East Grinstead District Scouts

Scouting relies on adult volunteers to keep things running for our 550+ young members in East Grinstead, without the time that adults volunteer we simply couldn’t keep things going. That is why are always looking for more adults who are willing to donate a few hours a week to help in numerous roles ranging from administrative, financial, management and of course program support and leadership. In return you get the satisfaction of time and effort well spent. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to meet new people learn new skills and gain useful experience. And its Fun! We provide a full and comprehensive training program, so you don’t need experience in Scouting or working with young people, but all appointments are subject to a full CRB check. So if you fancy taking on a new challenge, and are able to give a few hours to help Scouting in your local area, please email volunteering{at}egscouts.org(.)uk
