A team of volunteers work alongside our Scout groups to make sure everything runs smoothly and young people can experience the best possible programme. You can meet some of them on this page.

Harry Woodward
District Programme Lead (Squirrels)
Joining as a Beaver in 2014, I fell in love with the world of Scouting, and haven’t looked back since. I now get to work with our fantastic Squirrel Dreys and provide programme support for leaders, and organise District events and trips.
I enjoy seeing our youngest members explore the world around them, learn new skills, and make friends all while having fun.
My favourite activity in Scouting is a campfire and I love getting together to sing a few camp songs!

Oscar Heath
District Programme Lead (Cubs)
As the District Programme Lead for Cubs, I support Cub Scout leaders across High Peak in delivering high-quality, engaging programmes that help young people develop skills for life and find a place where they belong. I termly bring leaders together to share ideas, discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and develop new opportunities for young people.
Working alongside volunteers, I help coordinate and plan district events, support programme development, and create experiences that ensure every Cub enjoys a fun, challenging, inclusive, and rewarding Scouting journey.

Lizzie Potts
Young Leaders & Young Wardens Team Leader
Scouting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I first came to Gradbach as a young child and was always inspired by the Wardens who made every visit so special, so becoming a Warden myself was something I always hoped to do.
Alongside this, I’m proud to be the High Peak Young Leaders Team Lead, helping young people grow in confidence, develop leadership skills, and get the most out of their Scouting journey. It’s a privilege to give back to a movement that has given me so much and to help create the same unforgettable experiences for future generations.
