Adults play an important role in Scouting and we are always looking for some fresh faces to get involved and share ideas. While we have Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, we are also looking for Venture Scouters to join our Group.
Anyone can become a leader, regardless of previous experience as there is training provided. It is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills but to also make new friends along the way.
