Youth Mentoring

We're on the search for Scouts who are enthusiastic about leadership and can help make bSUMMIT an adventure like no other.

What is Youth Mentoring?

Youth Mentors are Scouts who have previously completed the Course and returned to bSUMMIT in order to help deliver an enjoyable and educational experience for the Scouts attending by guiding and training a Patrol.

​

Youth Mentoring is fun and a great way to continue to develop your leadership skills as you lead by example and collaborate closely with Leader Mentors and other Youth Mentors.

​

"Youth Mentoring was a great experience that showed all of us how to be leaders in many different ways. It was fun being part of an amazing team that worked together to help the Scouts get the most out of bSUMMIT."

- Former Youth Mentor, October 2023

What do Youth Mentors do?

Youth Mentors are allocated to a Patrol of up to eight Scouts. Working together with the Leader Mentors, they guide the Patrol and provide mentoring and support to the Scouts, leading them through the Course and its activities. On multiple occasions during bSUMMIT, Youth Mentors plan and run combined activities for all Patrols.

​

The Youth Mentor Team is a tight-knit group and is managed by the Youth Mentor Co-ordinators. The bSUMMIT Leaders and Venturers work hard to create a positive culture, a unified group, and a strong team identity to be proud of.
