And some frequently asked questions about volunteering with us

1. Try over 200 activities – Being a member of the Scouting Movement lets you dive into activities like archery, acting, street sports, and zorbing.
2. Make new friends – Joining Scouting is a chance to meet up with your friends and do lots of exciting activities. You’ll meet adventurous people just like you who want to do something a little different.
3. Have fun – life is about grabbing opportunities! Above everything else, Scouting is all about enjoying yourself, whatever you’re doing and there’ll always be plenty to do!
4. Get outdoors – As a member of the Scouting Movement, you get to explore the big outdoors and travel to new places and try new things.
5. Learn exciting things – Not many people know about the stars at night, how to sail a dinghy or make a sausage stew on a campfire, but you soon will! Scouting helps you learn lots of new and amazing skills – and you get to earn badges and rewards along the way
