Squirrel Team Leader & Team Member

Hart Plain Scouts near Waterlooville are looking for positive team volunteers to join the team. The Squirrels meet on Mondays in term time at 5pm for one hour.

Wanted: Natural smilers, panic-free adapters and easy encouragers. In the Squirrels Section Team, you’ll be making our 4-6 year olds’ eyes light up with wonder on a regular basis. We’re talking get-down-to-their-eyeline talkers and ‘let’s-discover-the-World-together’ co-adventurers. Sound like you? You’ll be passing on skills for life to our youngest Section, while mentoring, making sure the environment’s safe and keeping everything behind the scenes ticking over. Never been a Scout before? Neither have the Squirrels! Trust us, it’s never too late to get involved in the fun!

About the organisation:

Located in the heart of Waterlooville, 1st Hart Plain runs weekly meetings for Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts.
The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs. The Scout Section is for young people aged between 10½ and 14 years. There is core flexibility in the age range: young people can join from age 10, and can move to Explorers between age 13½ and 14½. As a scout they will:
Master new skills and try new things
Make new friends
Have fun and go on adventures, at home and abroad
Explore the world around them
Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond

Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Scout Troops to conquer the small task of changing the world.
