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.
