Volunteer With Us

Why volunteer?

Volunteering with Scouts is one of the most rewarding things you can do. You’ll help young people develop confidence, learn new skills, and have adventures they’ll remember for a lifetime, and you’ll pick up plenty of new skills yourself along the way.

You don’t need any previous Scouting experience. Whether you can spare an hour a week or just help out at the occasional event, there’s a role for you. Scouts’ award-winning training programme means you’ll be fully supported from day one.
