Beaver Scout Leader, Cub Scout Leader or Scout Leader 

 The Section Leader manages and leads the operation of the Section, in particular, the planning and safe delivery of the Balanced Programme with the help of assistants, including Assistant Section Leaders, Section Assistants and Young Leaders. 

The role will suit someone with strong leadership, communication and organisational skills, who holds the Scout values of integrity, respect, care and belief. The ability to work as part of a team and to motivate others is also important. 

This requires a weekly commitment during term time, occasional commitment during the week for planning meetings and attend the Executive Committee (meets 4 times a year) and occasionally at weekends for events like camps. See the official role description below.

Beaver Scout Section Assistant, Cub Scout Section Assistant or Scout Section Assistant 

Section Assistants support the Section Leader and work with other Section Assistants and Young Leaders to deliver the programme. They may take responsibility for certain aspects of the organisation like managing badges or leading on specific skills like fire lighting or navigation. 

The role will suit someone with strong communication and organisational skills who enjoys working as part of a team. 

Although this does not require a weekly commitment, Section Assistants are expected to attend meetings most weeks during term time and help out at events like camps. If there are enough Section Assistants, then a rota can be arranged to ease the level of commitment required.

 Most Sections would like more Section Assistants. Most Section Assistants join the same Section as their child because it makes logistics easier, however, it is by no means a hard and fast rule.
