Programme Team

Purpose

From supporting directly at events, to helping out behind the scenes and maintaining our physical and digital assets, the team play their part to support our various volunteers. By keeping things running smoothly, they keep pressure off the volunteers who work with our young people.

Who’s in the team

• Programme Team Leaders
• Programme Team Members 
• Team Leaders of any sub-teams of the District Programme Team e.g Programme Support, Top Awards, Nights Away, Paddle Sports and Shooting.

Tasks for the whole team

• Help Sections across the District work together. 

Allocated tasks

Help Section Teams run high-quality programmes  

• 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.
• 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 

Make 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. 

Other responsibilities

There are a number of accreditations which can be delegated by the Lead Volunteer to share specific responsibilities.
