Volunteers are the heart of the Scouts and we want you to get every bit as much out of it as you put in. We know that Scouting is not only about young people, but also about the development of our volunteers. To support Scout volunteers, you are required to complete a training programme made up of mandatory, role-specific and ongoing learning. The training programme builds on your existing skills and knowledge and some elements count towards externally recognised awards.
Training
We provide our volunteers with the tools and tips to feel trained, supported and happy in your role. Discover the training to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies.

Awards and recognition
We want to thank all our volunteers for their contribution to Scouts – we know how important it is to recognise their brilliant achievements.
