VOLUNTEERING PAGE

Ever thought of volunteering?

Welcome to our Volunteering pages.

There are amazing opportunities for you to enjoy the fun of Scouting by helping out with 20^th Chiswick Scout Group. Get involved using skills you already have; maybe a first aider or a cook, or by giving instruction to young people on your favourite hobby or looking after a small group of young people on an occasional or regular basis.

Everyone has something to give. As well as working with young people, we have a number of behind-the-scenes roles. Volunteering can fit around you and your life and give something back to your community.

We offer training and skills that benefit you both as an individual and a volunteer. You will learn new skills that enhance your CV, discover adventure and make new friends.
