Summary
The main role of the County Youth Lead is to champion Youth Shaped Scouting across the County, leasing with other Youth Leads and District and Group teams.Detailed description
As part of the County Leadership Team, the County Youth Lead makes sure that Scouts is shaped by young people aged 4 – 25. They champion Youth Voice, making sure young people’s ideas and decisions help guide the future of Scouting locally.
This role is held by someone aged 18 – 25 and is a key leadership position in the County. No special qualifications are needed beyond experience in Scouting, passion for youth-led change, and a willingness to make things happen. The views and lived experience of young people are exactly what make this role so important.
The County Youth Lead works closely with adult volunteers to embed a culture where youth involvement is the norm – not the exception. They help create opportunities for young people to take the lead, give feedback, and shape programmes and events across the County.
They also support District Youth Leads in their County – bringing them together, sharing ideas, and helping them build confidence as local leaders.
As a member of the County Trustee Board and Leadership Team, the Youth Lead helps influence decisions and hold the County to account for delivering youth-shaped Scouting. They are supported in the role and have opportunities to develop their own skills and leadership.
