What do our volunteers do?

• Make sure everyone's safe, supported, included and having fun 

• Help to plan and lead activities

• Get involved with days out, camps and expeditions 

• Share and learn skills – from coding to cake decorating to canoeing 

• Celebrate young people's achievements, big and small 

No previous experience with young people? No problem.

Whether you'd like to help out week after week or whenever-you-can, we provide training, learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.

Not sure how you'd like to help yet, or how much time you have to give? No worries.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Scout groups around the world. They work they do provides young people with memories for life.

Volunteering is an opportunity to:

• Make friends

• Challenge yourself and get outdoors

• Positively impact your community

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.

Want to make a big impact behind the scenes?

Your time and skills can make a difference in so many ways. 

Not all volunteers work directly with young people. Many Help out in other ways

Working in teams, they might: 

• Get the best out of volunteers, using their people and leadership skills

• Spread the word about Scouts to attract new members

• Help with admin, fundraising, finances, operations or governance 

• Keep everything running smoothly on the ground – from serving tea and coffee, helping to tidy up after meetings or sessions, driving or keeping meeting places in tip-top condition

Thank you for wanting to help; your efforts as a volunteer would be invaluable!
