Adults in support

Group Scout Leader
This person is the manager of the group. It is a uniformed and warranted appointment and would suit someone with people management skills and some Scouting experience but this is not essential. They would work closely with the group Chairperson to make sure the group is running properly including having financial security. This is this person who is responsible for appointing the group chairperson. They could also be asked to help out in one of the sections within the group should they be short of leaders subject to availability.

Under the adult learning scheme they will be required to complete Modules 1 - 10 and Modules 20 - 26 inclusive this depends on experience.

Group Executive
The Group and its Leader team is supported by the Executive Committee. The role of the Executive Committee is to oversee the running of the Group and to organise fundraising events to allow the Sections to provide the best possible scouting to the young people within the Group. The Exec Committee is made up of the Chairman, Secretary, Treasurers, Subscriptions Secretary, Group Scout Leader, Section Leaders and any parents or helpers who would like to help.
