Occasional helper

• As defined by the Section Leader. This could be anything that the Sections Leadership Team agrees with the Occasional Helper, for example:
• They may have unsupervised access to young people. For instance, a parent who drives the minibus or their own vehicle to take children to activities away from the regular meeting place organised by the section leaders.
• Parents who are volunteering on a section’s parent rota more than once every month. (people help out more than once a month should take on a Sectional Assistant role)

  For example, a parent who is joining the unit in their annual camp, or supervising a group on a night hike.
• Handling money, for example, collecting subs or camp fees for the unit
