Help the ""future makers"" start a brand-new story.
We are relaunching our Explorer unit, and we need a ""go-getter"" to lead the way for our 14 to 18-year-olds. T
his is a tricky challenge but an amazing chance to build something from the ground up.
You will:
- - Help young people step up and take charge of their own adventures, from mountain treks to community projects.
- Encourage them to work under their own steam, giving them the independence they need for school, college, or that first job interview.
- Think on your feet to support a unit that is shaped by the big dreams of the young people themselves.
- Build a sense of belonging where every Explorer feels welcome and ready to ""give it a go"".
- Lead an inspiring programme that focuses on ""skills for life,"" fun, and friendship.
What skills do I need?
You don't need to be an expert camper or a knot-tying pro—we value your personality above all else. We are looking for people who are:
- Relatable and grounded: Someone who can talk human-to-human with young people and volunteers.
- Ready to give it a go: A ""go-getter"" who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty or try something new alongside the Scouts.
- Inclusive: Someone who believes everyone is welcome, regardless of their background.
- Team players: Happy to work with other adults to deliver an inspiring programme.
