Supporting Leaders who Manage
Being an effective leader and manager in Scouting is an important and rewarding role.
The Resource links on the right give you easy access to resources to help you with all aspects of your vital role.
We support leaders to recruit more adults and to facilitate Scouting within their groups. Please contact us for further information and help.
Importance of Executives and Trustees
One reason why Winchester Scouts are so successful is down to the size and quality of our executive teams and their sub-committees. Supported by the District Executive committee, who are our trustees, and the provision of all the vital infrastructure, funding and administration, our uniformed leaders are free to focus on our young people, adventurous programme and parents. This is so important.
When we have happy teams that combine both effective uniformed leaders and strong and focussed executives we deliver outstanding Scouting to larger numbers of young people in Winchester.
The key to enjoying your time as an Executive member is to fully understand your role and the tasks involved - individually and collectively as set out below.
To provide you with all you need we've assembled some resources linked in the "Group & District Scout Roles" panel at the bottom/right of this page.
Safety & Risk Assessment Tools
Risk assessment is at the heart of safe Scouting and is present in everything that we do. Resources are provided to help provide simple and practical guidance on this issue.
The short video clip outlines the risk assessment process. This includes completing, communicating, acting upon and reviewing a risk assessment.
You can find some useful resources in the Safety, Safeguarding & Risk Assessment links panel to the right of this page.
Activities
Activities are an integral part of Scouting, and what makes it so exciting for the young people involved. From here you should be able to find all the information you need to provide all the activities your young people can manage.
Our advisors are on-hand to assist with specialist activities.
