Adult Volunteers

We are run by unpaid volunteers. Many of us in Scouting could do with extra adult help.

There are dozens of tasks that need doing that can be done flexibly from people outside of our current volunteers list.

You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls to get involved with Scouting.

  • Do you have first aid knowledge?
  • Are you good with numbers?
  • Handy in the kitchen?
  • Or are you a DIY whizz?

We all have useful skills and you can volunteer and help in many ways.

Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. Whether you help out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events or camps, there is bound to be a role you can play, and no matter how you get involved, we’ll make sure you’re properly trained and supported.

As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers the chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. A study found that over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
