Mountain Awareness Course
The CMAT team have arranged a Mountain Awareness Course for those who have experience in hill walking and wish to extend their experience to gain a Scouting Permit to lead groups into the hills. Explorer Scouts with the same experience who aspire to gaining a Scout Permit are also welcome to apply.Details and an application form are available on the CMAT Activities page.
New Recruitment Campaign - Press Article
The EADT has published an on-line article about leader recruitment and waiting lists - may be in the paper tomorrow (Friday). You can catch the article here - EADT - Suffolk Scouts Recruitment. Grundisburgh Scout Group Annual Duck Race features in the photo..Adventurous Activity First Aid Training
It also fulfils the first aid requirements for any adult holding a Scouting appointment. Attendance on both days is mandatory. The course will be delivered at Bradfield Park Scout Campsite and will be based in the Constable Cabin. Full details available on the CMAT & Water activites programme pages.
New Volunteer Recruitment Campaign
Suffolk Scouts have joined forces with Community Action Suffolk (CAS) to recruit more volunteers for local Scouting. Despite record numbers of adults volunteering in Suffolk we still have nearly 500 young people on our Waiting Lists across the County
This will be a co-ordinated approach to recruiting volunteers via the volunteersuffolk.org.uk website and linked to our own suffolkscouts.org.uk website. It will also include some novel approaches to Employer Supported Volunteering being promoted by CAS.
Headlined “You don’t have to be Bear Grylls to volunteer with Suffolk Scouts” it aims to recruit across all roles in Scouting - Leaders, Supporters and Skills Instructors etc. It will highlight not only the benefits of Scouting to our young people but also what it means for the volunteer.
The joint enterprise will be launched during Suffolk Action Week taking place from Monday 30th September to Sunday 6th October. Suffolk Scouts will be alongside CAS at events throughout the week. Look out for events near you.
