Days & Times Vary
Giving back will improve your wellbeing, equip you with skills for the future, and help you make a positive impact on the lives of young people.
Whether you want to work with young people directly or help out behind the scenes, there's something for everyone at Scouts.
Week by week, our volunteers empower thousands of young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too.
Today, there are nearly 60,000 young people on waiting lists to join us in the UK. We’re more relevant and more needed than ever, but it’s not always easy to keep up with the demand.
Volunteer uniform consists of a shirt with your badges sewn on and a necker to represent your local group.
Uniform can either be bought from Scout Store or from a local supplier. You can also, if you're stuck, ask other volunteers to tell you more, they will be more than happy to help.
Once they’ve had time to settle in to the group, Volunteers get their own set of uniform to wear during meetings and on trips away.
Usually, this consists of a cream shirt or blouse with their badges sewn on, which they pair with their group scarf.
From caps and backpacks to water bottles and blanket badges to celebrate your adventures, we have it all. Personalise your items so they don't get lost!
To be invested as a Volunteer you'll have to learn the Volunteers Law & Promise and it's always handy to know our motto!
