Organisation Description: Who we are:
Preparing young people with skills for life. We're Scouts and everyone is welcome here. Every week, we help almost half a million people aged 4-25 develop skills for life. Are you ready to join the adventure?
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.
What are we looking for?
No previous experience with young people? No problem.
Whether you'd like to help out week-after-week or whenever-you-can, we provide learning opportunities and cups of tea – every step of the way.
We meet on Thursday evenings during term times in Crumpsall.
What would you be doing as a volunteer?
Our volunteers work directly with young people aged 6 to 14 through our groups, known as Sections, which are:
Beavers (age 6 - 8)
Cubs (age 8 - 11)
Scouts (age 11 - 14)
Working in teams, our volunteers might:
- Welcome young people and families to sessions and events
- Make sure everyone's safe, supported, included and having fun
- Help to plan and lead activities
- Get involved with days out, camps and expeditions
- Share and learn skills – from coding to cake decorating to canoeing
- Celebrate young people's achievements big and small
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.
All volunteers are offered skills training which is excellent for adding to your CV or job applications.
