This International Youth Day we need volunteers – just like YOU! 👍
Each week we help hundreds of young people in North Tyneside, Newcastle and all the way across Northumberland and up to Berwick have fun, try new things, make new friends and stand on their own two feet.
Why do we do it? It’s simple. It’s great fun! We get to learn new skills and we make memories for life. 🤩
But we need more volunteers. We have a record number of young people on waiting lists. More than 100,000 young people await a place. Volunteers are at the heart of the Scout Movement. UK-wide our volunteer numbers continue to rise. The more volunteers that join Scouts, the more young people can experience the life changing opportunities we offer.
We have groups across Northumberland who need a helping hand to be able to deliver #SkillsForLife to more young people in our area.
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent ….whatever your skillset, you can lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare.
From helping at a one-off event, to giving a couple of hours a month to help with tasks like administration or building maintenance, to getting involved in helping to run activities or becoming a skills instructor. We promise you’ll get more out than you put in.
Did you know being a scout volunteer is fun and rewarding and all our volunteers are provided with training to undertake their roles. Volunteering with the Scouts gives adults a chance to develop new skills and friendships.
