WAYS TO HELP
There’s more than one way to volunteer.
You can support a section, come along to an event or use the skills you already have.
Help at a section
Support the team with games, crafts, activities and new adventures at Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts.
Camps and adventures
Lend a hand on camps, outings and events. Extra adults make bigger experiences possible.
Share a skill
Cooking, DIY, coding, first aid, music, sport or crafts — there are lots of ways to inspire young people.
Behind the scenes
Help with equipment, fundraising, maintenance, administration, events or communications.
REAL VOLUNTEERS. REAL IMPACT.
A little time goes a long way.
Whether you can help each week, occasionally or just with a particular event, that support allows our group to offer more activities and welcome more young people.

HOW IT WORKS
Getting started is simple.
01 · Have a conversation
Tell us what interests you and roughly how much time you have. There’s no expectation to commit immediately.
02 · Find a suitable role
We’ll discuss where your support could be most useful and what opportunities are available.
03 · Get the right support
Relevant checks, learning and safeguarding requirements will be arranged for the role before you begin.

Will I need safeguarding checks or training?
Requirements depend on the role. The team will explain the relevant checks, learning and safeguarding arrangements.
