Get involved #GoodForYou

What do volunteers do?

Week by week, our volunteers empower young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process. Join us, be a part of it, at Old Dalby we have a volunteer role for everyone. Volunteering with Scouts is flexible, fun and furthermore it's good for you.

We're running the 4 week challenge enabling new volunteers to come along over 4 weeks to see what we do, get involved and then decide if volunteering is for you.
