Volunteers are needed to help out with a local Scout Group.
Buckinghamshire Scouts says it has seen an increased demand for children and young people to learn "skills for life".
They have a wide range of opportunities available: these include volunteering with Squirrels (boys and girls aged 4 and 5), and Explorers (boys and girls aged 14 to 17); keeping the Group HQ in good condition; or managing the Group’s finances. Some of the activities children take part in range from archery to holding birds of prey, cooking to hiking, science to sleepovers, and first aid to overseas expeditions.
There are plenty of roles working with children aged 4 to 17, managing people, looking after the Group’s equipment or being a trustee.
Cub Scout Amelia Doyle said, “I’d never been camping before, but the adults ensured we had a brilliant time. We helped to pitch the tents and then we had a game followed by hot chocolate. On Saturday, we did some science experiments, cooked on a real fire, and had a sing-song around the campfire. On Sunday, we had a water fight and did some climbing. The whole weekend was terrific.”
