VOLUNTEERS : THE HEART OF SCOUTING

Volunteers are the beating heart of Scouting.

We want to help our volunteers to get as much out the vast array of experiences as they are able to put into them. 

We know that Scouting is not only about our young people, but also about the development of our volunteers. To support Scout volunteers, you are required to complete a training programme made up of mandatory, role-specific and ongoing learning. The training programme builds on your existing skills and knowledge and some elements count towards externally recognised awards.

Training

We provide our volunteers with the tools and tips to feel trained, supported and happy in your role. Discover the training to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies.

Awards and Recognition

We want to thank all our volunteers for their contribution to Scouts – we know how important it is to recognise their brilliant achievements.
