We believe all young people have the right to an adventure. This could be a
Beaver Scout spending their first night away from home or an Explorer Scout
going on their first international expedition, but adventure is at the heart of
what we do. From abseiling down a cliff to zorbing on a lake and lighting a fire
to paddling on the beach – Scouting is all about everyday adventure. Our members
participate in some of the most varied activities imaginable; all while having
fun and learning how to get the most out of life. Every section has different
activities; meet at different times and in different places. There’s always
something different, exciting and new going on. As part of a movement with over
30 million members worldwide the opportunities are almost endless. We change
lives by offering 6 to 25 year olds fun and challenging activities, unique
experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a
positive impact in communities. Scouting in Greater Manchester East helps
children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouting develops skills
including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning,
communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young
people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world. So… what do our
volunteers do? This everyday adventure is possible thanks to our adult
volunteers, who support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly
with young people, to helping manage a Group, to being a charity Trustee. We
help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by providing
opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship. Our award-winning
training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as
young people. Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering
with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout
volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work
or personal life.
