Getting involved as an adult in Scouting
 |
 |
Ask a young person why they stay in Scouting, and they will probably say because its fun and they 'get something out of it'. This is true for adults in Scouting too! Being an adult in Scouting can be challenging but also very rewarding. What adults get out of Scouting depends on what they put in! Adults stay involved for a variety of reasons and some are the same as for young people – it is fun, there is chance to make new friends, and adults get the same opportunity for adventure.
There is also the chance for adults to see young people develop and grow, and know they have contributed to it by passing on their skills and abilities and investing time in them.
Giving is often just as rewarding as receiving, and giving your time and effort to Scouting will certainly be very rewarding.
Be part of it!
Scouting has a lot to offer both young people and the adults that work with them. At times it will be a challenge, but there is the fun and sense of satisfaction from making a worthwhile commitment that more than makes up for that!
There are almost 100,000 adults who are regularly involved in the United Kingdom as Members of the Movement. Many more provide back-up support. Go on, get in touch and be one of us!
