Scouting depends entirely on unpaid volunteers which is why…
WE NEED YOU!
Be it setting for camp, running an exciting activity, helping out a few times a month at meetings or becoming a fully fledged leader you help will be appreciated. Don’t think it’s just the kids that get to do the fun stuff, leader frequently get the opportunity to take part in activities, gain new skills and qualifications. Scouting is also good on your CV.
We also need help behind the scenes with everything from building maintenance, paper work, transport, organisation and more.
If you have a professional skill (first aid, electrician, plumber etc) which you wouldn’t mind lending on occasion this would also be of great value to us as Scouting is non-profit and anywhere we can save money behind the scenes means more money into activities etc..
