Volunteering for Scouting is easier than you think and one of the most fun, rewarding and positive things you can ever do. You can give as much or as little time you like. Whether you can spare an hour a month or a day a year, we will match opportunities that fit your skills and time available.
We have opportunities both behind the scenes and working with young people in uniform. With full support and training, you can experience the fun, friendship and adventure of Scouting for yourself, all on a flexible basis.
You do not need any previous Scout experience and we welcome everyone, both male and female and with no upper age limit. You do not even have to camping if you do not want to!

From fire lighting to first aid, canoeing to cooking, every week is different.
Leaders support all our Young People to push themselves, try new things, and gain #SkillsForLife.
We’re looking for volunteers to join all of our sections, helping to deliver a safe and exciting programme for Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. You’ll be joining an existing leadership team, who work together to share the responsibilities of running the section.
Whether you’ve been involved in Scouting previously, or are completely new to the movement, we will provide all the training and support you need to become a knowledgeable and confident leader.
Our sections meet weekly during term-time, as well as occasionally on weekends or during holidays.
Every Scout group is a charity, and has a Board of Trustees. The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together to make sure Scouts is run safely and legally.
Together, Trustees make sure the charity is well managed, risks are assessed and mitigated, buildings and equipment are in good working order, and everyone follows legal requirements and Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR).
Their support helps other volunteers run a fantastic programme that gives young people skills for life (and experiences they’ll remember forever).
