Romsey District Scouts

Scouting runs through the goodwill, time and energy of over 100,000 volunteers in the UK. Here in the Romsey area, we’ve got a wide range of opportunities for adults to get involved in running our Scouting activities for young people – and to have fun as they are involved!

The most visible volunteers are our leaders and section assistants who run section evenings every week. In addition, they may organise events, camps and other activities for their children to participate in. Volunteers have access to a wide range of training materials – and even if you can’t get involved every week, there’s a space for you.

Our leaders are also backed up by other volunteers who help with the administration, finance, building and equipment maintenance of their local groups. For example, our quartermasters check that local group equipment is in a good state of repair and talk to their leaders and assistants about their equipment needs. Treasurers, Chairs and Secretaries work on the local executive committee running each group.

In addition, we have other volunteers doing work in publicity, membership records, and supporting district wide activities such as canoeing or coordinating adult training.

Basically, if you have time to volunteer, or a skill to offer, we can make use of it! In the first instance, get in contact with your local Group Scout Leader .
