Join the adventure!

Volunteer

Our Scout Group is vibrant and growing, as are our waiting lists, and so we are always in need of volunteers to help give the children the scouting experience they deserve.  Whatever your skills and availability, there is something you can contribute.  If you are interested or have any questions, please let us know using the contact form

Do I really have the skills you need? 

You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls to be involved in Scouting. Do you have first aid knowledge? Are you good with numbers? Handy in the kitchen? Or are you a DIY whizz? We all have useful skills and you can volunteer and help in many ways. 

What if I do not have much spare time? 

Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. Whether you help out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events or camps, there is bound to be a role you can play, and no matter how you get involved, we’ll make sure you are properly trained and supported. 

What will I get out of volunteering? 

As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers a chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. A study found that over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives. 

My child is in Scouting. Is there anything I can do to help? 

The short answer is yes. Many of our helpers and leaders are parents of our youth members because they’ve seen firsthand how Scouting benefits young people and want to give something back. It’s also a chance to spend more time with your children and learn new skills. Speak to your child’s leader to discuss how you might become involved. 

Are there any age restrictions on helping out? 

As long as you’re over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. If you are aged between 14 and 18, there is an option of becoming a young leader
