The Scout Association is the UK's largest mixed youth movement. We offer activities, adventure and personal development opportunities to more than 400,000 young people and 100,000 adult volunteers.
We believe in helping young people grow in confidence and explore their potential as well as providing a range of adult volunteering opportunities.
There are five age ranges in Scouting:-
| Beaver Scouts | 6-8 |
| Cub Scouts | 8-10.5 |
| Scouts | 10.5-14 |
| Explorer Scouts | 14 -18 |
| Scout Network | 18-25 |
If you were to choose to volunteer, you can work directly with young people or in a support role as a team or an individual. Prior experience or a connection with Scouting is not necessary and we welcome people from different backgrounds.

Remember, you can decide how much or little time you give to Scouting
Volunteering for Scouting gives you the chance to try different activities, visit new places and learn and share skills. In doing so you will be making a positive difference to the lives of young people. From archery to canoeing, camping to drama, young people get the opportunity to try new things, explore their talents, develop their values and beliefs and make the most out of life.
