Scouting Opportunities in West Somerset District

We rely on volunteer help - be it uniformed Leaders at all levels, behind the scenes
workers, fund raisers, committee members, instructors and so on. Usually the number
of youngsters wanting to join Scouting exceeds the places available. Having additional
Leaders/adult helpers in a Section means that the Section can allow more youngsters
to join. (Maximum ratios of youngsters to adults is laid down by the Scout Association
for the various sections).

It can be very fulfilling working with young people; helping them to work together as
a team; showing them how to cook a meal; how to erect tents - the list is almost
endless. Free training and uniform is provided for those adults who would like to
become warranted Members of the Scout Association in our District.
