Helping young people step up and speak up starts here. We’re looking for friendly faces to join our team at the Scout hall (or out in the woods!) to help our 10 to 14-year-olds get thinking and get stuck into all kinds of things that give them skills for life.

As a Team Member, you’ll be part of the fun, friendship, and adventure by:

• Mucking in with weekly activities, from fire-lighting and first aid to coding and cooking.
• Thinking on your feet to help a Scout who’s stuck on a tricky challenge.
• Being a high-fiver and a tea-maker, providing the encouragement young people need to try, try again.
• Playing your part in planning exciting trips and outdoor adventures that build a sense of belonging.
• Stepping into their shoes to listen to young people’s big ideas and help make them happen.

Play your part and get them started sooner. We offer priority spots to the children of parents and carers who volunteer to help us run our sessions.

What skills do I need?

You don't need to be an expert camper or a knot-tying pro—we value your personality above all else. We are looking for people who are:

• Relatable and grounded: Someone who can talk human-to-human with young people and volunteers.
• Ready to give it a go: A ""go-getter"" who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty or try something new alongside the Scouts.
• Inclusive: Someone who believes everyone is welcome, regardless of their background.
• Team players: Happy to work with other adults to deliver an inspiring programme.
