Volunteering

There's a place for you too

You don't need to have been a Scout. Give the time you actually have, and we'll provide the training and the DBS check.

Right now

What we need

Beavers is running jointly with Cubs because of leader availability. These are the roles that would change that, and keep the Group running.

Any amount of time

Ways to help

At Scouts we celebrate difference and welcome everyone. Whatever your background, identity or ability, there's a volunteer spot with your name on it.

Every week

Help run a section night with Beavers, Cubs or Scouts — planning activities, running games, and getting to know the young people.

Now and then

If you can only help occasionally, that's OK. An activity, a camp, a tea urn or a craft table — we appreciate any time you can spare.

Behind the scenes

Our Trustee Board keeps the Group running: money, records, and making sure everything is done safely and properly.

Why volunteer

It's good for you too

Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It's a great feeling knowing you're helping young people grow in confidence, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.

  • Make friends and meet new people
  • Try new things and challenge yourself
  • Get outdoors and get stuck in
  • Positively impact your community
  • Create vital opportunities for young people
  • Make memories that last a lifetime
  • Have fun (and laugh a lot)

Getting started

What happens when you get in touch

  1. Get in touch

    Email the Group Scout Leader at [email protected] and tell us a little about yourself and the time you have.

  2. Find your role

    We'll talk through where you'd fit — a section, an occasional hand, or behind the scenes.

  3. Checks and training

    Every adult has a DBS check and completes The Scout Association's safety and safeguarding training before they take on a role in full. We'll help you with both.
