Volunteering with our Scout Group is a fantastic way to make a real difference in your local community while being part of something fun, supportive, and inspiring. Across our Beaver, Cub, and Scout sections, we provide young people aged 6 to 14 with opportunities to build confidence, learn new skills, and experience adventure. However, due to high demand, we currently have a growing waiting list—and with more volunteers, we could offer even more young people the chance to join and potentially open new sections.
Our group continues to grow, and the interest from young people and families is higher than ever. To keep delivering exciting, safe, and engaging programmes—and to reduce our waiting list—we need more adults to step forward and get involved. Even giving a small amount of time can have a huge impact.
There’s a role for everyone, whatever your skills, experience, or availability. You don’t need any previous Scouting experience—just enthusiasm and a willingness to help!
