Leadership Opportunities in the Lincolnshire Scouts Senior Team

Applications or nominations are open for two important volunteer leadership roles: County Programme Support Team Leader and County Youth Lead.


These opportunities arise as Ellie and Caitlin step down from their current roles. Ellie has made a significant and valued contribution to Lincolnshire Scouts, both in her current role and previously as County Youth Commissioner. Caitlin has also made a great contribution during her time in the role. She will shortly be moving to Australia to begin university and has decided that this is the right time for her to stand down.


As a result, we are now seeking volunteers who are passionate about supporting great programme delivery and youth involvement across the county.


The County Programme Support Team Leader will help coordinate support for programme delivery across Lincolnshire,  to ensure young people experience exciting, high-quality Scouting.


The County Youth Lead will champion youth voice and youth shaped Scouting, ensuring young people are actively involved in decision-making and leadership across the county.


Both roles offer a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of Scouting in Lincolnshire and to work as part of the county leadership team supporting over 5,000 young people and 2,500 volunteers.


If you are interested in finding out more please take a look at the application packs:
