Adult Volunteers

3rd Heswall Scout Group is a non-profit registered charity, and as such is run entirely by a dedicated team of unpaid lead volunteers, administrators, skills instructors, role models, and helpers.

Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it.

Have you got great fundraising skills? Could you help us build a fire pit? Would you like to help out at meetings? Could you do a show and tell session? Could you share and teach skills – from coding to cake decorating to first aid?

We also welcome anyone who wishes to fulfil the volunteering criteria required to count toward the completion their DofE Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.
