Got a big smile and a big heart? Love the idea of helping young children discover the world around them through fun, friendship, and adventure?
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Beaver Scouts team (ages 6–8) in Kirklevington. As a Beaver Leader, you’ll help create magical memories and essential life skills through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and teamwork. From building bug hotels to learning how to share and care – it’s all about sparking confidence and curiosity.
No experience? No problem! You bring the enthusiasm, we’ll bring the training and a brilliant, supportive team.
