Group Leadership Team Recruitment

Starting something new can be daunting. Ease new volunteers into management at the Scouts with the four step challenge to show them how great it can be and let them discover it at their own pace.

Show new young people and adults what Scouts is all about with an open event. Combined with an adult talk and a skills survey, this can be a great recruitment tool.

Sit a group of adults down and show them why they should volunteer with Scouts. Whether it's part of an AGM, at an open event or on a camp, help them see that Scouts is something they want to be a part of.

Write adverts like a pro, create engaging social media content and build your vacancy board. Sending the right message in the right way is key to bringing in new volunteers.

Guiding your Group Leadership Team is a Group Lead Volunteer, but they're not always easy to find. Whether it's someone you already know, or someone brand new to Scouts, go to them and welcome them into your team.

Social media is a great way of advertising opportunities, especially for Group Leadership Teams. Use it to engage people outside of your normal circles and bring people in to support your Group.

If you're looking for new volunteers, support on a session, or sponsorship and fundraising, working with local businesses can help. Grow your community connections and link up with businesses near you.

Is your area full of adult students? Then bring them in!

Students can bring new ideas, fresh perspectives and a new face for your young people. 

If you can master those first conversations, you'll be able to give a new volunteer a warm welcome and get them off to a great start on their journey with Scouts.
