It improves your wellbeing, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends (and memories).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Week by week, volunteers empower thousands of young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet.&nbsp; They shape young people\u2019s lives for the better and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there are nearly 60,000 young people on the waiting list to join us in the UK. We\u2019re more relevant and more needed than ever, but it\u2019s not always easy to keep up with the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That\u2019s where you come in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don\u2019t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don\u2019t even need to know how to put up a tent.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we\u2019re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We\u2019re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We\u2019re talking about mini bus drivers and first-aiders. We\u2019re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your skill set, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you\u2019ll get more out than you put in.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because whether you\u2019re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven-year-olds \u2013 no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide the training. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-scout-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background\" id=\"i-m-in-sign-me-up\">I\u2019m in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writtlescoutgroup.org.uk\/index.php\/about\/contact-us\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"94\">Sign me up.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s #GoodForYou.
