🌟 Could you spare a little time to help local young people thrive?

The 6th Lewes Scout Group is looking for volunteers to support their growing Beaver, Cub and Scout sections.

You don't need any previous Scouting experience. The group welcomes people from all walks of life, and volunteering is flexible, fully supported and can fit around busy schedules.

By getting involved, you'll help local young people build confidence, learn new skills, make friends and discover what they're capable of. You might even surprise yourself with what you can achieve too!
