Girlguiding Kintyre ask for adult volunteers
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 3:08 pmThe Rainbows, Brownies and Guides of Campbeltown are in need of new adult leaders and unit helpers. We currently have 6 units in Campbeltown and two of these urgently require new leaders.
Adult Leaders and unit helpers are aged over 18 and are the volunteers that make Guiding happen and the units wouldn't exist without them. Leaders must be female but male volunteers can become unit helpers or take on support roles such as treasurer (which we also need) or help with fundraising.
There is a lot to gain from guiding for both the adult members and the girls. Units run once a week and the programme is tailored to the age range of the girls. Like any organisation we need adults so that the units can stay open and guiding can carry on into the future. Guiding can be challenging but it can also be very rewarding. All of the adults in guiding are volunteers and give up their free time to benefit the local girls.
If you are a young woman who is under 18 (but over 14) and would like to come and help and gain experience working with children then you can become a Young Leader
Training for adults and young leaders is 'on the job' and modular in form. Once all modules of the Adult Leadership Qualification are completed the adult is a fully qualified Leader for whatever section (Rainbows, Brownies etc) she works with.
There is going to be a big recruitment drive over the next few weeks so watch out for our posters and cards.
If you would be interested in joining please PM and I'll be happy to answer any questions (with no obligation). We can also be found at:
