Explorer elections

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Thinking in terms of 'youth shaped', this might be a good way to assign specific responsibilities to certain explorers or groups of explorers.
This is also a great way for explorers to get an insight into the way things are run in explorers and the types of things we could be doing, if someone took the lead on organising them.


Resources

An electronic device to play a powerpoint
A projector
A device to vote with each - eg smartphone
The powerpoint, detailling the roles available to explorers

Instructions

= First, begin by explaining the aim and success criteria for tonight's evening - to give them the opportunity to assist in planning our programme and learn valuable skills in the process - and as a bonus, some badges too!
= Play the powerpoint. It details each of the roles and the responsibilities associated with that role. It also links each role to a badge, detailing the criteria for achieving that badge (and the type of skill you can learn by getting it). The roles are:
- Patrol leader and assistant patrol leader - leadership badge
- Residential planner - Camper badge
- Fundraising leader - fundraiser badge
- Community Rep - Community Impact/Global Issues Badge
- Media Manager - Media and Marketing relations badge

The first role - Patrol leaders and APL, will be voted on (find a ballot system)
The other roles will be volunteers.

The powerpoint also reminds them of the criteria for achieving the Chief's and King's scout awards - this may guide each role on what activities they could actually do.

The gives a few examples of activities each role could start working on, for the rest of the evening.
