Volunteer With Us

LEADING A HAND

Week by week, our volunteers empower hundreds of young people across the Forest of Dean to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet.

They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process.

That’s where you come in.

You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about minibus drivers and first-aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family.

Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread for a group of very hungry eleven year olds – no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make though, is always great.

And what’s more, we provide the training for free. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.

Sounds fun? Worthwhile? Definitely. To find out more just fill in the form below and we’ll get in touch.
