Whatever your skills, experience and interests, we can find a
role for you!
Scouting is growing in popularity, with increasing numbers of
boys and girls joining the adventure.
But because the demand from young people far outstrips the
numbers of adult volunteers we have available to help, thousands of
young people across the country are still on waiting lists to
join.
We need your help to allow more young people to experience the
challenge and adventure of scouting.
What can Scouting do for me?
Our adult volunteers get just as much fun from scouting as young
people. As well as helping young people to enjoy the adventure of
scouting, you also get the opportunity to try a whole range of
different activities and new experiences.
We can also help you develop your current skills and learn new
ones. Volunteering in Scouting can enhance your CV or simply allow
you to pursue your interest in a specific hobby.
You don't need to have previous experience in Scouting, just
energy and enthusiasm. All of our adult volunteers receive full
induction and ongoing training and support.
How can I help Scouting?
There are many weays in which you can give your time to help
Scouting whatever your gender, age, abilities and skills. Most of
our volunteers have full-time jobs and help out on a flexible
basis, around their other commitments.
Whether you can spare two hours a week or one day a month, we
need volunteers to help young people experience the challenge and
adventure of Scouting.
Simply let us know your availability and how much your would
like to help and we will match this to roles within your local
area.
