Interested in becoming a Young Spokesperson?
When the media talk about Scouting, most people imagine knots and ‘ging-gang-goolie’. But this isn’t what Scouting is all about and that’s why Scouts need Young Spokespeople. Young Spokespeople are often called upon to speak to the media, so that we can get our point across that it’s not just all middle aged men sat around campfires, but young people having a really good time doing quite modern activities. In East Lancashire, we don’t have all that many young spokespeople, so we are looking to get more onboard so that we can spread the word about all the good that Scouting does and try to get more people to join the ever growing number of Scouts.
There are so many opportunities that arise through being a Young Spokesperson. We sometimes need you to give us some information from an event you attended with your scout group, sometimes need you to go onto the radio and talk about upcoming events and you even sometimes get the chance to go to the political party conferences if that interested you.
Being a Young Spokesperson allows you to give something back to Scouting whilst still making a difference.
If you are interested, get in touch with our Media Development Manager, Ed Burney-Cummings ( ed@eastlancashirescouts.org.uk )
