The Kyle and Carrick Scout District covers an area of approximately 422 square miles from Ballantrae in the south to Dundonald in the north. We have 14 Groups across the District and 4 active Explorer Scout Units providing Scouting to over 900 young people within Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers. We are proud to be part of the largest co-educational youth movement in the UK believing in Scouting for All. We are run entirely by volunteers who give up their own time to help us. At present we are seeking to appoint a Treasurer to the District Executive Committee, whose key responsibility is to manage the finances of the District. Working closely with the District Chairman, the Treasurer will help with the effective administration of the District and provide sound financial support and advice to the District Committee. The Treasurer, ideally, should be someone with financial skills or want to further develop their skills in this area. In addition to managing the Districts finances, the Treasurer will be expected to attend around 5 Committee meetings each year - including the Annual General Meeting. The role is covered by Scout Trustee Indemnity insurance and expenses will be paid if required.

North Angus & District Scouts require a wide range of volunteer roles - from casual helpers to leaders, trainers, trustees and more – we have a role for everyone. We also offer flexible volunteering roles too, so we can fit around you and the time that you want to give to Scouting. We have 8 groups in North Angus, but 2 are more desperate for help. These are our Letham and Edzell Groups. What do volunteers do? Week by week, our volunteers empower thousands of young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too. Today, there are nearly 60,000 young people on waiting lists to join us in the UK. We’re more relevant and more needed than ever, but it’s not always easy to keep up with the demand. That’s where you come in You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about minibus drivers and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family. Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven-year-olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great. We provide the training. All of our adult volunteers receive full induction and ongoing training and support. Our training has been recognised with a National Training Award by UK Skills and over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life. As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is. To find out more, please contact Ian Fleming, District Commissioner, North Angus District Scout Council on dc@northangus.onmicrosoft.com
