Joey Scout Leader/Assistant Joey Scout Leader
1st Blackheath Scout GroupOur Leaders are responsible for helping to devise and deliver programs that support young people in reaching their potential. Not only do they play a vital role in empowering young people to strive for their best as they progress through their Scouting journey, but Leaders themselves develop a variety of transferable skills, meet new people and discover adventure for themselves, all while having loads of fun.
No prior Scouting experience is necessary to become a Leader. In fact, all Leaders undergo training on all aspects of youth leadership, program planning, safety and other requirements to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and confidence to support our youth members and work with other volunteers. They are also given resources of program ideas to help them get started on their Scouting career.
Joey Leaders are required to:
- Attend Joey meetings on Wednesday afternoons during school terms
- Participate in a quarterly Leaders meeting
- Complete compulsory training.
