We need help with planning programmes, youth leadership, administration, behind-the-scenes support, equipment & site maintenance, trusteeship & adult leadership, communications & publicity, and more.

With 13 Groups across Shropshire Severn and Teme Scout District alone, we'll always be able to find an opportunity near you!
