Leader Role Descriptions
Scouts Victoria has many different roles for adults to support the delivery of the Scouting Program by our Youth Members.
On this page, we provide a copy of all available role descriptions with specific details of responsibilities and training requirements of senior and specialist positions within Scouts Victoria.
If you would like to volunteer as a leader at Scouts Victoria with your local scout group, please contact your Group Leader or alternatively visit use our "Find a Group" function in the top right corner of the website, to get in touch with your local Group Leader.
For Commissioner, Major Event and State roles, as vacancies become available, these are advertised in our weekly member newsletter, "Be Informed" which is sent each Tuesday morning to our membership. If you would like to apply for a role advertised, you should submit an application to the listed email address with the advertisement along including:
- Explanation of the role you are interested in, explaining why you feel you would be appropriate for the role.
- Details of your Scouting experience where relevant
- Details of any non-Scouting experience, such as other paid workplace, volunteer work or experience that you may have.
Applications are then shortlisted and referred to the team leader who is responsible for the role you are applying for. Applicants are invited for an interview with a recommendation made for appointment to the Chief Commissioner (via the Assistant Chief Commissioner - People & Culture).
