Scout leaders and Scout assistant leaders (SH)

Lead the Adventure – Volunteer with Bagshot Scouts!

Do you believe in giving young people the skills they need for life? Whether you have a few hours a week or just an occasional evening, Bagshot Scout Group is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join us as Scout Leaders and Assistant Leaders.

We offer fun, challenge, and everyday adventure to both girls and boys – and volunteering with Scouts is just as rewarding for adults. It’s a brilliant way to build friendships, develop new skills, and give back to your local community, all while having a great time.

What’s involved:

• Supporting or leading weekly sessions for children and young people (aged 6–18, depending on the section)

• Helping plan and run activities such as games, outdoor challenges, crafts, and camps

• Encouraging confidence, teamwork, and leadership in young people

• Taking part in group events, trips, and community projects

You can give as much or as little time as you like. Some people help out weekly, while others support monthly or just at events. We’ll help you find a volunteering pattern that works around your family, work or studies.

What skills do I need?
