UK Election 2019 & Scouting Staying Politically Impartial
Be Aware!!
The Scout Movement is not connected with any political body and The Scout Association wishes to remind us all that the law says charities must be, and be seen to be, independent from all party politics. Leaders should be very careful, for example, if contacted by any election candidates asking for visits, photographs or support for their campaign. When representing Scouts or wearing your uniform in the lead up to the General Election on 12 December, please make sure that you aren’t seen supporting or criticising any specific political party
There’s useful guidance from The Charity Commission (particularly the charities, elections and referendums section), as well as the rules we have in our own Scouting POR Rule 14.1 & 14.2
Sound advice!
Are YOU up for an Exciting Scouting Challenge?
Soon needed.....new DC for York Ebor
We are now searching for a new District Commissioner for York Ebor District FROM APRIL 2020. The largest District in the Scouting County, in terms of membership, York Ebor is a successful and vibrant District, with some 13 Scout Groups, 4 Explorer Scout Units and a Young Leader Unit.
At this time we would like to thank Kathryn Dunn, our current District Commissioner, for all she has done and is still doing for York Ebor District. However, due to work commitments she needs to stands down from the role in April next year. She has therefore given us plenty of time to find her successor and hopefully allow for a substanstial handover period. So, are you up for the challenge?
The District Commissioner is a uniformed, management role and we need someone who can provide leadership, motivation and guidance to our other adult volunteers. You don’t need any prior experience of Scouting to apply for this role and we welcome applications from people of any age. The role can also be undertaken individually or as a job-share as part of a District Commissioner Team.
The District Commissioner Vacancy Pack (click HERE) provides invaluable advice on this rewarding volunteer role and a link to the application form.
Well.....is this for you?
