Allocated tasks
Help Section Teams run high-quality programmes
- Help volunteers with any programme changes, such as new badges and activities, to help young people achieve Top Awards.

- Support volunteers to include nights away in their Section’s programme.
- Help volunteers gain their Nights Away Permits.
- Organise events for the District when Section Teams decide they’re needed.
- Keep an eye out for any learning that’ll help Section Teams deliver a fantastic programme. The Volunteering Development Team can then give volunteers opportunities to develop and learn new skills.
