Be one of the 1st - Want to be help out?

There are loads of ways you can help out at the scouts. You will get a chance to try lots of different activities, assist in training, running games and socialise with other westenders. You will get a sense of reward you are unlikely to get from day-to-day work.

What would I do?

You decide what section you think you can best help out taking into account your time and experience. Simply being present to take scores in a game is welcome ! There is no common background to our present leaders. They all bring their enthusiasm and experience to the group.

Beaver Scouts - play lots of games, make friends, make things with paper and glitter and learn to help mummy and daddy. Beaver Scouts meet once a week from 6pm to 7.30pm and are the easiest troop to help out with. This section has an enthusiastic leader with lots of experience to keep things going.

Cub Scouts - again play lots of games, activities are more challenging, do activities in groups. We have lots of games for cubs to play

Scouts - the scouts programme is centred around the monthly camping programme. The troop has material for running activities which may be spread over a month. Cooking is popular as we have an excellent kitchen.

Child Safety

The well-being of scouts of all sections is a primary concern. Adult helpers will need to gain a Disclosure Scotland certificate. This is now not as daunting as it was in the previous two years and is fairly straightforward and the section leaders will prepare the documents for you.
