Interesting about this job
Scouting the Jutters runs entirely on volunteers, there are no paid staff. So by volunteering at The Jutters, you are the driving force behind the association and therefore very valuable.
With our scouting group, you can count on:
- Friends for life;
- Weekly active and challenging work;
- Earn credits;
- Finite fun, sociability and appreciation;
- Competency-based work on your personal development (Scouting Academy);
- Earn qualifications;
Job tasks and duties
Depending on the age group (called speltakken), you have a diverse range of tasks.
Up to and including the Scouts age group, you are a "leader". With the Explorers, you are "guiding". You actively guide and think along, but the group itself is responsible for the content and execution of the programme.
You can work as a leader in the following branches:
- the Beavers - 5-7 yrs on Saturdays.
- The Cubs - 7-11 years old on Saturdays .
- the Scouts - 11-15 yrs on Saturdays.
- the Explorers - 15-18 yrs on Friday evening.
As a speltak leader, you should think about the following activities:
- Devising programmes as a team, tailored to the age group;
- Prepare the weekly meetings (called opkomsten);
- Leading and implementing the programme as a team on Saturday (or Friday evening in the case of the Explorers);
- Preparing and leading camps, ranging from a weekend to a week;
- Possibly a position within the branch such as team leader, treasurer or equipment manager;
Despite the above enumeration, there is a place for everyone's qualities in scouting.
Further, there are various group activities during the year. You can think of a New Year opening or NL Doet, for example. These are organised for the entire scouting group by the speltakleaders, among others.

- Cooperation comes naturally to you;
Qualities that further fit well with scouting are:
- Creativity;
- Responsibility;
- Love the outdoors;

Extra information
VOG. As a volunteer at The Jutters, you are required to submit a Certificate of Good Conduct. The expenses will be reimbursed by us for you. A VOG is a statement that shows that your behaviour in the past does not constitute an objection to performing a specific task or function.
A VOG is a statement that shows that your behaviour in the past does not constitute an objection to performing a specific task or function.
In addition to the weekly turnouts, there is a general members' meeting (called a group council) every eight weeks. Each speltak sends one or two delegates to the group council. In addition, the board attends. The group council makes the most important decisions within the scouting group.
Annually, we adopt the budget for the following year together. All parts within Scouting de Jutters get their own budget. Think of the branches, the board, material purchases or various odd jobs. Costs made during scouting activities can be claimed, so you do not have to pay them yourself. During group camps, a mileage allowance is sometimes possible.
