Volunteers are our do-ers, planners, minibus drivers and maintainers. They chip in where they can, grow their own skills and walk away with that sense of achievement.
They’re vital to what we do.
Who makes a good volunteer?
In short, you! We can guarantee you’ll have the skills needed to be a great volunteer and we offer training and support to learn new ones too.
Whether you want to get stuck in with our young people, help support behind the scenes or inspire as a local manager or trustee, there’ll be roles and opportunities near you.
What do you get out of volunteering?
Scouts can give you skills and experiences that will positively impact on your personal and work life; in fact over 90% of volunteers recently said this. The training can help you become a better leader or supporter and you might even learn some new skills as well. Two thirds of volunteers have even said that scouting has helped them in gaining work or advancing their career.
As well as that, Scouting provides opportunities for adventure, fun and friendship for the adults as well as the young people. Plus nothing beats the smile from a scout when they try something new or make a new friend.
