Every child has the right to an adventure. Life is about grabbing opportunities. The prizes don’t always go to the biggest, the best and the strongest – they go to those who persevere. These are simple life lessons that Scouting teaches. Scouting’s 500,000 members are an inspiration. It's great to see it. It's all about friendship and fun and adventure – people who might not normally have the chance for adventure. Scouts are shining lights in their communities

We are always seeking more support in our Beaver, Cub, Scout & Explorer sections. Whatever skills you can offer we would be pleased to hear from you! We appreciate that not everyone can commit on a regular basis and we are flexible to fit with whatever commitment you can offer. Full training will be given and there is always lots of help and support available from all our existing leaders. If you would like a chat, without any obligation, why not see what you can do for Scouting and see what Scouting can do for you?

The only thing missing from our team is you! No matter your skill set or time commitments. Not all roles require 'full uniform' but all will make a huge impact on young people lives and your own.
We run sections every night of the week but without our amazing volunteers we're unable to continue.
We have a wide and diverse team that bring different skill sets to the group, we have company directors, mechanics, office workers, police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses, bankers, catering and bar staff, warehouse workers, tradesmen & stay at home parents to name just a few occupations. They all bring such a different viewpoint to the group and its this attitude that makes us such a dynamic and over subscribed Scout Group in the area.
There are a number of benefits you can gain from volunteering. Spending time with your child, learning new skills and contributing to your local community are just a few of the reasons why our Current Leaders choose to spend some of their time in Scouting.

Alsager folks, details of this year’s Animal Safari, it would be lovely to have even more displays this year. Why not enter? It doesn’t need to be a big display, it could be a soft toy in a bedroom window!
