Volunteering with the 26th Bournemouth
At the 26th, we always welcome anyone that is interested in volunteering with us, as well as any parents too young member that may like to join our parent rota .
Whether you are already in Scouting, work with children, have just moved to the area, or just fancy trying something new, we would be delighted to have you on board! We especially love it when our volunteers have a particular passion or skill which they would like to share.
​
As a group, we support and encourage all of our volunteers, whether you can volunteer just once a term or every week… even if you want to become a fully trained leader (which would be SUPER)!
​
If you are doing your DofE, helping out with a Scout group is a great way to achieve your ‘volunteering’ section and we would welcome you at the 28th too.

Other Ways to Help...
We know that working with children isn’t for everyone, but we also welcome anyone that may be interested in being a member of our committee, who help run our group from ‘behind the scenes’. So if you have any experience or interest in programme design, policy implementation, taking minutes, administration and eating biscuits, we may welcome you too!
