Volunteer with 1st St Ives

Make a little time.
Make a big difference.

Help someone try, smile and say “I can”. You don’t need to know every knot. Bring your curiosity - we’ll help you find your feet.

There’s more than one way to help

Find something that fits you.

Get stuck in with a section

Help young people enjoy activities, build confidence and try something new. Share the fun with a team of volunteers.

Keep things moving

Planning, organising, looking after equipment or helping with fundraising - the things behind the scenes make the adventures possible.

Share what you love

Cooking, coding, gardening or making music? Tell us about your interests and how much time you’d like to give.

A team around you.

You don’t need to have been a Scout. We’ll talk about your interests, explain what’s involved and help you explore a role that suits you.

Volunteers have support and learning for their role. Relevant roles involve joining checks and safeguarding learning, so young people can enjoy Scouts safely.
