“Why not volunteer?”
So, you just want something for your kids to do to give them an interest and teach them life skills, but what about you? Why do you have to miss out on the fun?
You may feel that you have no skills to offer Scouting - but everyone has something to give. Doing things such as making squash and organising games means the Leader has more time to spend with the young people. The challenge of leading a group of young people and seeing them achieve new heights is exhilarating.
Do you have any hobbies and interests that you could share? For example, are you a qualified First Aider who could run an interactive session or do you have an interest in nature and could take a Group on a fun walk through the local woods?
If you don’t have time in the evenings when Groups meet could you use your work skills to help out. Perhaps you could take a group of young people to your place of work such as a police station or garden centre?
Don’t like kids? Well not everyone wants to volunteer directly with young people. Perhaps you are interested in helping to decide what the kids in our group do. Our Executive Committee manages our Scout Group and we need people from a wide range of backgrounds to ensure that what we do has the kids best interests at heart.
Are you good at making money? Fantastic, come and join our Fund Raising committee, we are always looking for enthusiastic people who can bring new ideas so that our Fundraising is fun for all involved. Every penny we raise is used to benefit our young people.>
Volunteering in Scouting is fun and rewarding. You will have the chance to learn new skills, rediscover adventure, make new friends, spend more time with your child and give something back to your community.
Our progressive training programme is recognised by an OCN accredited qualification. The skills you use within Scouting can improve your CV and add that something extra that employers are looking for.
