Each week, our amazing volunteers give a little time to help young people gain Skills for Life and you could be one of them.
You don't need to have any previous Scout experience. You don't need to commit every week. You just need to decide you're up for giving it a go. We'll support you every step of the way.

Why Volunteer?
Why Volunteer?
There are many reasons why adults choose to volunteer for Scouting. Here are some that existing volunteers have given:
To give something back to the community: ‘I believe the young people get such a lot out of it; I just put a bit back for what they take out.’
To support the Leaders: ‘They give so much, you’ve got to give some of that back.’
Because volunteering is a ‘good thing’: ‘I just personally believe that you should always do some kind of voluntary work…otherwise nothing would get done in this world.’
As an enabler, so the Leader can do more: ‘If I can help Sam, our Leader, out by doing the little things, then it means she has got more time to give the young people and then they get more out of it.’
To spend more quality time with your child: ‘David used to go on his PlayStation2 while I read the paper after school and work – now we get a chance to do activities together.’
To develop your own skills: ‘I hadn’t used a compass since I was a Scout. After I learned how to use one again, I take one out on family walks. We get lost less than we used to!’
To enjoy and rediscover adventure for yourself: ‘We had a water fight at Beavers the other week, it was great!’
Family Support in Scouts.
Family Support in Scouts.
Many of our volunteers are parents or carers of young people in the group. They are vital to the continued success. They are passionate about helping young people to grow, learn and experience more.
If you're a parent or carer and would like to get involved (even in a small way) please have a chat with your child's Lead Volunteer. Every bit of support makes a BIG difference.
