Volunteering opportunities

We want to invite you to experience the fun and adventure that Scouting offers your children and the opportunity to make a difference by helping our Scout Group thrive.

We fully understand that you may not be able to help regularly but we do need your help to be able to run our Beaver / Cub /Scout/ Explorer nights successfully

At the moment, we are looking for help in the Beavers and Scout sections, it is struggling as we haven’t got the help needed so we can provide a good program. So we would be very grateful if you could spare a few hours on a Wednesday afternoon or a Friday evening to come and get involved with the Beavers or Scouts.

We could do a parent Rota if possible which means you can make a difference and help without having to do so every week, if lots of parents are on the Rota then your commitment may only be once or twice a month and you might enjoy the activities and events. The more parents we can get involved the more exciting our activities and events can be.

As a helper on the parent Rota, you will be asked to assist with hikes, badge work, and other activities. You will be guided by the leaders in the section and you will be a valuable part of the team. You will need to undertake a DBS check.

If you do have any questions, then please come and speak to one of us at the beginning or end of a session or Email GLV@CheritonScouts.org for more details.

We are also looking for a maintenance crew, to look after the hut. If you think you could spare a few hours a week please contact me on the numbers above.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yours in scouting

About us.

1st Cheriton Scouts is a non-profit youth organisation committed to giving young people the chance to learn new skills, build confidence, and take part in exciting adventures. As part of the UK Scout Association, we operate solely for the benefit of our members and our community.

We are run entirely by dedicated volunteers who give their time to plan and deliver safe, fun, and educational activities for children and young people. All money raised through membership fees, fundraising events, donations, and grants goes straight back into supporting Scouting. This includes maintaining our equipment, running our weekly sessions, funding camps and activities, and ensuring Scouting remains as affordable and accessible as possible.

Because we are a non-profit, every penny is carefully managed and reinvested into the programme. Our focus is always on providing the best possible experience for our young people and helping them develop teamwork, resilience, leadership, and a sense of community.

For any Question please email: GLV@cheritonscouts.org
