We are the UK's biggest mixed youth organisation. We change lives by offering 8-10 year olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities.

Assistants are responsible, with the Leaders, helpers and members, for running games and activities as part of weekly section meetings and other section events. 

The main tasks also include assisting young people to achieve badges and awards, assisting with residential experiences for the section as well as assisting the section with taking part in a varied, exciting and safe programme of activities.

Our volunteers love what they do! Working with young people can be incredibly rewarding, seeing them achieve and make new friends can stay with you for life. 

Meeting like-minded people and enjoying activities are all part of a volunteer's experience with the Scout Association. Our volunteers have access (free-of-charge) to our national training programme to help them feel more confident in what they do. 

Experience of volunteering with the UK's largest co-educational youth organisation is a great addition to a volunteer's CV when applying for paid employment in the children and young people's sector.

Our Meeting place: St Edwards Catholic Church Community Centre, RM1 4AT. (Adjacent to Romford Library.)
There is a carpark accessed off Church Lane.

What skills do I need?

No specific skills/qualifications required - full training and support given. Some experience of working with children/young people may be useful but not essential. 

It would be useful in this role to have good communication skills, the ability to work in a team, interpersonal skills and an interest in working with children.
