Adult Volunteering
Parent Support Committee
Scouts are a 100% volunteer organisation and we encourage parents and families to also get involved in Scouting. There are lots of ways to help out and we're always keen to have your involvement.
Parent Support Committee
Each Scout Group has its own Committee of Management called a Group Committee.
This generally consists of parents, adults and carers of youth members who, together, ensure the Leaders of the Group have the resources available to deliver a quality Scouting experience for its members.
The committee is responsible for supporting the delivery of Scouting in the Group, and the management of Group funding, property and equipment.
Group Committees normally meet once a month to discuss matters relevant to running the Group, and to maintaining the property and equipment.
