Leaders at Gumdale

ALL LEADERS AND GROUP SUPPORT COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE VOLUNTEERS.  

All adult leaders and supporters are volunteers. They may be extended some privileges by the Group (subsidised uniforms, cut-rate fees for their children, Scout Association training courses paid for) in acknowledgement for the work they do.

To become a Leader a person must: 

Be at least 18 years of age; 

Be of excellent character;

Attend an Introduction to Scouting and Sign Up Meeting
Attend training courses:  

- Basic Training – Complete basic and sectional e-learning and attend a basic practical weekend course.
-  Advanced Training – Complete advanced e-learning and attend an advanced practical weekend course 

Enquiries for leadership at Gumdale Scout Group can be made to the Group Leader or group Chairperson.  All inquiries will be treated in confidence and without obligation. 

As a last note, it should be said that leadership in Scouting develops your own personal skills, abilities and confidence far above your current level. So why not give it a go on a temporary basis and see if it suits you, again there is no obligation to put on a uniform until straight away.
