Volunteer

Over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives.

There are some fantastic reasons to volunteer with The Scouts. Not only can you set yourself up with some life changing skills, but you get to help shape the future of the next generation to help enable them to do more, learn more and be more.

Volunteering can come in lots of different shapes and sizes, from a couple of hours a month to an hour or two a week, and not all our roles have to involve young people as there are executive and organisation roles available too.
