a good look at the booklet on our website for an introduction to the role, and who we’re looking for https://www.69thbathscouts.org.uk/news/article/join-us-as-a-youth-trustee
Please contact us via the website (https://www.69thbathscouts.org.uk/contact) by 31 August and we’ll be in touch!
We ask that you attend quarterly meetings, usually in the evenings, and support ad hoc with other initiatives which is completely flexible.
If you’re successful, we’ll welcome you to meet the rest of the team. You can also help out with events or activities if you’d like to.
You’ll be asked to complete a few simple checks, such as a DBS and we’ll support you in learning the ropes.
We look forward to hearing from you!
