The following leaders are required for Ogmore Down Cub Scout Group (boys and girls aged from 8 to 10½ years) which meets Monday evenings from 6.30 pm to 7.45 pm in the Scout Hall, St. Brides Major; if you are unable to take on one of these positions, do you know someone else who may be interested?  If you would like to help run the group, perhaps to prepare refreshments or assist with activities, your contribution would be welcomed and much appreciated. 

Cub Scout Leader – This is the hands-on scouting leadership role that people usually think of when they think of Scouts. It is a position that requires about an hour and a half time with the children a week with some preparation time around this. There is a structured training programme in place that new adults to scouting are supported with and there is also a wealth or resources to support the programme itself which is not dissimilar to a school curriculum that focuses on numerous areas of child development.

Group Scout Leader – This position is not directly associated with the children in scouting at all. It is almost a ‘branch manager’ type position that suits people that are comfortable managing other adults and have organisational skills. The general role includes chairing meetings, ensuring effective communication within the group and managing the scout groups’ relationship with the wider community.
