The Scouting Support Team (SSOs) works alongside volunteers across Wales to help you deliver safe, high-quality Scouting. We offer clear, practical support with programme, volunteer recruitment and retention, team development and understanding your role. We also deliver inductions for key line managers to ensure everyone feels confident from the start. Alongside this, we build partnerships that strengthen Scouting and help make it more welcoming and accessible. Working closely with the various Wales teams from program to youth, we provide joined-up guidance when you need it. If you’d like support, please get in touch.
