Team Tasks

Help Section Teams run quality programmes  

• Support all Sections to deliver projects where all young people can have a positive impact in the community.
• Help volunteers with any programme changes, such as new badges and activities, to help young people achieve Top Awards.
• Encourage international trips and activities. 
• Support volunteers to include nights away in their Section’s programme. 
• Help volunteers gain their Nights Away Permits. 
• Organise events for the District when Section Teams decide they’re needed, and make sure they’re accessible to all young people.
• Keep an eye out for any learning that’ll help Section Teams deliver a fantastic programme. The Volunteering Development Team can then give volunteers opportunities to develop and learn new skills. 

Facilitate programme networking opportunities 

• Encourage Section Teams to share good practice across the District by creating opportunities to network. 

Help Section Teams access expert advice and support by making sure: 

• There are skilled people to support Sections’ programmes (in areas that volunteers may not be experts in themselves).   
• Sections can access adventurous activities, either through permit holders or external providers.
