Adult Helper for Joeys/Cubs/Scouts for Samford Scout Group

Samford Scout Group QLD
Logo for Samford Scout Group QLD

Scouts isn’t just for youth members as our Adult Helpers and volunteers play an important role in the Association, sharing their love of adventure and desire to enrich young people’s lives.

Adult Helpers are non-uniformed adults who regularly assist Leaders in the delivery of the Scout Youth Program in the youth sections. Adult Helpers are only involved in Youth Member activities under the guidance of a trained Leader holding a Scout Certificate of Adult Leadership (CAL).

Regularly is defined as attending most program nights and are regularly helping and supporting overnight activities such as hikes and camps.

Adult Helpers are part of the backbone of Scouting, and are dedicated volunteers who care about the guidance and development of the young people in their Section as well as the community in which they live. They are responsible for helping to deliver programs that support young people in reaching their potential.

No prior experience is necessary to become an Adult Helper. All Adult Helpers undergo Scout training on child safety, WH&S and other requirements. They are also given the support of all our adult volunteer team to help them.

Adult Helpers are required to attend:

  • Program meetings one night a week during school terms
  • Program activities, such as hiking or camping trips, which take place a few weekends during the year.

Becoming an Adult Helper offers:

  • Opportunities for social networking
  • A sense of personal satisfaction
  • Camps and activities
  • Ongoing personal and life skill development.

Males and female adult volunteers are equally involved.

Child safety is very important to Scouts. Therefore, along with training in child safety, Adult Helpers must be able to be awarded a Qld Government Blue Card (via Scouts Queensland) to ensure the safety of our youth members.
