Join our Volunteer Team – Even the Smallest Jobs Make a Big Difference

At 224 North London Scouts, our leaders give a lot, but we can’t run great sessions, camps, and events without help from parents and carers.

We’ve broken down the key jobs into easy micro-tasks. Some take just a few minutes at pick-up or drop-off. Others you can do from home. If you can spare a little time now and then, we’d love to hear from you.

So whether it’s once a term or once a week, your time makes a huge difference.

Not a parent of a young person in the group?

No problem at all – we’d still love your help! Whether it’s once a week, once a month, or even just once a year, we’ve got plenty of flexible volunteering opportunities. Let’s have a chat and see what might suit you.

Please email Del or Ronan if you’d like to get involved:
