What is a Scout Active Support Unit (SASU)?
Scout Active Support allows adults to give their time to Scouting on a flexible basis. People can still be involved in Scouting without the full-time commitment of being a leader. It provides a resource for Mid Devon District to support the delivery of amazing activities and programmes for the benefit of all Sections across the District.
Scout Active Support is for anyone over the age of 18 years. It is a way for adults to volunteer time to Scouting in a flexible way that suits them. There is no requirement to have been involved in Scouting before joining. All that is required is a willingness to volunteer some time to support Scouting. It is therefore open to:
