We are looking to recruit one Expedition Leader and three Assistant Leaders to take Scouts and Explorers to the Swiss National Jamboree in 2021. We are looking for a diverse and dynamic team who’ll make this an unforgettable experience for the young people attending.
When and where exactly is the Jamboree?
The Jamboree is being held in the Obergoms valley right in the heart of Switzerland. The Jamboree will take place from Saturday 24th July until Saturday August 07th. Following the Jamboree, we envision the team spending two days rest and relaxation in an area of Switzerland or a neighbouring country before returning to the United Kingdom.
What are we looking for the team to do?
We are looking for the leaders to recruit and train a group of Scouts and Explorers who’ll represent West Lancs County at the Jamboree. We expect the team to put together a budget, plan all logistics to get the team to the Jamboree and back. Following the trip, we expect the team to write a report and present their experience to the county.
How much time commitment will this trip be?
Leaders will be expected to give up a number of evenings to meet together to plan this trip and to complete the report after the trip. They will also be expected to plan and deliver training weekends before the Jamboree and also support young people in fundraising in this trip. This trip will require commitment from the leadership team, but it’ll certainly be worth it!
Who can apply for this leadership positions?
Any member of West Lancashire Scouts who is 18 or above by the 31st August 2020 is eligible to apply as a leader for this trip.
