Purpose
The District Volunteering Development Team makes sure all volunteers in their District have a positive and enjoyable
volunteering experience. They make it easy for people to join and learn new skills.
Who’s in the team

  • Volunteering Development Team Leaders
  • Volunteering Development Team Members
    Other volunteers are automatically members of this team because of their roles in Scouts:
  • Team Leaders of any District Volunteering Development Team sub-teams. For example, Awards and Recognition
    Team.
    Tasks for the whole team
    Make sure teams across the District: Support all District teams to be aware of, and reflect on, Our Volunteering
    Culture.
    Allocated tasks
    Attract and welcome new volunteers to District and Group teams:
  • Use Scouts branded resources to attract new volunteers and show the diversity of Scout volunteers and young
    members.
  • Reply quickly and positively to possible new volunteers.
  • Make sure volunteers are welcomed easily and smoothly, including supporting volunteers to share any reasonable
    adjustments or any other needs they may have, such as faith-based needs.
  • Hold inductions with Group Lead Volunteers and other Group and District Leadership Team Members.
    Make sure volunteers are well supported:
  • Support all District teams (including Group Lead Volunteers) to follow our approach to equity, diversity and
    inclusion, safer volunteer recruitment, joining, reviews, and processes for leaving Scouts.
  • Help and encourage Team Leaders (including Group Lead Volunteers) to have regular reviews with volunteers in
    their teams.
    Help volunteers with learning:
  • Help volunteers and Young Leaders find and engage in opportunities for learning and development.
  • Coordinate Scouts learning that needs to be delivered by an accredited Trainer – including organising and
    supporting the Trainers.
  • Use learning delivery materials developed by Scouts (such as training sessions, workshops, activities and so on),
    and make changes (when necessary) so the environment and activities are accessible for everyone.
  • Help volunteers connect across the District and beyond to learn, share best practices and overcome shared
    challenges.
  • Set up learning opportunities with external organisations (if relevant and helpful).
  • Support and recognise volunteers for their prior learning and experiences, and credit this in their records.
  • Learn from people in other Volunteering Development Teams.
