Beaver Team Volunteer

Name: It could be you....

Role Description: Are you a whizz with glitter, paper plates and cookie dough? Do you love tell stories with funny voices and introducing children to new things they don’t get in school? Do you like walks in the woods and jumping in puddles? If you have reserves of patience for 6 and 7 year olds, have an active imagination and are keen to have a go and try new things - then you could be the person we are looking for. Help us please to preserve and grow Wellesbourne Beavers.

Why Hiring: To run a Beaver section of 24 children it requires a staffing ratio of 1:6 plus the leader-in-charge. We would like to grow the Section as the waiting list and demand for Beavers in Wellesbourne is huge.

They typical term for a Beaver Leader is 2-3 years unless you have an especially keen wish to immortalise your own youth and stay on after your own children have moved to Cubs and Scouts. You do not even need to have your own children. Maybe you were a former Scout or Guide and have finished your Apprenticeship or Uni, or perhaps you are retired or a primary school teacher in your day job. Often a Leader will move through the group too acquiring new skills and new opportunites as they progress.

No prior Scouting or Girl Guiding skills are especially required. You would be joining an established team and all training and support will be given.

Favourite Cake:  We can and do accommodate all dietry requirements. You don’t have to be a cake-eater but on camp it helps!
