The Volunteer Team is a dedicated group of adult volunteers whose aim is to provide Scouting to the young people of the Chew Valley. The volunteers in the Group are organised into three areas: the Section Teams, the Group Leadership Team, and the Trustee Board.
Section Teams
Responsibilities: The Section Teams are the Leaders responsible for running the weekly sessions and additional events. They plan and deliver a great programme for the relevant age group. They ensure the safety of all activities and complete any required administration, for instance to award badges earned by the young people in the section.
