Adult Support

Scouting wouldn't be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers. Adults across the country give up countless hours to provide a programme that is fun and attractive for the scouts...and as a group you can never have too much help. The 18th are constantly looking for new volunteers who would like to put something back into the community. From as little as 30 minutes to 3 hours a week, you may be able to support our scouts and broaden their scouting opportunities.

So how exactly can you help? Read on...

Assistant Leader
Become an Assistant Leader and get involved with the week-to-week running of the colony, pack or troop. Take on responsibilities you are happy with as agreed by you and the section leader and help to deliver a varied, structured programme of activities and games for the scouts. If you’re enthusiastic, willing, and can work on initiative as part of a team, this may be the appointment for you.

Young Leader (Aged 14-18)
Become a Young Leader and be an important part of the team. Take on responsibilities that you are happy with whilst helping out under the supervision of the Section Leader. Learn and develop new leadership skills whilst using your youth and experience to build a good rapport with both the scouts and the leadership team. Become a respected individual who can work hard, but play hard too as an integral part of the colony, pack or troop. If you are looking for a new challenge or have aspirations to become a leader, this is definitely an appointment worth considering.

(Also counts as “Service” for the Duke of Edinburgh Award)

Helper/Assistant
Though helpers do not have a direct influence on the programme, they ensure that the programme on offer can be delivered effectively by taking on small tasks during the weekly meetings. Something as simple as setting up activities, refereeing games or supervising on trips are just a few of the common tasks delegated to Helpers/Assistants. If you’re happy to take on basic responsibilities but don’t want the burden of leadership, can work as part of a team and take part in activities then this may be the appointment for you.

Supporter
Though a supporter does not have any involvement in the weekly scout meetings their function is to support the scouts by providing a service. This service can take many forms, whether it’s administrative, financial, or influential. Supporters can take on outside responsibilities that would otherwise be left to leaders, such as letter writing, decision making and fundraising. If you would prefer not to be involved with the young people but can spare the time to help the scouts administratively or can help raise funds for new and exciting activities then this may be the appointment for you.
