What is Scout Fellowship?
It is a group of
adults who have one thing in common -
a wish to support Scouting. A Scout Fellowship welcomes
men and women of all ages, interests and backgrounds.
There is no need to have been involved in Scouting or Guiding
before, all that is required is a willingness to give some of your
time to Scouting. In return you will make friends and be able
to join with others doing whatever you decide.
A Scout Fellowship has its own social and activity programme.
The aim of the
Scout Fellowship is to "Provide Active Support",
with the emphasis being very much on supporting the youth
programme
in an active manner, at all levels of the Association
from the local Scout Group to National level.
What is Active
Support?
Active Support
encompasses the talents of the Scout Fellowship
of all ages and abilities, whether it is physical, mental, geared
to
a particular technical skill or general support.
It could be as a badge examiner, a Training Adviser to new
leaders, catering for courses, running pioneering courses,
assisting with hill walking, rock climbing, etc.
We all have something to offer as far as supporting Scouting
is concerned whatever our age or ability.
In fact, active
support means just about anything!
The Scout
Fellowship is a large part of the 'backbone' of the
Scout Movement - supporting the young people and voluntary
leaders wherever help is required.
The key to our success is our flexibility - we're here to help.
