Volunteer

Giving back will improve your wellbeing, equip you with skills for the future, and help you make a positive impact on the lives of young people

leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Scouts the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.

Volunteer on your own terms


We always need more adult leaders to work directly with our young people to deliver exciting activities.

Scouts is made up of volunteers who give up their time because they enjoy helping to develop young people.

By choosing Scouting, you will make a real difference to the lives of young people and have a huge impact within our community. You will have the opportunity to try plenty of new things and develop your skills.

There are lots of ways you can get involved as a parent, from helping out occasionally on a parent rota to volunteering your time as a leader. Our volunteering opportunities are as varied as you! Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in Hut, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread for a group of very hungry beavers – no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.

Make a difference, volunteer today

All our activities are run by volunteers, who might join us because they want to: 

  • Try something new
  • Make friends 
  • Do something good for the community and young people
  • Keep their bodies and brains active and happy – whether that’s by scaling mountains, sharing skills or serving tea 

What to expect:

  • A warm welcome
  • Flexibility to get involved in a way that works for you
  • Easy access to training and resources online
  • Friendly ongoing support from local volunteers

No two weeks are the same, but the impact you make is always great.

All end up making a huge difference to young people’s lives – gifting them with skills for life, and learning a whole lot about themselves along the way.
