ADULT VOLUNTEERS

Come along and help local children develop skills for life. If you would like more information on joining please use our contact form or email: mauro.lovecchio@britishscoutingoverseas.org.uk.

You can decide how much or little time you wish to give and which age range you work with. There are four age ranges (sections) in a Scout Group:

Squirrel Scouts (4 – 6 years)

Beaver Scouts (6 – 8 years)

Cub Scouts (8 – 10.5 years)

Scouts (10.5 – 14 years)

Explorer Scouts (14 – 18 years)

As part of a leadership team, you will help plan, organise and deliver a balanced programme of activities, events and experiences, based around three main themes: outdoor and adventure, skills and world. In each section, a range of badges and awards support all aspects of Scouting, including leadership, teamwork and personal development.

We also need adults to provide admin support and we have an active Scout Active Support Unit to help with events.

Criminal Records Check Process

Every adult over the age of 18 involved in Scouting must have criminal record checks carried out, and renewed, every 5 years. These checks must be from Montenegro, and also from the UK if one has lived there past one’s 10th birthday. These checks ensure that those involved with children in the group are suitable to do so.

The process is laid out below.

All Applicants

You will need to fill in the Adult Information form. The completed form should be emailed to Mauro.Lovecchio@britishscoutingoverseas.org.uk.

Adult Information Form (Download)

The information from this form will be transferred to the UK Scout HQ system. All information stored will be managed in line with Data Protection Legislation. This form includes the need to ask for two referees that you have known for 5 years or more to verify you are suitable to work with children.

If You Have Lived in the UK

If you have lived in the UK at any time since you were 10 years old, you will need to complete a UK Criminal Check form online.

In order to complete the CRB form we will need to see a number of documents from you to verify your ID. (Evidence of these documents will also need to be provided.)

If you have lived in the UK, we will ALSO need you to go to a local Court House and get a Montenegrin criminal record check done (see details below). Any costs will be refunded by the group, so please ask for, and keep, the receipt.

If You Have Not Lived in the UK

If you have not lived in the UK, then you simply need to go with your passport and request:

A Montenegrin Criminal Record Check (“Uvjerenje o nekaznjavanju”)

This can be done by taking your passport to any Court House office and asking for a criminal record check for working with children. They will then process this and either send it to you or ask you to pick it up.

Please send the final record check to Mauro.Lovecchio@britishscoutingoverseas.org.uk
