Adults in Scouting are from all walks of life. Yet the one thing they share is the enjoyment of helping young people reach their potential. You may not be aware of the following facts: • None of our Leaders are paid – they are all volunteers. • The majority of our Leaders have full time jobs and a family. • Leaders get involved because they want to have fun and make new friends themselves. • Leaders don’t have to know everything. They are given training on the job and learn new skills as they go along. The one thing that unites our Leaders is the energy and enthusiasm they have for giving young people the adventure of Scouting • Whilst all our volunteers are passionate about what they do, many help out on a flexible basis due to other commitments. Some may help out once a week or fortnight whereas others help once a term or at summer camp. • Not all volunteers have to wear uniform. • Many adult volunteers say they are more confident in their everyday lives as a result of their involvement with Scouting. • All Leaders are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy while taking part in Scouting. • New Leaders in Scouting go through a criminal records check to ensure they are fit to work with young people. 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. 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 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 if they are a Scout and give something back to your community.
