Fancy making a difference? We are run entirely by volunteers who give up their own time to help us. There are two main types of volunteers: the uniformed Leaders and the Executive Committee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences by providing opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship. The Scout Association award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. The approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life. In Scouting, our adults have a responsibility to make sure that the Programme is fun and exciting. We must also make sure that it is safe. The Scout Association’s policies, rules, code of behaviour, advice on Child Protection and safety policy are there to ensure our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn. Volunteering for Scouting is one of the most fun, rewarding and positive things you can ever do. You can give as much or a little time you like and we will match opportunities that fit your skills and time available. If you would like to have fun and make friends, earn professional qualifications and make a real difference to the lives of young people please volunteer with us.

The Kyle and Carrick Scout District covers an area of approximately 422 square miles from Ballantrae in the south to Dundonald in the north. We have 14 Groups across the District and 4 active Explorer Scout Units providing Scouting to over 900 young people within Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers. We are proud to be part of the largest co-educational youth movement in the UK believing in Scouting for All. We are run entirely by volunteers who give up their own time to help us. At present we are seeking to appoint a Treasurer to the District Executive Committee, whose key responsibility is to manage the finances of the District. Working closely with the District Chairman, the Treasurer will help with the effective administration of the District and provide sound financial support and advice to the District Committee. The Treasurer, ideally, should be someone with financial skills or want to further develop their skills in this area. In addition to managing the Districts finances, the Treasurer will be expected to attend around 5 Committee meetings each year - including the Annual General Meeting. The role is covered by Scout Trustee Indemnity insurance and expenses will be paid if required.
