We’re looking for Youth Leads for two of our Districts – one or more* for Flintshire, and one or more* for Wrexham.
Youth Leads support volunteers to make sure that young people shape their programme, influence decisions, and take the lead.
District Youth Leads support volunteers in their District (including Section Lead Volunteers, Group Lead Volunteers, District Lead Volunteers, and District Explorer Scout Commissioners), helping them to understand the importance of being youth shaped and put it into practice.
District Youth Leads can:
- Support volunteers to put the views and ideas of young people at the heart of their section’s programme.
- Promote participation in the YouShape award and top awards.
- Help to make sure that young people get regular opportunities to take the lead, including promoting peer leadership and the Young Leaders’ Scheme.
- Inspire and motivate young people in the District and make sure they know about all the different opportunities available to them in Scouts, including what they can do when they turn 18.
- Influence decisions that are made in the District as a member of the District Trustee Board, making sure that young people are at the heart of decisions.
