Unit Leaders

Join our friendly team at Girlguiding Fleet Division to become part of the UK's leading charity for girls and young women. We are looking for leaders to help run our Rainbow (girls aged 4-7), Brownie (girls aged 7-10), Guide (girls aged 10-14) and Ranger (girls aged 14-18) units. We go on adventures, play games, learn new skills, and challenge ourselves. We develop our confidence, learn to lead, build friendships and have lots of fun!

We are looking for new volunteers to join our Rainbow, Brownie, Guide and Ranger units across Fleet on most nights of the week and on Saturday mornings too.

Leaders have an active role in planning and running the unit. The tasks are shared out among the whole leadership team and new leaders would be supported on a leadership training programme. Tasks vary unit to unit but could include:

• planning and running activities using the Girlguiding programme
• managing members' information
• contacting parents
• using unit funds responsibly
• taking young members on trips and camps
• organising fundraising events

These tasks are shared out so no one person would be doing all of these things but if a volunteer has an interest in taking on particular tasks, we can certainly steer things in that direction. People usually find their niche of what they especially enjoy! 

Skills

Patience and a sense of humour!

Plus, enthusiasm and willingness to learn new skills.

An induction and full training will be given.
