Remember the magic of discovering something for the very first time? You can be the person who makes that happen.
Our Beaver colonies (for boys and girls aged 6–8) are all about sparks, curiosity, and massive smiles. We are looking for fun, enthusiastic adults to help our youngest members try new things, make new friends, and take their very first steps into the great outdoors. From building cardboard box rockets to baking, campfire singing, and learning basic tracking, you’ll be helping them earn badges and grow in confidence.
We know life is packed, which is why we are 100% committed to flexibility. You do not need to commit to every single week. Whether you want to share the role with a friend (role-share), help out once or twice a month, or just run the creative/craft side of things, we can build a volunteering pattern that works around your job and family.
