The Team
Consists of County and District Chaplains who may be either clerical or lay. Many are active Scouters who place a high value on spiritual and religious development.
The team is ecumenical and provides support to most Christian denominations and other faith communities.

The team exists to :

• Help all those in Scouting with their spiritual and religious development.
• Help the Christian church and other faith groups to support sponsored Scout Groups
• Help other youth groups with similar opportunities to liaise with Scouting

How does the team do these things?

• By holding bi-monthly meetings to discuss issues relevant to spiritual and religious development and to plan to support leaders and commissioners in their work
• By supporting the County Adult Training Unit with relevant and useful materials
• By providing materials and resources to help leaders deliver the religious and spiritual dimensions of Scouting By assisting the County Commissioner and his / her assistants
• By liaising between the sponsoring authority and Scout Group in church sponsored Groups
