Scouts Team Volunteers - 1st

We’re looking for enthusiastic, community‑minded volunteers to join the 1st Andover Scouts Team — a brilliant chance to support adventurous, determined young people aged 10½ to 14 as they learn new skills, build friendships and have fun.

Whether you’re a master of marshmallow toasting, handy in the kitchen, great with social media, or simply someone who turns up with a smile, you already have what it takes. Everyone is welcome, and everyone brings something special. Outdoors, camping, nature, teamwork — our Scouts enjoy it all, and the only thing missing is you.

You don’t need any prior Scouting experience. We’ll provide training, support… and marshmallows.

As a Scouts Team Volunteer, you’ll help create exciting, confidence‑building experiences for young people. Your contribution could include:

• Running team games
• Helping young people learn practical life skills
• Supporting outdoor adventures like camping or climbing
• Assisting with canoeing, kayaking or sailing (as this is a Sea Scouts group)
• Updating or supporting social media content

You’ll join a friendly, collaborative team who love working together to create great opportunities for young people. Training is fully provided, and you’ll be supported throughout.

The 1st Andover Scouts meet on Thursday evenings
, with all activities happening in a safe and structured environment.

• A willingness to get involved and try new things
• All other training is provided — no previous Scouting experience needed

• Training
• Ongoing support
• Marshmallows

• Will require a criminal record (DBS) check

This role is suitable for:

• Those who want to work indoors
• Those who want to work outdoors

Volunteers may take part in:

• Supporting young people with a wide variety of activities

• Helping with setup and tidy‑up each week

• Thursday
