Scouts are the leading youth organisation in the country. Thanks to the dedication and support of 100,000 amazing volunteers, we are active in every part of the UK, a space where young people can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.
Our incredible volunteers contribute more than ten million hours to scouting every year. Some give us a couple of hours here and there – helping out with driving for trips and holidays, fundraising and events planning, or even doing the annual accounts for local groups. Others give their time as Leaders or Assistant Leaders for units, providing young leaders with a space where they can be themselves. Whatever your skills and interests, and no matter how much time you have to spare, one of our volunteering roles is bound to suit you.
