Put your skills to use, learn new ones and play an active role in your local community. Volunteering is easier than you think. With full support and training, you can volunteer on a flexible basis.

We are also in need of keen adults to join the Group’s Trustee Board to have their say in the way we run the group. Email the Group Chairman or Group Scout Leader for more information.
