What's in it for you...

The only prerequisite to volunteer with us – apart from enthusiasm, of course – is that you're over 18. We provide an induction, lots of ongoing support and training which can result in external recognition with:

• The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM)

• The Institute of Training and Occupational Learning (ITOL)

These awards are recognised by many external organisations, bodies and employers, making them a great addition to your volunteering experience and your CV.

The benefits of volunteering with scouting...

Volunteering with scouting can enrich your life – don’t just take our word for it. Over 90% of our volunteers say that their Scout experiences are hugely beneficial:

Gain skills

We have an award-winning training scheme for our volunteers so you get as much from it as our amazing young people, including practical skills like first aid and transferable skills like communication and leadership.

Boost your CV

More than two thirds of our volunteers say their CVs have been enhanced by joining Scouts. Employers love to see the commitment of volunteers, and through Scouts you can get vital experience in areas like management, administration and activities.

Make new friends

A whopping 97% of our volunteers say their involvement has helped them forge new friendships.

Change lives

There’s no better feeling than making a difference to communities and transforming the lives of young people. How’s that for job satisfaction?

Flexible volunteering

The only prerequisite to volunteer with us – apart from enthusiasm, of course – is that you're over 18. We know our volunteers lead busy lives, so we’re all about flexibility: whatever the time and skills available we can find a great role for you.

You can choose to volunteer with us once a week, twice a month or once a year – in the thick of activities with young people or behind the scenes in management, executive or support roles.
