Getting Involved

Volunteers are the backbone of Scouting. Our Group is a registered charity and we can only continue to thrive in future with the support of our young members and their families.

We are run solely by volunteers who donate their time as helpers, leaders and members of the Executive Committee in order to enhance the lives of young people in Bishop's Stortford.

Volunteer leaders, assistants and helpers

We're always grateful for extra support, even if you can only help out occasionally when more hands are needed, for example during hikes, day trips or camps.

 For those who are able to help on a more regular basis, our volunteer section leaders and assistants help plan and deliver the weekly sessions. In these roles you can expect to receive a variety of training and one-to-one support to help our volunteers make the most use of their individual skills and talents.

The Group Executive

The Group Executive committee meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for managing the affairs of the Group as a whole including:
