Squirrel Scouts is the newest branch of the Scout family tree for 4-6 year olds. This is an age when minds are fizzing, energy and curiosity levels are high and lives are full of wow and wonder. Would you like to use your fun, enthusiasm and joy in seeing young people at this influential stage in their lives to learn, explore, take risks and dive in to new activities? 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. Squirrels work towards challenge and activity badges focussing on different skills essential to Early Years development, as well as being able to take part in lots of adventurous activities such as water sports, and starting their love of the outdoors and hiking. There is a 2 year pre-written programme for Squirrel Scouts, so you can base your sessions on this while you get used to the role, and there are online cohort meeting to support new Squirrel Volunteers too. 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 difference to young people.
