Would you like to be part of a team who hikes, climbs, enjoys the great outdoors, whilst also learning new skills and pass on those you already have to the next generation? As a Section Team Member, you will have the opportunity to do all this by supporting the Section Team Leader to plan and deliver a safe programme for young people, whilst running games and activities as part of weekly meetings. You can choose to support young people from age 4 to 18, so there is an age range for every skill set. All sections work towards challenge and activity badges covering a range of topics and skills. A sense of humour, empathy with young people and enthusiasm are the main ingredients you can learn the rest as you go along. You might be able to come every week, or every other week. You might have a specific skill you want to bring to the team and focus on that, or be behind the scenes helping with tidying up, shopping and preparing resources for the sessions. Whatever time or skills you have to give, we can find a task for you which will make a different to young people.
