The Programme Team

The District Programme Team helps every section in the District run a safe, enjoyable and high-quality programme. To help do this, they bring Section Team volunteers together with activity experts. 

Tasks for the whole team

• Help Sections across the District work together. 

Allocated tasks

Help Section Teams run high-quality programmes  

• Support all Sections to deliver projects where young people can have a positive impact in the community.
• Help volunteers with any programme changes, such as new badges and activities, to help young people achieve Top Awards.
• Encourage international trips and activities. 
• Support volunteers to include nights away in their Section’s programme. 
• Help volunteers gain their Nights Away Permits. 
• Organise events for the District when Section Teams decide they’re needed.
• Keep an eye out for any learning that’ll help Section Teams deliver a fantastic programme. The Volunteering Development Team can then give volunteers opportunities to develop and learn new skills. 

Facilitate programme networking opportunities 

• Encourage Section Teams to share good practice across the District by creating opportunities to network. 

Help Section Teams access expert advice and support 

Make sure: 

• There are skilled people to support Sections’ programmes (in areas that volunteers may not be experts in themselves).   
• Sections can access adventurous activities, either through permit holders or external providers.
