About
Every week Scouts give almost half a million 4-25 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.
Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.
About Basingstoke East District Scout Council
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to volunteer…
We’ve already got one Chief Scout, and he’s brilliant. What we need now are smilers and inspirers, activity planners and Zoomers – all round team players to support our young people.
The good news is you shape what you do and decide how much time you give. Scouts happens when a lot of us give a little (and no, you don’t have to be a Scout or outdoors expert to volunteer).
Scouts is needed now more than ever. Having people positive role models to guide the way, and give that extra bit of encouragement is so important to everyone. We help young people step up, speak and find their place in the world. We help them gain skills for life.
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
Whether you join us to directly support young people, or behind the scenes, as a lead volunteer, treasurer or fundraiser, we’ll match you with a role that suits the skills you have to share and those you’d like to gain.
No two weeks are the same, but the impact you make is always great.
