Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers. Today we celebrate mothers of all types, in name, in spirit or in all of the work you do to support young people in so many ways!!

Happy Mothers Day

Today we’re celebrating all the incredible mother‑figures who support, guide and cheer on young people every day.

To the mums, grandmas, aunts, sisters, mentors, step‑mums, foster mums and anyone who’s ever offered care and encouragement — thank you. Your strength and kindness make such a difference. 💜🌸

We're on the lookout for passionate individuals who want to help steer the direction of Scouting locally, and you don’t need to be a Scout to get involved.

We’re inviting fresh perspectives and diverse voices to join our 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗯-𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 (𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀), bringing a wide range of skills and experiences to the table. Whether you're a seasoned professional or simply someone who cares deeply about creating opportunities for young people, your insight could be transformative.

We’re especially keen to hear from those outside of Scouting who are enthusiastic and want to make a difference.

Might you, or someone you know, be a great fit? Then apply today or share this opportunity through your networks, noticeboards, or workplace channels.
