Giving back will improve your wellbeing, equip you with skills for the future, and help you make a positive impact on the lives of young people
Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that'll last a lifetime
If you can only occasionally help, that’s OK. Whether you’d like to be an activity planner, tea-maker or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare.
Team player? Love supporting young people? Great at planning?
Each week, our volunteers help young people gain skills for life through activities and adventures.
Most of our volunteers work directly with young people aged 4 to 18 through our groups, known as Sections, which are:
- Squirrels
- Beavers
- Cubs
- Scouts
- Explorers
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 learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.
