Volunteers and Vacancies

Worth their weight in gold.

Without our volunteers, there would not be any scouting for the young people. Volunteers are the core of our group. Scouting is a progressive programme of activities designed to help young develop their personalities and confidence. It provides a foundation for great values to live by: helpfulness, friendship, cooperation; respect for self and for others; understanding and tolerance; integrity based on loyalty, honesty and trust; leadership, resourcefulness and courage in the face of difficulties.

What could be more important to nurturing the citizens of the future?

This is why it matters profoundly and why we need even more support from volunteers, donors, employers and decision-makers like you. With just a little of your resources – time, talent, money, and goodwill – we can make a huge difference.

We welcome adults of all ages, interests and backgrounds to support Scouting. There is no need to have been involved in Scouting or Guiding before; all that is required is a willingness to give some of your time and a positive attitude!

It’s not all outdoor adventure for our adult volunteers, they help across a range of subjects, providing much needed organisational support, on logistics, training, mentoring, administration, marketing, fundraising and as charity trustees.

The list of opportunities is almost endless.

Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.

Current adult volunteer vacancies

• Scout Leaders – We already have people in our Scout Leadership team, but we’re looking to the future as we’ll be losing two when their job moves, so there is no better time to come and dip your toe in the water.  Both troops run the same programme, all preparation is shared, we camp as one troop; there’s definitely no ‘us & them’, well until they compete against each other of course!  Scouts is our most adventurous section and quite possibly our most fulfilling as you see our young people achieve what they never thought possible. If this is for you, then Contact Us now!
• Help with ad hoc tasks – We always need help with ad hoc tasks too. If you have just a bit of time to assist us, then we have a series of tasks it would be very helpful to get your assistance with. The full list is in the PDF here.

If you would like to volunteer or know anything else please get in touch.
