Join the District Events Team...

⚜️ We’re looking for extra volunteers to join our District’s Events Team as an Event Assistant!

🏕️ Don’t worry, you won’t have the responsibility of planning and organising district events! Instead, you’ll work with the core Events Team and will be given tasks to support the delivery of events. This is a great opportunity to shape great experiences for our young people.

🤝 You’re not on your own! You’ll be a member of our fun, supportive team.

🗓️ Flexible roles to suit you!

• Willingness to be a member, take The Scout Association Promise and wear the Scout Uniform
• Accept and promote Scouting’s fundamentals and the implementation of the youth programme
• Have time available, amongst other commitments to commit to the workload
• A willingness to promote the agreed viewpoints rather than perpetuate personal views
• A willingness to collaborate with the Programme & Events Team, and to work as a team to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people

Main Responsibilities:

• Work with the Programme & Events Team Leader and other Team Members to assist with the preparation of section specific district events
• Share ideas on ways to deliver safe, fun, inclusive and age-appropriate events for each section.
• Work with the Programme & Events Team Leader to ensure that tasks that you complete are within the set budgets and procedures
• Assist with the completion of tasks from the District Event checklists for each event that is delivered
• Help to ensure that district events give added value to groups, and are not something that individual groups could easily achieve themselves
• Encourage the delivery of events that are shaped by the young people themselves
• Assist with the physical preparations and takedowns of events
• Ensure that all district events are delivered in a safe manner and in accordance with The Scout Association’s Policies, Rules and Organisation (POR)
