The Event Support Team provides logistical and administrative support in the running of activities and events for the District.
The Unit’s focus is to respond to requests for practical support and resources related to the life-enriching experiences we run for our youth membership in the Widnes, Runcorn, Frodsham and surrounding villages. This could be anything from the planning stages right through to event break down when it’s all over – and most things in between!
Services include:
Event Management
- Promotion and Marketing of the event
- Managing responses
- Sending out confirmation information
Event People
- Site preparation, setup and takedown
- Admission control and administration
- Catering
- Marshalling
- General Activity support
- Car Park stewarding
- Pedestrian routing
- Site Services & Logistics
- Security
- Construction & Technical Advice
- Fundraising/Retail
- Plus more!
These services complement those of our other “specialist/technical skills based” Teams (Technology/IT, Hillwalking & Trekking, Target Sports) who are focussed on the delivery of technical content of events (Archery instructors, Rifle range Officers and Instructors, 3D printer instructors, etc.)
With many members being ex-leaders or Scouts themselves they have a wealth of knowledge and experience and are a great resource within the District.
Organisation
The Team is managed by the Event Support Team Leader who is responsible for delivery against the objectives and the routine running of the team.
