Volunteer With Us
Scouting only happens because of volunteers. Whether you have two hours a week or two hours a month, there is a role that will suit you — and no previous Scouting experience is needed.
We currently have the following vacancies:
Chairperson — Trustee Board
Lead our Group Executive Committee, chairing quarterly meetings and supporting the strategic direction of the group. This is a governance role, not a hands-on leadership role.
What we’re looking for:
- An interest in the development of young people
- Experience of chairing meetings or committee work
- No Scouting experience required — full induction provided
Scout Section Team Member
Help plan and deliver our Scout programme (ages 10½–14), working alongside the section team on Thursday evenings and occasional weekend activities. This is a great entry point into volunteering — you don’t need to take on a leadership role straight away.
What we’re looking for:
- Enthusiasm and reliability
- Good communication with young people
- No experience needed — full training provided by the Scout Association, including a nationally recognised youth work qualification
A genuine perk: as a Sea Scout volunteer you’ll have the opportunity to get out on the water at our Brundall waterbase — sailing, canoeing, and paddleboarding — with the chance to train as a paddlesports or sailing instructor through British Canoeing and RYA pathways. If you’ve ever wanted to get on the water, this is a great way to do it.
