The Scouts welcomes girls as well as boys. \n\nWe are all volunteers who believe in the potential of young people and are proud to be part of such an inspirational and transformational charitable movement. You can be involved as much or as little as you wish, and a warm welcome awaits you.\n\nScouting offers enormous satisfaction to volunteers, who make a real difference to the lives of young people and the community. It\'s also great experience for anyone looking to undertake teacher training, social work, and fostering or adoption.\n\nThe mission of Scouting is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, and has been empowering them to make a positive contribution to society since 1908. From crafts, cooking, science experiments and games; to den building, camping, climbing, kayaking and hiking - all offering different opportunities and supporting resilience, teamwork and leadership; to behind the scenes admin. and governance - we have something you can get involved with. Join us - and be part of something incredible.\n',

'The Trustee Board is a friendly team who will give you all the help and support you need to undertake the role. We work well as a tram and support each other fully.\n\nDon\'t worry if you\'re not familiar with The Scouts, we can show you the ropes (and even how to tie them in knots if you so wish :-) !) Most of the Trustees are also delivering activities and leading groups, so need someone with a bit more time to keep everything ticking along as it should do in terms of governance.\n\nGeneral flexible online Scout Association training is available and you will be mentored by the previous Chair if required.\n\nReasonable expenses are paid on receipt, although unfortunately we do not offer travel expenses. If this is likely to be an issue, please let us know so we can assess every case on an individual basis. ',
