Our Scout district is growing. We need adults who are keen to try new things and to have fun to join our team of adults who run our youth sections for 6 – 18 year olds. We need adults to help us provide these fantastic opportunities to local young people. Our leaders are normal people just like you, but by working together they make extraordinary things happen!
One week you may play volleyball, the next get crafty making puppets, the week after make a structure with spaghetti (yes spaghetti!) – we call this pioneering. What we can guarantee is that no two weeks are the same as the young people do different things each week to earn their badges and awards. We are open to boys and girls from all faiths, backgrounds and abilities and welcome everyone.
Could you make a difference and help grow our district?
We meet weekly and are looking for someone to join our team of Leaders so if you can’t be there every week that’s OK, we understand and welcome you when you can come! Perhaps you could help us plan some of our fantastic activities or day trips instead. Whatever time you have to give we can find a role for you that you will find rewarding.

Benefits
All our activities are run by volunteers, who might join us because they want to:
- Try something 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
All end up making a huge difference to young people’s lives – gifting them with skills for life, and learning a whole lot about themselves along the way.
But don’t just take our word for it. Take theirs.
I’ve been volunteering for the past 10 years and can honestly say that Scouting has provided a purpose, a way to give back and inspire many Young People.
