144th Glasgow Scout Group
Young Leader Application
For young people aged 13½ to 18 who want to help run Beavers, Cubs or Scouts as a Young Leader — whether you're one of our Explorers already or not in Scouts at all. It takes about ten minutes. You'll need a parent or guardian's email and phone number.
18 or over? You want the adult volunteer application instead.
Application sent — nice one
Thanks — we've got your application. A leader will be in touch soon, and we'll copy your parent or guardian into everything we send. The next step is usually a quick chat with you both, then we'll sort out which section you'll help with and get you set up.
As you're 16 or over, we'll also need your ID for your PVG check. When you're ready, send 3 documents (including at least one with your photo) using our document upload form — use the same email address you applied with. There's no need to apply again.
Already one of our Explorers? Feel free to mention it to your Explorer leader on Monday too.
What ID counts?
You need:
- ✔️ At least 1 ID with your photo
- ✔️ A total of 3 ID documents
Things that usually work:
- Passport
- Driving licence (provisional is fine)
- Young Scot / National Entitlement Card
- Birth certificate
- Bank or building society statement (last 3 months)
- A letter from your school or college
Every document needs to show your name, and at least one needs your date of birth. Not sure about one? Send it anyway, or ask us.
