The Stores Team will help to maintain the equipment held at County Stores and help make it available to volunteers across the County via the booking system. Whilst the County Office will support the administration of the bookings, we are looking for volunteers to help with the collection and return of equipment and ensuring that any damage is repaired quickly. The team covers all the equipment held in stores including the County Climbing Wall, Discovery and trailers.
The Community Engagement Team will help to build relationships with other groups and charities in the County that can help to support Scouting in the County. The team will create and look after relationships that can help Oxfordshire Scouts grow and reach into our local communities. In recent years we have developed relationships with Multaka, NSPCC and SeeSaw. In all cases, the connection has provided learning opportunities and programme resources for Oxfordshire Scouts and we would like to build more of these connections to expand the support available to volunteers across the County. In addition to the work done in recent years we would also like to set up Community Projects that Groups and Units can access to help support Community Impact badges.

The County Growth Team will support the District Growth Teams to encourage growth of new Sections and Groups in the County. It will look for opportunities for new Groups in housing developments, as well as ensure our current Groups and Sections operate effectively. Through supporting the opening, closing and merging of Sections based on local demand we can make sure that Scouting in the County grows and meets the demand from local communities.
