We think you'd be a great volunteer!
You don't need to have been a Scout as a young person, and you don't need to help out every week.We're always looking for adult volunteers to join the group and help in any way. Not just leaders, but people with skills and expertise that will give us the ability to help our young people, raise funds, build our resources and foster links with local businesses and organisations that can help us achieve our goals.
Joining doesn't mean you need to make a huge commitment to a pre-determined schedule, nor does it mean giving a fixed amount of time every week. The amount of support that you offer and the time you give to us is entirely up to you. You don't need to make the Promise, and you don't need to wear the uniform either. Help out on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly or even on an event-by-event basis.
If you work for a company that can help us, we've also got some great information on how you can help, as well as some stories that show how companies have helped us to deliver an amazing programme in the past.
