Adult volunteers

All our activities are run by volunteers, who join us because they want to:

• Try something new
• Make friends
• Spend time with their children – or gain experience with young people
• Do something good for their community and themselves
• Keep their bodies and brains active and happy – whether that’s by scaling mountains, sharing skills, or serving tea

All end up making a huge difference to young people’s lives – gifting them with skills for life, and learning a whole lot about themselves along the way…

But don’t just take our word for it. Take theirs:

“I’m teaching my child things I value, and that other children and other parents value as well. It’s brought out something I never knew I had”

Chris, Section Leader, Manchester

“It’s a fantastic way to give young people some of the skills I’ve learned. It’s therapy I’ve been able to continue Scouts through some very difficult times”

Beryl, Active Support Unit/Cub Scout Leader

“Meeting new people and teaching life skills. Also offering opportunities to children that they may not have at home”

Michelle, Beaver Leader
