How Can YOU Help

You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about mini bus drivers and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family.

Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven year olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.

We provide the training. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.

Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.

More help needed due to Covid-19

To continue operating during the present crisis, the Group has obviously had to comply with considerable additional constraints and requirements. We have also had to "Do Our Best" to anticipate future requirements, and to develop contingency plans.

As part of our contingency planning we foresee a possibility of having to lower the number of young people in each section.

Luckily we are allowed to run more sections, for example two Beaver Colonies, and/or two Cub Packs. We also have the space and resources to do this, but almost overnight we would need some more adult volunteers, even if just to maintain our required adult supervision ratios.

You would NOT be thrown in at the deep end, that's not how we do things here, we would divide some of our experienced teams, and mix the new volunteers in with them. Your help has never been more essential, we have a great team, all volunteers and everyone here really enjoys the difference they are making to young lives, why not pick up the phone and have a chat to see how you could help.
