How are jobs allocated?

In advance of the events we run ‘Job Shop’ where you can let us know your preference for what sort of jobs you’d prefer (particularly if you hold relevant permits). We’ll do our best to match people to preferences, but this isn’t always possible.

Job Shop will open in April and all Leaders/Young Leaders will be allocated their two jobs by the end of May. This will give you time to make appropriate plans with your team and let us know of any issues.

We have a dedicated team of helpers who help keep the cogs turning, but without your help we wouldn't be able to run all the activities and checkpoints throughout the weekend. We, and a few thousand Scouts and Guides would be very grateful if you could help.

To run the event effectively we need all leaders to help at a base on the Saturday and another job during the weekend. If all leaders volunteer to help, there should be surplus on each base allowing you to both help and have time off to explore other bases and maybe even meet your groups for lunch! Obviously, if a young person has specific needs or requires assistance then it is completely satisfactory to have a leader join them! If there are any questions, please email helpdesk@s-e.org.uk
