Vacancies in Gloucestershire Scouts
Scouting offers young people the chance to have fun, learn new things and to develop new friendships. It provides exciting activities and games and opportunities to gain badges and awards. Through Scouting, young people can acquire the skills and knowledge that can be used for the rest of their lives.
Being a volunteer in Scouting can be incredibly rewarding; it can also enhance your CV and provide charity trustee experience.
If you would like to get involved in Scouting in any capacity – working with young people, managing adult volunteers or providing administrative support – please contact Louise Little, County Administrator at: . You will then be put in touch with the relevant adults in your local area.

So go on, jump in and remember, not all superheroes wear capes!!
We are looking for a new District Commissioner, or District Commissioner Team in two of our Districts:
Scouting relies on volunteers and we are seeking a volunteer manager or a team of volunteer managers, with energy and enthusiasm to lead them in the role of District Commissioner or District Commissioner Team.
The District Commissioner or District Commissioner Team will be the area managers who lead the District Team along with the District Youth Commissioner in supporting the local Scout Groups so that the young people get the best quality scouting they can. We recognise that this role will suit either an individual or a role share with a team of 2 or 3 people.
We’re looking for enthusiastic and keen individuals to take on this exciting role of District Commissioner or District Commissioner Team. You’ll be responsible for inspiring, leading, and supporting the development of all members of the District. You’ll be working closely with our County leadership team and your own leadership team whilst being a key person in the growth of Scouting in Cotswold Vale or Stroud & Tetbury.
Could this be you or do you know someone who has the ability to motivate others? Do you know someone who you think would make a great DC or work well as part of a Team?
There is no requirement to be a current member of Scouting.
What’s in it for you?
You will know that you are making a difference to the young people and the adults within the District. Scouting is flexible and this role is open to role share within a small team. The DC or DC Team will be working with an existing team of adults including our District Youth Commissioners to ensure every young person and adult has what they need to be confident in what they do. You will have access to training relevant to the role and will have an induction to ensure you get the very best start in the role. The skills that you will use as a District Commissioner, such as Leadership, can enhance your CV and can be a great way to demonstrate to prospective employers that you have additional skills.
