WELCOME!
When new volunteers first join Scouts, their Team Leader or Lead Volunteer will be in touch regularly in the first few weeks. They’ll explain how Scouts works, discuss the time the new volunteer has available, agree on tasks, share the safe scouting cards, and outline the learning they’ll need to complete. All new volunteers also have to complete key vetting and safeguarding checks.

As a new volunteer you will be added to our membership system My Membership and guided through the actions you must take - including completing a Criminal Records Check and securing references.
