As the number of young people joining Scout groups across The Chalfonts continues to rise, local chapters have banded together to appeal for more volunteers.
Buckinghamshire Scouts have launched an appeal for anyone who might be interested in volunteering, especially those happy to work with Squirrel Scouts aged between four and seven and Explorer Scouts aged between 14 and 17.
They also need people willing to help maintain a Scout group’s headquarters, or those who can help with a group’s finances.
Nigel Taylor, lead volunteer for Buckinghamshire Scouts, said: “There are plenty of roles working with children aged four to 17, managing people, looking after the group’s equipment, or being a trustee.
“Whatever skills you have, we can find you a role. However, you might want to try something different, and we can arrange that for you.”
Adult volunteer Samantha Fabbro said: “I began volunteering with Beavers but then decided to go out of my comfort zone, so I volunteered to take 36 Explorer Scouts to a World Scout Jamboree.
“I had never slept in a tent before and had to get used to it. I wouldn’t change any of that experience; it was just brilliant.”
