Almost all adults in Scouting, including uniformed leaders, are volunteers. They give their time for free. But they are trained volunteers – the Scout Association has a thorough training programme that all Leaders undertake. All leaders have to undergo a full DBS check, supply personal references and be approved by an Adult Appointments Committee before their first appointment. Appointments are also subject to regular review and renewal and all leaders must also hold a valid first aid certificate.

Each section has its own leadership team and runs its own programme but there are close links between the sections. The Group Lead Volunteer, Robert, provides support for all the sections.  There are currently three leaders in the scout section but they could always do with more adult help.

Mark Cullen and Sorrel Talbot are our Scout Leaders , – working together as a team they run the Scout Section.

If you would like the opportunity to do something you’d never thought of doing, while having lots of fun and giving back to the community at the same time, please get in touch – we can always do with more leaders! You don’t have to be an expert in all-things-scouting – the only essential ingredient is wanting to have fun scouting!
