Adult Volunteers

Whether you are a Network Member, parent of a child in Scouting, or someone who is totally new to Scouting you’ve come to the right place.

Adult Volunteers (18+)

One of the biggest myths about Scouting is that Groups are closing down due to a lack of young people wanting to become Scouts. Nothing could be further from the truth; Scouts in the UK is a growing Movement and we currently have way too many young people on our waiting lists simply because we do not have enough adults to help out.

Why help?

There are many reasons why adults choose to volunteer for Scouting. Here are some that existing volunteers have given:

  • To give something back to the community
  • To support the Leaders
  • Because volunteering is a ‘good thing
  • As an enabler, so the Leader can do more
  • To spend more quality time with your child
  • To develop your own skills and do something practical
  • To enjoy and rediscover adventure for yourself
  • To live a healthier more active lifestyle

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please get in touch.
