Hinchingbrooke District Young Leaders Scheme

Young Leaders are volunteers aged 14 to 18 and choose to spend most, or all, of their time as part of a leadership team working with Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. It’s a fun way to share skills, develop new ones and to inspire younger members by being a great role model.

Anyone in this age group that is volunteering with the Squirrel, Beaver, Cub or Scout sections must be registered as a member of an Explorer Scout Unit. You can choose between the following 3 options:

• Volunteer as part of a section leadership team and become a member of the local District Explorer Scout (Young Leader) Unit
• Volunteer as part of a section leadership team and become a member of the local District Explorer Scout Unit, taking part in the weekly activities of that Unit as well as working with one of the younger sections.
• Volunteer as a non-member for a set period of time if you are working towards your Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards or King’s Guide Award (please note that whilst the D of E scheme has reduced the age requirement it is still currently a minimum of 14 to be able to volunteer in scouting)

1st Little Paxton Scout Group is teaming up with the district Explorer Scout Units to provide Young leaders with the training and skills they need to achieve the Young Leader Award and to develop their skills for now and their future.
