Make a Difference – Join Hinckley District Scouts Today!

At Hinckley District Scouts, we’re on the lookout for enthusiastic adults to join our team of volunteers and help inspire the next generation. Whether you’re looking for adventure, a way to give back to the community, or simply want to share your skills, Scouting is the perfect place to do it!

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!

Meet new people, try new activities, and make lifelong memories – all while giving back to your community.
