Over 100,000 adults are regularly involved in the UK as members of the Association and an estimated one million more are involved in a less regular way.

Leaders provide young people with exciting and challenging experiences and then help them use those experiences in their personal and social development. Leaders are encouraged to develop their own skills through formal and informal training experiences and sharing ideas with each other.

Skills Instructors help Leaders by training young people on specific activities or interests such as swimming, cooking, climbing, computers or crafts. Becoming a Skills Instructor takes up less time than being a Leader, but many people often find that the role of Skills Instructor is a good introduction to Scouting and go on to be Leaders. Becoming a Skills Instructor is also an excellent opportunity to complete service projects for schemes like the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.

Adults often find that becoming an occasional Helper or Supporter is a rewarding way of offering a little of their spare time. The exact function of Helpers and Supporters will vary locally but examples are as wide ranging as making drinks for Beaver Scouts to driving minibuses for Explorer Scouts

Besides all the other roles in Scouting, each Group, District and County will have a team of adults and young people who provide support chiefly with administration, and fund raising. These people take on the roles of Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary as well as any other role agreed upon locally. Again, training is available and people who take on these roles find that the training and experience they receive help them in their own personal development.

Scout Fellowship

Many Helpers and Supporters choose to join the Scout Fellowship, the Movement's 'active supporters club'. The Scout Fellowship not only helps Scouting locally but also usually enjoys an active social life. more...
