Adult Volunteers (18+)

Most of our volunteers work directly with young people aged 6-18 through our Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer groups, known as sections – helping young people gain skills for life through activities and adventures.

Working in teams, they might:

  • Welcome young people and families to sessions and events
  • Make sure everyone’s safe, supported, included and having fun
  • Help to plan and lead activities
  • Get involved with days out, camps and expeditions
  • Share and learn skills – from coding to cake decorating to canoeing
  • Celebrate young people’s achievements big and small

No previous experience with young people? No problem. Whether you’d like to help out week-after-week or whenever-you-can, we provide training, learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.

If working directly with young people is not your thing then you could perhaps consider becoming a member of our Group Executive Committee, fondly referred to as “PAL,S”

We are always looking for enthusiastic adults to support the Group, from fund raising and maintaining our premises, to admin roles Secretary and Treasurer we can make use everyone’s talents, and the Group cannot exist without this vital Committee behind the scenes.
