European Region Open Call

August 8, 2022

Zach Cater the Deputy UK International Commissioner has written to us with an opportunity that typically only occurs once every 3 years in the European Scout Region – Recruitment into the European Volunteer Teams.


The European Scout Region is currently recruiting for their Volunteer Pool – a group of volunteers, aged 18+, representing Scouting from all across Europe who will help deliver the 2022-2025 Regional Scout Plan. By joining the volunteer pool, individuals are not yet committing to anything but indicating their willingness to volunteer some time over the next triennium, 2022-2025. Starting in September 2022, members of the volunteer pool will be invited to apply to specific opportunities to support the region. Prior UK volunteers have made an excellent impact and it would be great for this to continue.




It would be fantastic if this could please be shared with your adult members, all adult members are eligible to apply, including yourselves. Should you have any social media channels within your Groups please do feel free to share these links on them, in addition to sharing this link to relevant individuals. Deadline: 2nd September.

If you or interested parties have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Zach Cater

British Scouting Overseas (BSO) are looking to recruit for our Social Media Team. We're looking for creative individuals who have a good grasp of using social media responsibly and to promote an organisation. Experience is desirable, but not essential as we are open to building a team who can support each other in growing together, as well as growing and enhancing our social media presence. If this sounds like a role or team that might be of interest to you, please feel free to reach out for an informal chat. About BSO BSO is a part of the UK Scout Association with headquarters in Gilwell Park, London. BSO members have access to the same resources, support and programme as UK based Scout groups. BSO exists to support British families living overseas in the provision of a UK Scouting programme to expatriate British children and to several British Overseas Territories. We aim to ensure that all our members have the opportunity to feel and experience high quality UK Scouting whilst providing support and advice to adult members no matter where they are in the world. BSO undertakes Scouting activities in a safe and secure environment with flexibility to adapt to both local customs and guidelines set out within The Scout Association's policies and rules. BSO operates 57 Scout Groups, 22 Explorer Units and 3 Scout Networks, with an impressive 2,997 young people supported by 936 adult volunteer leaders across 30 countries around the world. Whilst most adult volunteer members are delivering programme activities with our young people, many volunteers are also based in the UK offering support, training, mentoring, governance and resources in a variety of different roles from trustee to marketing and event support to skills assessors. BSO is fully inclusive and open to all who share our fundamental values. BSO exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
