What does the Squirrel Team do?
They craft soft, playful sessions where little explorers learn to share space, ideas, and dreams. It’s gentle, colourful, and full of laughter.
What would I do?
You’d lend calm hands during crafts, help manage simple activities, and offer reassurance when someone needs a moment. Your support keeps the room safe, smooth, and full of warmth.
Want to have a chat?
We welcome enquiries from people outside of Scouting, as well as exsiting members who may want to explore a role with a higher level of responsibility, developing new skills, abilities and set themselves new personal challenges – all of which can be used in and outside Scouting.
All roles are open to people aged 18 and above unless otherwise indicated.
Get inspired. Inspire others.
Join over 160,000 others who, around the UK, help nearly half a million young people be the best they can be and learn #SkillsForLife.

Great reasons to volunteer
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to volunteer with Scouts – we’ve already got him as our Chief Scout – but if you're a smiler, an inspirer, an activity planner, a great tea-maker, the best sandwich-maker in Warwick, or a really good all rounder, then you could be amazing for Scouts, and Scouts could be amazing for you.
Here are just some of the amazing reasons:
- Share your experience and skills with young people while developing yourself
- Have fun and meet new people in the area
- Inspire a generation (who will never forget what you did for them)
We’ll give you a warm welcome, make sure that you have all the support you need, give you access to easy-to-understand training and resources online, and the flexibility to get involved in a way that works for you.
At Scouts, every week is different, amazing and rewarding - for everyone that takes part.
