It’s important that Scouts is a great place to volunteer, where every volunteer matters, and every volunteer has fun. We want to live this in how we treat each other and take part in our roles. This encourages new people to join us and for those already involved to stick around.

 

We've transformed the volunteer journey and the way we volunteer. We have four areas of change: 

Welcoming new adults
Team Working
  
Learning & personal development

 

Digital Tools

Our volunteering principles:

  • We have a compelling and flexible volunteer offering that demonstrates the value and benefit of volunteering for the Scouts

  • Our volunteer opportunities are modern, manageable, and fit for purpose

  • we have a seamless joining and welcome experience (journey)

  • we provide relevant and timely learning which is easy to complete

  • A more engaging learning experience

    We know learning needs to be flexible, accessible, and easy to deliver and record. We also know people learn best through a combination of online and in-person learning, so our approach will be digital first but will include workshops and ‘on the job’ stuff (these will offer networking opportunities too).
