The Scout Association is run by volunteers and we welcome help especially from parents and guardians.
This could be on a regular or occasional basis depending on how much time you can commit. There are many different roles we need to fill. As well as helping at weekly meetings we need help with administration, fund raising, outdoor activities and in many other ways.
What's in it for you?
As a volunteer you will have the reward of knowing that you are helping young people enjoy Scouting and all the benefits it brings them.
You will also be able to develop (and practice) a variety of skills which can be applied to all sorts of situations including the workplace. For example:
- working in or leading a team
- meeting targets
- problem solving
- taking responsibility
- effective communication
- decision making
- using your initiative
- planning and implementing tasks
We have a comprehensive training programme for all adults in Scouting.
