Vacancy Board

The Chair leads the Trustee Board and the recruitment for new trustees. They objectively chair the Trustee Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting, set the meeting agenda and plan its schedule. They’ll make sure that all Trustees are properly trained and understand their own responsibilities.

Our current chair is stepping down over the summer and we would love someone to work with her over the next few months as part of a handover before she leaves.

We are looking for a willing volunteer, to help over see the facilites we might have as a group and manager a team to ensure they are in good working order and up to specifications, and deal with any issues that may arrise with the facilities.

Gingerbread baker? Den-maker? Whatever your skills, we want you to join the adventure and help our eager six to eight year old Beavers gain skills for life. One session you might be exploring the great outdoors. And the next? Learning new things right on your doorstep.

We’re all about teamwork here at 3rd Newbury Scouts. In the Beavers team, you might be planning their first ever trip to the seaside. Or, maybe you’ll help mentor your fellow volunteers. Struggling with communication or organisation? Not a problem – the beauty of volunteering in a team means there’s likely someone who can help you out. And that’s what volunteering with us is all about!

By helping out, you’ll be creating lifelong memories for our Beavers. And when they’re ready, you’ll send them off to become courageous Cubs, eager to reach new heights on their journey with Scouts.

A typical weekday session might look something like:

• Running adventurous activities and exciting games
• Helping and supporting young people
• Chatting and collaborating with fellow volunteers and parents and carers.

Our Monday Night Beavers runs from 5:15pm to 6:30pm term time only.

Give it a go, take the Four Week Challenge, you’ll love it.

We believe in empowering young people to take the lead and make their own choices wherever possible, which is why we try to make sure all of Cub meetings are run in collaboration with young people themselves, and designed around their interests and needs. Across the organisation, this is often referred to as ‘Youth Shaped Scouting’.

The more young people are involved in shaping their experiences, the more they will get out of them, and the more likely they are to thrive within the Scouts – achieving their top awards, and staying on to the older sections. One way you can make this happen is by making sure your Cubs should get plenty of opportunities to practice peer leadership, in their Sixes and elsewhere.

We are looking to expand our leadership team with our Wednesday Nights Cub Pack, so if you would like to help out please get in contact using the form below and come and take our Four Week Challenge, you’ll love it.

Our Wednesday Night Cubs runs from 6:00pm to 7:30pm term time only.
