ADC Adult Entertainment Vacancy

If you are the type of person that enjoys organising Scout social events for adults, then this may be the job for you!

What we want is someone that has a bit of time to plan and arrange a variety of events and activities for the over 18's to take part in. It could be anything from pub quizzes to bingo, from horse riding to hiking, and from Kayaking to Water Zorbing. Basically, anything that's fun and that a group of adults can take part in, could be on the menu.

If you have the time and fancy giving it a go, please drop the D.C. an email to let him know. We spend so much time with our Sections... it's about time we got some fun out of it for ourselves and not just the kids.
