Volunteer recruiting

Our imaginative programs help youth discover self-confidence, teamwork and leadership skills, while developing a caring attitude and respect for the environment, their communities, and their world.

Who provides this dynamic program?  It takes a team of dedicated and caring volunteers to make adventures come alive for our youth.

We need parents and other dedicated adults to help offer adventure and education for young people.  If you can commit 12-14 hours per month, and are willing to help your community and learn new skills, you can be a leader!

PHILOSOPHY

We base Scouting’s Volunteer Recruitment and Development Strategy on the principle that the delivery of great programs to youth depends on:

1. finding adults who have the aptitude and willingness, then

2. developing their competence.

Recruitment means ensuring a commitment to Scouting’s Mission and Principles, matching jobs to people with the necessary attitudes and skills, providing clear expectations about the job, and being realistic about the time commitment.

Development means enabling people in flexible ways. It recognizes their availability to access development opportunities, the skills they possess and the need to be competent in core skills quickly. Our approaches include on-the-job development and self-study through an orientation period.

Support opportunities are designed to meet the skills and knowledge needs of adult volunteers. In addition to informal events, workshops or courses and evaluations, adult volunteers can acquire the skills and knowledge they need through working in groups, coaching and mentoring, and self-study. Self-development in Scouting often goes beyond the specific needs of the original job.

Recognition through awards or expressions of appreciation, further challenges, or reassignment completes the volunteer cycle for the year.
