All of our adult volunteers receive full induction and ongoing training and support. Our training has been recognised with a National Training Award by UK Skills and over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives.

You don’t need to have previous experience in Scouting, just energy and enthusiasm. We can match your existing skills with the right role and help you to develop new skills.

We have a wide range of volunteer roles – from casual helpers to leaders, trainers, trustees and more – we have a role for everyone. We also offer flexible volunteering roles too, so we can fit around you and the time that you want to give to Scouting.

You don’t need to have children involved in Scouting to get involved and support our work. Many of our volunteers don’t currently have children in Scouting but feel that it is important to support young people in their local area.

Yes, you do not need any previous experience in Scouting to volunteer with us. We provide training and opportunities to enhance your skill set, if you choose, to make sure you have all the information you need to volunteer with us. We also have a number of roles available, from working directly with young people to providing more behind the scenes support, such as serving as a trustee, providing help with communications, serving as treasurer and other opportunities.
