Adult Support - Can You Help?
Helping the Scout Movement
There are many ways you can help the Scout Movement. As a volunteer you could help young people pursue a worthwhile and enjoyable hobby. At the same time you can do something challenging and rewarding in your spare time, meet socially with others with similar interests and HAVE FUN! You can give as much or as little time as you choose.
How can I help? 
Leaders
Adults aged from 18 years are needed to work directly with young Members in running weekly meetings and other activities, it is a rewarding role. We have uniformed Leaders and Assistant Leaders as well as Section Assistants, who give what time they can in support of the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts.
