Are you a strategic, values-driven leader with a passion for outdoor learning?

Do you believe in the power of adventure to inspire, develop, and empower young people?

Scouts Scotland is seeking a dynamic Head of Scout Adventures to lead the strategic direction, development, and delivery of our three National Scout Adventure Centres in Fife, Perthshire, and Argyll. These centres are vital to our mission — offering transformative outdoor experiences to Scouts, schools, and youth groups across Scotland.

As a key member of our Executive Leadership Team, you will help shape the future of outdoor learning in Scotland, inspire a high-performing team, and ensure our centres remain safe, inclusive, and financially sustainable. You’ll work closely with centre staff, volunteers, and national partners to grow our impact and embed excellence in all that we do.

We’re looking for someone with significant leadership experience in the outdoor learning or adventure sector, a strong understanding of non-formal education, and a track record of delivering strategic and operational success.

Help us grow adventure, support young people to gain skills for life, and make a lasting difference in communities across Scotland.
