Week by week, our volunteers inspire and provide #SkillsForLife for young people aged 4-25. We support Scouting in the Borders, Braid, Craigalmond, East Lothian, Edinburgh North East, Midlothian and Pentland areas Our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re supported by our everyday heroes - adult volunteers who shape young people’s lives for the better and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too. 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 minibus 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. As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. Don’t fancy working directly with young people? We also have roles in governance, administration, planning, social media and much more! Get in touch with your local group and offer your skills/time. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is. Benefits: • Access to accredited training, including the Institution of Leadership and Management. • Improved employability and wellbeing • New skills and personal development • Saltire Award / DofE supported • Flexible approach to do volunteering including home-based opportunities. • Supportive Volunteers and Staff • Progression opportunities • Inclusive Organisation

A role to get to creative and have lots of fun whilst planning and delivering community and fundraising events for Westfield Park Community Centre's (SCIO) charity.

At Peerie Foxes we love children and we're lucky enough to play every day with them! YAY We also have statutory requirements to record lots of information for their records and this interferes with our playtime. BOO Yet if YOU could volunteer with us you would be: Having fun playing with children. Giving them socialisation opportunities - with you! Enabling us some admin time to discuss and record their achievements. We'd really appreciate your time!
