Adult Volunteers

Adults have busy, unpredictable lives meaning that it might be hard to commit to set hours or days.
Our volunteering opportunities are based on a flexible, team-based model with shared roles, varied skills, support with training, and a large experienced team so we can deliver our adventurous scouting programme.
Scouting is about giving young people confidence, a sense of purpose, life values and skills that are hard to find anywhere else. Volunteering is easier than you think…

Our Adult Volunteering Roles

For each section, we believe that a team-based approach, where everyone works together, means we have the flexibility and fun to run activities every week.

Section Volunteer: As a uniformed volunteer, you organise and help run activities (from 2 hours a week). If this is not possible, We have several joint-parent roles, where parents role share, so that work, child care and the like can be balanced with volunteering. you work as part of a team of adult volunteers,  assisting in the planning and delivery of an exciting programme of outdoor activities, crafts, community projects, games, challenges and nights away sleepovers on camp!

Parent Rota: For our younger sections – especially Squirrels, Beaver and Cubs, it is fantastic for parents to come along and help. An extra pair of hands for activities goes a long way to making sure that everyone gets the most out of the week’s programme. Each section manages its parent rota, so please speak with a uniformed volunteer to find out how it works.

Trustee Board: As a trustee, they are responsible for overseeing the proper running of the scout group and premises. We normally hold 3 meetings per year in addition to our annual general meeting (AGM).

Everyone has something to offer as far as supporting and volunteering in scouting.

Whatever your age, ability, or time commitment, there are many ways to get involved. Scouting provides young people with life experiences in a controlled and safe environment.

You don’t need specific scouting knowledge and many of our volunteers have never been in scouting before. The Scouts Association provides an award-winning flexible training scheme that scales with your abilities and fits the volunteer’s needs.

All you need is a passion to see children develop into confident and caring young people. So, join the fun and adventure and give as much or as little time in whatever role you choose.
