Do you want to make a difference to the lives of young people?
Volunteering for Scouting gives you the chance to try different activities, visit new places and learn and share new skills.
Adults in scouting have many supporting roles, some roles are from 1 to 2 hours every 2 months and other roles can be many more depending on how much time you wish to give.
There is a huge variety of roles to help run the Scout group, as a trustee on the management team or a chairperson, treasurer, secretary, helping out fund raising, or maintenance of the Scout HQ or equipment. SAS Scout Active Support is a group of Adults or Leaders who cannot commit to a regular commitment to Scouts so help out now and again at Scout Groups, competitions and the recruitment events with the Public Relations and Trailer Team Service. You would make new friends, interact with others, gain confidence, have fun and there is some training involved - get involved with helping the Scouts!
