As Youth Lead for East Lothian, you’ll be an essential part of the District Leadership Team, working alongside the District Lead Volunteer and the Chairperson of the District Trustee Board. Your mission? To make sure young people aged 4–25 are truly at the heart of every decision that shapes their Scouting experience in your district. From planning to reviewing programmes, you’ll empower young people to speak up, share their ideas, and help shape the Scouting adventures they want.

What You’ll Do:

• Champion Youth-Led Scouting: Work with the District Lead Volunteer, District Chairperson, and District Team to make sure Scouting across East Lothian is shaped by young people, in collaboration with adults.
• Build a District Youth Team: Bring together a team of young people from across East Lothian to help lead the way.
• Join the District Trustee Board: As an ex-officio Trustee, you’ll ensure that young people have a voice in key decisions.
• Support Youth-Led Scouting in Programmes: Work to include young people in local decision-making at all levels.
• Widen Your Impact: Stay connected with the broader District work, passing on any National and Regional updates that can help the district.
• Drive Real Change: Make sure youth-led Scouting has a strong and visible impact across your district.

  Note: Some of these responsibilities might be shared with others, including your District Youth Team.
