Cambridgeshire Scouts is looking to appoint a new District Lead Volunteer for Newmarket District in early 2027 to facilitate a phased handover before the current incumbent stands down in the Autumn.
Newmarket Scout District is an exciting and thriving Scout District within Cambridgeshire. The District covers the town of Newmarket and the surrounding communities such as Burwell, Exning, Linton, Moulton and Soham.
The District is in a strong position, with a newly formed Activities Team helping to build stronger connections across Scouting and creating a real sense of togetherness. This provides a fantastic opportunity for the new District Lead Volunteer to build on that momentum, support and inspire volunteers, and help even more adults and young people find their “Place to Belong” in Scouting.
Applications are invited for this exciting opportunity to lead a successful and growing District, work alongside talented and committed volunteers, and help shape the future of Scouting for hundreds of young people across the District.
Are you interested or do you know someone who could be your next District Lead Volunteer?
