Join a winning team bringing skills for life in Totton.
We are looking for section leaders, assistant section leaders and sectional assistants to help with our young people but particularly Squirrels at Testwood Scout group.
They work with our young people bringing smiles and skills every week as part of a team.
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls or an expert to help – being an expert in shoe laces, fist bumps or making tea is enough to make you a great volunteer. Plus, volunteering is good for you – it gives you skills and helps beat feelings of loneliness.
In particular, we need helpers for Rowan Squirrel Drey, our 4-6 year old Scouts, who meet on a Monday evening after tea time.
Training and support
You’ll receive full training from the Scouts in what we need to do and the rules. The amount of training depends on the role but it is flexible and helps you in your role.
Plus there is a whole host of experience from within the group and district to help you make a difference. You will be supported to get started by our Training Advisors based in the district and Testwood’s Group Scout Leader.
Time commitment
We’re looking for team players so whatever time you have is useful to us! From an hour a week to an hour a month, it is all makes the difference to our young people.
If you’re not sure if volunteering is for you we suggest trying it for four weeks – by the end, you’ll know what is involved and if it’s for you.
