Beaver Scouts and Explorer Volunteer

  • VO98180

Description

Volunteering for the Scouts is a great way to take part in new experiences, meet a whole load of friendly people and have fun. There is something for everyone whether you’d like to help out week-after-week or whenever-you-can, the Scouting Association will provide training, learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.

As a volunteer, working in teams, you might:

1)Welcome young people and families to sessions and events
2)Make sure everyone’s safe, supported, included and having fun
3)Help to plan and lead activities
4)Get involved with days out, camps and expeditions
5)Share and learn skills – from coding to cake decorating to canoeing
6)Celebrate young people’s achievements big and small

You don't need to be Bear Grylls to volunteer with Scouts - we need everyone to muck in and help support young people to learn #SkillsForLife.
