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?

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.
