At Scouts we celebrate difference and welcome everyone.
Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.
Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that’ll last a lifetime
If you can only occasionally help, that’s OK. Whether you’d like to be an activity planner, tea-maker or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare.

If you need more, here are testimonials from our group:
Gill McDonald, former Group Scout Leader
Why have I been Scouting for so many years? Quite simply, because it is an amazing adventure full of fun. Seeing our young people develop their confidence and life-skills, and gain so much from the experiences we offer, is immensely rewarding and I feel privileged to be part of the Scouting journey for both our young people and adult volunteers. Scouting is an opportunity to try new experiences, even as an adult, and to make new friends with similar interests.
Martin Cousins, Scout Section Assistant
Why do I volunteer? Volunteering in general can help give people a sense of purpose outside of their normal everyday lives. Being a scout leader is no different, but comes with a lot of perks. For young adults, it’s a really good CV booster and a chance to improve on their leadership skills. For an adult volunteer, it’s a chance to have some fun while in a constructing learning environment, teaching scouts life skills, survival skills and all sorts in-between.
Martyn Pope, Group Lead Volunteer
How did you get involved?
I was a Springdale Scout from 2009-2012. I wanted to come back and do for others what my leaders did for me. I joined Broadstone Cubs aged 17 in 2015 and started leading the pack in 2017.
What do you enjoy about your role?
I love bringing good people together. We’ve achieved so much in Broadstone as a team over time. Our group has a huge heritage and it’s an honour to continue to work of previous Group Scout Leaders.
What would your advice be for something thinking about getting involved?
Try it! It’s so rewarding seeing what young people get out of it. It’s also incredibly social, I’ve made so many friends. Plus, there are so many opportunities to try new things, totally bizarre things!
