Interested?

Trainers are key to the volunteer training scheme at the Scouts. As a volunteer, we value their contribution to delivering the #SkillsForLife to our young people and in helping make Scouting as much an adult experience as it is for the young!

If you have the personal skills (no prior formal qualifications are required), interest and means please reach out to the Training Team for an informal chat. Thanks!

The Assistant Regional Commissioner (Communications) – is vacant. But we like to look at things more as a Communications Team member position is vacant. Join the team and come and have fun. To find out more or have a conversation please email: communications@sesscouts.org.uk or visit HERE

You can make a difference!

The ARC (Communications) – or Comms Team member!! – is a key role which has responsibility for ensuring that Scouting in the Region is appropriately promoted using various media channels, and that communication tools are used effectively to make and keep in contact with both internal and external audiences. It’s exciting and fresh with lots of scope for personal development.

No Scouting experience, no problem! Some interest or knowledge in marketing and communications skills are desirable for the right person to enjoy this position.

We wish to make more use of local media for positive and proactive news stories to support our seven Districts and 89 Groups. The role also includes the coordination of communications in general. This can include websites, social media accounts and working with local media contacts. Effective communication involves a range of tasks and skills, most often undertaken by a team or by a single individual with multiple talents. We wish to create a communications team to enable a number of areas to be broken down into smaller tasks. Sounds great, well it is!
