Join the Movement: Volunteer with Leicestershire Scouts and Make a Difference
Leicestershire Scouts are calling for passionate individuals to join their growing network of volunteers, providing young people with essential life skills and unforgettable experiences. From outdoor adventure to leadership and teamwork, Scouting offers young people the chance to develop resilience and confidence in a supportive environment.
The ASH Legacy—a generous donation from local Scouting volunteers—has been instrumental in creating new opportunities for both young people and adult volunteers in the region. This legacy continues to inspire the local community to come together and make a positive impact.
One such example is the dedication of a local leader. They shared:
“I started helping at Scouts because it was going to be shut down. I loved Scouts when I was younger and didn’t want my brother to miss out on something I remember fondly. Even after he leaves to go onto Explorers, I am looking to keep taking the Scouts sessions. As I hope to have the same positive impact on their childhood as Scouting had on mine.”
This sentiment is echoed by many volunteers who find that the benefits of giving back are far-reaching. In addition to helping young people grow, volunteers experience personal growth themselves, gaining valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, and communication. Many also find that volunteering fosters a deep sense of gratitude, whether it’s for the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves or the fulfilment of watching a young person succeed.
Another volunteer from a different group, expressed:
“Volunteering has taught me so much about myself. It’s a chance to grow personally, while also giving back to a community that has supported me. I’m constantly inspired by the young people I work with and the difference we can make together.”
If you’re looking for a chance to make a lasting impact and experience growth both personally and professionally, Leicestershire Scouts offers numerous opportunities. Whether you’re leading a group or supporting behind the scenes, every volunteer plays a key role in keeping Scouting alive and thriving for future generations.
