Overview of the role


The Northern Europe District comprises of 10 Scout Groups with a total membership of approximately 700 young people and 300 adults. (2022 Census). The groups in the District include:

  • 1st Amsterdam - Netherlands
  • 1st Brussels - Belgium
  • 1st Djursholm - Sweden

We are looking forward to the challenges that 2023 bring in growing the District and the opportunities to deliver first-class scouting to all our young people. Whilst most of the Groups are separated by some considerable distance, they have been increasingly working together over the last few years with district camps and other events. The District is at an exciting stage of its development and there is the opportunity to build on strong foundations laid by the outgoing District Commissioner.

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 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.
