We’ve all seen Bear Grylls on the telly and the good news is that you don’t need to be him to join us. Many of our adult volunteers have never done Scouts before. We don’t need a CV and covering letter to join us, we just need you and your enthusiasm! We’ve had volunteers who are parents, who are from the Nottingham University, and also people who’ve just moved to the area and want to give some time to their new community.

Non Scouting Roles
Do you fancy volunteering, but don’t necessarily want to work directly with young people? We have a variety of non Scouting roles that are always available. We rely on these people to help run the back bones of our group.
Trustee’s – The Trustee Board plays a vital role in the running of a Scout Group. Trustee Boards make decisions and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that the best quality Scouting can be delivered to young people in the Group.
Maintenance crew team members – Without our maintenance crew, we simply wouldn’t be able to operate safely. Our maintenance crews look after our Lilac Grove HQ site and maintain Barton Island. If you are a keen gardener or an expert DIY-er we want you!
Also if you are qualified individual, electric / gas / plumbing / tree surgeon / joiner / builder and want to give something back to your community, get in touch.
Fundraising Team- We are always looking for enthusiastic people to join our team of fundraisers. 2nd Beeston is a charity and membership fees paid by parents does not cover all of our outgoings, so we top this up by fundraising. We also have a number of projects ongoing that need urgent funding. We need people like you to help raise vital funds to ensure the group has all the kit we need to operate.
