Volunteer vacancies

These are the specific roles we're looking to fill right now. You don't need any Scouting experience — we provide all the training, cover your PVG check, and you'll always be part of a team. Not sure which is right for you? Just pick the one closest and we'll have a chat.

12 open roles across 7 teams — 3 we need most

Prefer no weekly commitment? Trustee Board or Behind the scenes roles are remote/flexible, in your own time.
