Help Us Out
Volunteering
Scouting relies on volunteers to help run each of the sections. Every adult and young person leading the groups is a volunteer. No one is paid for any of the work they do.
If you can help, however much time you are able to give, we’d love you to get in touch – you might even enjoy it as much as your child!
There are different options for volunteering:
- Sections: volunteer with our young people as a leader/ assistant leader / helper / young leader (14-18 year olds).
- Trustees: the trustees ensure the smooth running of the organisation and give extra support to group camps etc. There are positions of Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Committee member. We hold an AGM in June/July every year when these positions are re-elected.
To find out more about volunteering opportunities, please contact us.
Donations and Fundraising
11th Edgware Scouts is a charity and as such, rely on Membership Fees and donations in order to support our group. Membership Fees are kept as low as possible in order that as many young people as possible are able to take part in our activities. 11th Edgware never turn any young person away from taking part in activities due to financial circumstance.
Grants and Trusts
Help us apply to a local Grant or Trust giving body.
In 2021, we have had generous grants from:
