We Need You to Lead Lapwing Lodge Outdoor Centre

Posted on 20 January 2025

Are you a natural leader with a passion for making a difference? Do you thrive on inspiring others and driving positive change? Lapwing Lodge Outdoor Centre, the jewel of West Region Scouts, is looking for a new Chair of the Lapwing Lodge Management Committee (LLMC).
What You’ll Do
As Chair, you’ll guide the LLMC to ensure the smooth and effective running of this incredible outdoor centre. From overseeing governance to working closely with staff, volunteers, and stakeholders, you’ll make sure Lapwing Lodge continues to be a hub of adventure, learning, and community.
You’ll:
• Lead strategic planning and decision-making for the Centre’s long-term success.
• Foster strong relationships with the Centre Manager, volunteers, and the Regional Trustee Board.
• Represent Lapwing Lodge externally, showcasing its impact and vision.
• Oversee governance, risk management, and financial health.
• Ensure the LLMC team thrives and delivers on its responsibilities.

• Leads with passion: You care deeply about empowering young people and the outdoors.
• Communicates with impact: From chairing meetings to representing the Centre, you’re confident, tactful, and diplomatic.
• Thinks strategically: You can see the bigger picture and keep the Centre moving forward.
• Builds relationships: Networking, collaboration, and motivating others are second nature to you.
• Knows governance: You understand charity management and financial accountability.
Experience in Scouting or the voluntary sector is a bonus, but not essential.
