Volunteer with Scouts
Giving back will improve your wellbeing, equip you with skills for the future, and help you make a positive impact on the lives of young people
At Scouts we celebrate difference and welcome everyone.
Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.

Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:
- Make friends and meet people
- Try new things and challenge yourself
- Get outdoors and get stuck in
- Positively impact your community
- Create vital opportunities for young people
- Make memories that'll last a lifetime
If you can only occasionally help, that’s OK. Whether you’d like to be an activity planner, tea-maker or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare.
Whether you want to work with young people directly or help out behind the scenes, there's something for everyone at Scouts.
Hear from our volunteers about what being involved with Scouts means to them.
Working in partnership with our staff team and local volunteers, our national team serves the whole movement.
