Why Volunteer with Us?
Volunteering with Scouts isn’t just about camping trips and outdoor activities (although those are pretty great!). It’s about making a real impact in the lives of young people. By joining our team, you’ll play a key role in helping young people develop confidence, resilience, and skills for life.
Perks of Volunteering:
- Help shape the future: Make a lasting difference in the lives of young people aged 6 to 18.
- Adventure awaits: Get involved in exciting activities, from hiking and climbing to coding and community projects.
- Gain new skills: Training opportunities abound. Learn leadership, first aid, outdoor skills, and more.
- Be part of a community: Join a supportive, fun-loving team of like-minded volunteers.
- Flexible roles: Whether you’ve got an hour a week or a few days a month, we have a role to fit your schedule.
Roles Available
We have a variety of roles to suit different interests and levels of commitment:
- Section Leaders & Assistants: Lead groups of Squirrels (4-6), Beavers (6–8), Cubs (8–10½), or Scouts (10½–14) on their Scouting adventures.
- Trustee Members: Help with the strategic direction and management of the group.
- Skills Instructors: Share your expertise in activities like climbing, kayaking, bushcraft, or creative arts.
- Occasional Helpers: Can’t commit regularly? Join us as a helper for events, camps, and activities when your schedule allows.
No experience is required! You’ll receive full training and support from experienced volunteers. All we ask for is enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.
What’s In It for You?
Scouting isn’t just about what you can give – it’s about what you can get back. Many of our volunteers find new friendships, gain confidence, and even enhance their career prospects by building valuable skills. Plus, it’s a chance to have some serious fun along the way!
