As we all appreciate, volunteering to work with young guides and scouts at an event such as the Boree Regatta, is a great privilege and comes with associated responsibility for the safety and well-being of everyone.
It is requirement that all adults (18 years or older), including volunteers, parents and service providers, must have a current NSW Working With Children Check (WWCC). As a volunteer, there is no cost to obtain a WWCC.
JOTA volunteers are also required to apply to Scouts NSW (as the lead organisation at the Boree Regatta), to become an adult helper. Once completed, you will receive a member number, which allows you to register to attend the Boree Regatta. There is no cost associated with becoming an adult helper.
To commence your volunteer journey as part of the JOTA team, please complete the following the JOTA Volunteer Form, and you will receive an information sheet to guide you through the process.
