Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteering’s not just about giving back – it goes both ways. It improves your wellbeing, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends (and memories).
Section Team
The Section Team plans, delivers, and runs quality programmes safely. They make sure all young people can take part in the programme and gain skills for life They also help young people work towards their Top Awards.
Group Leadership Team
The Group Leadership Team helps volunteers across all Sections work well together and feel motivated. They make sure the Group is respected and supported in their local community.
Trustee Board
The Trustee Board is a team of volunteers who work together, as charity trustees, to make sure Scouts is run safely and legally. At the heart of their role is a focus on strategy, performance and assurance. Effective Trustee Board governance helps our volunteers deliver fantastic programmes that give young people skills for life.

Still considering it? 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. You will be supported at every step of your journey and if you decide that this isn’t right for you, that ok – there are lots of other ways to volunteer.
Why Volunteer?
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to volunteer. We will provide you with all the support, training and wealth of experience and knowledge from worldwide scouting from the beginning.
Scouts happens when a lot of us give a little.
All our activities are run by volunteers, who might join us because they want to:
- Try something new
- Make friends
- Spend time with their children – or gain experience with young people
- Do something good for their community and themselves
- Keep their bodies and brains active and happy – whether that’s by scaling mountains, sharing skills or serving tea
All end up making a huge difference to young people’s lives – gifting them with skills for life, and learning a whole lot about themselves along the way.
Volunteering’s not just about giving back – it goes both ways. It improves your wellbeing, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends (and memories).
