• VO104245

The Scouts are a registered charity that aims to actively engage and support young people in their
personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. Through fun,
challenge, and adventure, Scouting helps young people build confidence, resilience, and practical life skills
while promoting teamwork, leadership, and community values.
Describe the volunteering Opportunity
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join the 32nd Glasgow Scout Group in Kirkintilloch. Volunteers
help support weekly meetings, plan and run exciting activities, assist with camps and outdoor adventures,
and contribute to the smooth running of the group. Whether you have specific skills to share or just enjoy
working with young people, you’ll be helping to make a real difference in your local community.

Experience required

Good communication skills, reliability, and enthusiasm are key. Experience working with young people or
organising activities is helpful but not essential. Creativity, teamwork, and a willingness to get involved and
learn are the most valuable qualities. Full induction, training, and ongoing support are provided through the
Scouts’ volunteer training programme.

Travel details

The opportunity is based at the 32nd Glasgow Scout Hall, Kirkintilloch. Meetings are usually held weekly at
the hall or nearby outdoor venues. The hall is easily accessible by local public transport, and there is
parking available nearby. Travel expenses can be reimbursed in line with Scout Association policy
