Volunteer role descriptions

In order to explain how your group or District works to new members and parents - and also to recruit new volunteers - it's useful to have information to give them, including what roles people take on and what these roles involve. It may seem straightforward to the person who's been your Membership Secretary for the last five years, but when they want to hand the role on, everyone else may view it with anxiety and feel that they could never do such a good job! 

Collected here are examples of volunteer role descriptions used by Woodcraft Folk Districts who've kindly volunteered the ones they use. These are appendices to Section G of the Volunteer Toolkit produced by Woodcraft Folk Scotland (contact Fleur for copies).
