Volunteering

South Devon District Scouts are looking for adult volunteers to assist in leadership and background support roles. Put the “V” back into your CV.

Bear Grylls, Chief Scout recently said “One of my big missions is to encourage people across the UK who have the time, enthusiasm and ability, whatever it is, to put something back into their communities. It’s about a lot of people doing a little. I don’t want to hear any more about kids who can’t join because of a lack of leaders. We’ve got a brilliant, talented nation and I want some of that talent to be used to support young people”
