Volunteering

There’s a role for everyone.

Our Scout Group thrives because of the amazing volunteers who give their time, skills and enthusiasm to help young people grow, learn and enjoy new experiences.

We have a wide range of flexible volunteering opportunities across the Group. You could support young people as part of one of our Section Teams, help behind the scenes through our Service Crew, or lend a hand with administration, fundraising, events, equipment, maintenance and community engagement.

Whether you can help regularly, occasionally or just for a few hours at an event, your support can make a real difference. No previous Scouting experience is needed, and you can choose a role that suits your interests, skills and availability.

Whatever you can offer, we’d love to have you as part of the team.
