VOLUNTEER
The good news is you shape what you do and decide how much time you give
Three great reasons to volunteer:
- You’ll share your skills and experience with young people, while developing yourself
- You’ll have fun and meet new people in your area
- You’ll inspire a generation (and they’ll never forget it)
What to expect:
- A warm welcome
- Flexibility to get involved in a way that works for you
- Easy access to training and resources online
- Plenty of support and a great team

It would be lovely if all Scout sections could fill
the hall, this term, with a 'Welcome All'
positivity message.
Posters, artwork, banners anything that
shows that our Group is open and
accessible to everyone and that people are
treated equally and with respect.

Our Store room has got into a pickle again so it would be great to make it more accessible to all.

Jon Massey has offered to be our new Quartermaster which should help keep the Stores well maintained going forward. All items will be listed on OSM and will need to be 'booked out'
