Whether you are a Network Member, parent of a child in Scouting, or someone who is totally new to Scouting you’ve come to the right place.
One of the biggest myths about Scouting is that Groups are closing down due to a lack of young people wanting to become Members. Nothing could be further from the truth; Scouting in the UK is a growing Movement and we currently have 30,000 young people on our waiting lists simply because we do not have enough adults to help out.
Scouting simply would not exist without the skills and enthusiasm of thousands of adult helpers. Whether you can spare two hours a week or a day a month, we need instructors, treasurers, administrators and volunteer managers and many others who share our aim of making life better for young people. You don’t need to know everything about Scouting - we’ll provide full training, induction and ongoing support. What matters is that you are committed, have a sense of humour and a huge amount of common sense.
Further resources are available on our national website where you can find more information:

To register your help with Scouting, please visit our National Scout Website* where you will be able to enter your details for somebody to contact you.
Once you enter your details into the web form, you will receive details of your local Scouting contact and your details are e-mailed to the District Commissioner. You will also receive a postcard sent direct to yourself from Gilwell Park.

Six weeks after your initial enquiry has been made, a follow up questionnaire will be sent to the you asking for feedback on the process and, most importantly, whether you have been successful in joining Scouting.
