Are you 16 or 17 and keen to represent Surrey East as the best of Surrey youth?
Application deadline is end of July 2024
We have the amazing opportunity to nominate a young member of Girlguiding Surrey East to become a Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet for a year starting in October 2024. In this role, you would support the Lord Lieutenant (LL) of Surrey, or his deputy, on royal visits and a wide variety of other civic duties and occasions in Surrey. To be eligible to be our representative, you must be a member of Girlguiding Surrey East and have a Surrey home address.
All the Cadet’s duties will be in uniform, and the expectation is that you will be exceptionally smart as you will be at the forefront of royal and other events. To apply you will need to be nominated by your unit leader or local commissioner and provide an email yourself summarising why we should consider you for this prestigious role. Please send this directly to surreyeastcc@btinternet.com by 31 July 2024.
We will hold a selection afternoon of Saturday 14 September, where you will meet the deputy lieutenant and the outgoing cadet. You will also need the support of family as in the role you will need transport to and from events which can be anywhere in Surrey and occasionally at unsociable times!
The LL recognises that the Cadets are likely to have exams during the year and that school or college work has priority. Normally each Cadet will attend at least ten or twelve events, some of which will involve members of the royal family including some in August.
