Volunteer with the 17th
Giving back to the community is a key part of the Scouting experience. We are always looking for volunteers to help us run our activities and events. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please get in touch.
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 new 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 last a lifetime
- Have fun (and laugh a lot)!
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.
