Our Leaders
Scouting is run by volunteers. Our teams of leaders are identified by their uniforms which includes our orange and white necker.
All of our leaders undergo the mandatory training they need to be the best they can be, including basic first aid and child protection. Special training is provided for those taking young people away on residential events like camps and sleepovers.
All our volunteers give their time freely to help young people thrive. Some volunteers lead their group week in and week out. Others call in occasionally to share a specific skill, or provide an extra pair of hands.
We also have strict rules in place to ensure that everyone who works with young people either regularly, on a night away activity or unsupervised has to be vetted and hold a satisfactory criminal records check.
