Volunteering with Scouts

Come along and help local children develop skills for life. If you would like more information on joining please email us at: 23rdEnfieldScoutGroup@gmail.com

You can decide how much or little time you wish to give and which age range you work with. There are four age ranges (sections) in a Scout Group:

  • Squirrel Scouts (4 – 6 years)
  • Beaver Scouts (6 – 8 years)
  • Cub Scouts (8 – 10.5 years)
  • Scouts (10.5 – 14 years)
  • Explorer Scouts (14 – 18 years)

As part of a leadership team, you will help plan, organise and deliver a balanced programme of activities, events and experiences, based around three main themes: outdoor and adventure, skills and world. In each section, a range of badges and awards support all aspects of Scouting, including leadership, teamwork and personal development.

We also need adults to provide admin support and we have an active Scout Active Support Unit to help with events.
