Work with us.
Support us.
As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We bring communities together and contribute to society. Above all, we aim to build better futures.
That’s why we encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, over 460,000 young people enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed in life.
We exist to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, giving them a powerful sense of belonging and empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
Be part of something amazing.
Put your skills to use and learn new ones.
Give young people the skills they need to succeed in life and discover how being a part of the Scouting family can be as rewarding for you as it is for them.
If you live or work in the Peterborough area and would like to put something back into the community then please get in touch.
Whatever the role, extensive training and support are available.
Got a question?
Do I really have the skills you need?
You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls to get involved with Scouting. Do you have first aid knowledge? Are you good with numbers? Handy in the kitchen? Or are you a DIY whizz? We all have useful skills and you can volunteer and help in many ways.
What if I don't have that much spare time?
Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. Whether you help out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events or camps, there is bound to be a role you can play, and no matter how you get involved, we'll make sure you're properly trained and supported.
What will I get out of volunteering?
As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers the chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. A study found that over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives.
My child is in Scouting - is there anything I can do to help?
The short answer is yes. Many of our helpers and leaders are parents of our youth members because they’ve seen firsthand how Scouting benefits young people and want to give something back. It’s also a chance to spend more time with your children and learn new skills. Speak to your child’s leader to discuss how you might become involved.
Are there any age restrictions on helping out?
As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. If you are aged between 14 to 18, there is the option of becoming a Young Leader.
