Join Our Team: Group Chair, BSO Lone Scout Group

July 10, 2024

Small team. Big rewards

Lone Scouting, whilst still in its infancy, is a real area for potential growth within BSO. We are searching for a new Chair for the group of Lone Scout Trustees.


Scouting relies on strong leadership. If you are a good communicator, can influence and support other Trustees to use their unique skills and have a keen interest to see Scouting grow in areas where BSO is not present, you would be an ideal Chair Person for BSO Lone Scouts.


You will use your strong communication skills to help a team of committed adult volunteers, who make up the Trustees, arrive at a good decision that will benefit young people. Able to work as part of a team, you will also contribute to the direction and development of the Lone Scouts.


An understanding of Scouting in BSO is preferable. What is most important is your own skills and experience as well as empathy with our mission and values. We will provide all appropriate training and ongoing support.

Lone Scouts is part of British Scouting Overseas, offering fun, friendship and skills for life.

Interested?

Gilwell Reunion 4th to 6th September 2026 This year will be the 100th Gilwell Reuion and BSO are looking for an individual or mall team to showcase our work and opportunities within the International Tent. If you can create a fun, engaging and interactive stand we would like to hear from you! You will need to be free to attend the event from 4th to 6th Sept 26 at Gilwell Park, London and we will ask others attending to help deliver the stand over the weekend so you get chance to see everything else on offer.

We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries. If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards. This is what our young people have to say from previous events; I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because… “It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” - Morgan, Paris Explorers “I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts “It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers “It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts “I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers “You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers “It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts “It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;
