Role Description

Volunteer with Scouts – Make a Difference, Your Way

Want to give back, meet new people, and be part of something fun? Come volunteer with Scouts!

We’re looking for friendly, reliable adults to join our team. Whether you’re up for leading games and outdoor adventures with young people, or you’d rather help out behind the scenes—we’ve got a role for you.

We need volunteers who can:

Run or help with weekly sessions for young people (no experience needed!)

Organise trips, activities, or camps

Lend a hand with admin, fundraising, accounts, or maintenance

Support us in small ways that make a big difference

You don’t need to have been a Scout or know how to light a campfire—we’ll show you the ropes. Just bring a bit of time and a willingness to get stuck in.

Why volunteer?

Make a real impact in your local community

Learn new skills and build confidence

Be part of a welcoming, supportive team

Have fun and make lasting memories

Whether it’s an hour a week or a bit more, we’d love to hear from you.

Come join the adventure—your way
