Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering at ScotJam is an amazing opportunity to be part of something special.  You’ll get to work with a fantastic team, meet awesome people from across Scotland, and contribute to unforgettable experiences.  

There are a range of different volunteering opportunities available before and during the event - see Adult Volunteer Roles for more information.  All Adult Volunteers are required to agree to and follow our Code of Conduct. 

We welcome applications from anyone holding an adult role and is currently active in Scouting.  All adult volunteers must meet the requirements outlined below.  

If you’d like to join the Adult Volunteer Team, please complete the application form below.  

Once your application has been submitted the team at Scouts Scotland will review it to ensure that you meet the requirements below, we will then determine the best role within our team for you.  If you’re new to the ScotJam Volunteer Team we may arrange to have a ‘Welcome Conversation’ with you prior to confirming your role within the team.  We will respond to all applications as soon as possible.  

All successful volunteers will be invited to our Adult Volunteer Team Weekend, which takes place at Scout Adventures Lochgoilhead on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th May 2025.  We strongly encourage all successful volunteers to attend, as we use this weekend for learning and preparation.
