Volunteering with young people

Most of our volunteers work directly with young people aged 6-14 through our Beaver, Cub and Scout sections – helping young people gain skills for life through activities and adventures.

Working in teams, they might:

• Welcome young people and families to sessions

• Make sure everyone's safe, supported, included and having fun

• Help to plan and lead activities

• Get involved with days out, camps and expeditions

• Share and learn skills – from coding to cake decorating to canoeing

• Celebrate young people's achievements big and small

No previous experience with young people? No problem. Whether you'd like to help out week-after-week or whenever-you-can, we provide training, learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.
