There are many ways for you to get involved as a parent – helping out occasionally on a parents rota, volunteering your time as a leader, helping run our Scout District and many more. Our volunteering opportunities allow for anyone to be able to give back and lend a hand. Whether you are helping a leader run an activity at your local meeting place, assisting in a hike, organising a night away or pouring 20 cups of tea – no two Scout meetings are the same! The difference you make though will last a lifetime.
Make an incredible difference, volunteer today
All our activities and sessions are run by volunteers, who might join us because they want to:
- Try something fun and new
- Make friends
- Spend time with their children – or gain experience with young people
- Do something good for their community and themselves
- Keep their bodies and brains active and happy – whether that’s by scaling mountains, sharing skills or serving tea
What to expect:
- A warm welcome
- Flexibility to get involved in a way that works for you
- Easy access to training and resources online
- Friendly ongoing support from local volunteers
- Updates from our Scouting District through monthly in-person district meetings
Whenever you become occasional or devote your time to Scouting every week – the different you will make is huge, providing them the tools to learn essential skills for life and find about who they and their community are.
At Scouts we celebrate difference and welcome everyone.
Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.

Boost your wellbeing. Its #GoodForYou!
Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that’ll last a lifetime
