BVC Exec Elections
The Branch Venturer Council is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Venturer to join the 2025 BVC Executive team as our Secretary.
The BVC Exec is a small team of Venturers who lead the BVC to support and represent local Venturer Units. The BVC meets each month to bring together Unit Representatives from across the ACT to provide updates, share information, plan events, and gather the views of Venturers on the topics that impact them.
The BVC Secretary is responsible for taking minutes during meetings, sending out monthly emails to Venturers, and making sure our records are up to date.
The BVC currently meets on Wednesdays, though the meeting dates for 2025 will be based on the best availability of the new Exec.
Being a BVC Exec is a great opportunity to develop your leadership skills, make new friends, and play an important role in improving Venturing locally.
Prior experience on the BVC is not a requirement - what we are looking for are Venturers who are enthusiastic, motivated, and passionate.
Elections will take place at the February BVC meeting.
If you’re looking for a new challenge in 2025, apply to be the BVC Secretary. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the roles contact jay.reid@scoutsact.com.au.
