Volunteering with Scouts in Luton and South Bedfordshire - Give a Little, Change a Lot
Every week across the UK, more than 150,000 adults give their time to The Scout Association, helping nearly half a million young people gain skills for life.
In Luton and South Bedfordshire, our volunteers are doing just that – supporting young people to grow in confidence, resilience and kindness, while building a stronger local community.
Whether you can spare an hour a month or a couple of hours each week, volunteering with Scouts in Luton is flexible, meaningful and fun. From making drinks and organising kit, to leading a Beaver, Cub or Scout group, there’s a place for everyone – and no experience needed.
By volunteering with Scouts in Luton, you’re part of something bigger: a shared commitment to developing the next generation and giving back to your community, whatever your background or beliefs.
