Supporting Leaders who Manage

Being an effective leader and manager in Scouting is an important and rewarding role.

The Resource links on the right give you easy access to resources to help you with all aspects of your vital role.

We help leaders recruit more adults and facilitate Scouting in their groups. Please contact us for further information and help.

The safety of young people and their safeguarding is at the core of our priorities.

Importance of Executives and Trustees

One reason why the Scouts in Winchester are successful is down to the  size and quality of our executive teams and their sub-committees. 

When we have happy teams that combine both effective uniformed leaders and strong and focussed executives we deliver outstanding Scouting to larger numbers of young people in Winchester.

The key to enjoying your time as an Executive member is to fully understand your role and the tasks involved - individually and collectively as set out below.

Safety & Risk Assessment Tools

Risk assessment is essential for safe Scouting, and is present in everything that we do. Resources are provided to help provide simple and practical guidance on this issue.

The short video clip outlines the risk assessment process. This includes completing, communicating, acting upon and reviewing a risk assessment.

You can find some useful resources in the Safety, Safeguarding and Risk Assessment links panel to the right of this page.

Activities

Activities are an integral part of Scouting, and what makes it so exciting for the young people involved. From here you should be able to find all the information you need to provide all the activities your young people can manage.

Our advisors are on-hand to assist with specialist activities.
