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.
Trustee role
Treasurer
A trustee role behind the scenes: looking after the Group's money with the rest of the Trustee Board.
Section leader
Beavers Team Leader
Beavers is running jointly with Cubs because of leader availability. A Team Leader is what lets it run as its own section again.
Trustee role
Secretary
A trustee role behind the scenes: keeping the Trustee Board's records and paperwork in order.
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)
