Scout Fellowship
What is Scout Fellowship?
“I’d love to help, but I don’t have much time on my hands...”
It is a group of adults who have one thing in common – a wish to support Scouting. A Scout Fellowship welcomes men and women from 18 upwards, of all backgrounds and interests. There is no need to have had any prior involvement with the Scout or Guide movements; all that is required is a willingness to give some of your time to Scouting. In return you will make friends and be able to join with others doing whatever you decide. A Scout Fellowship has its own social and activity programme.
The aim of the Scout Fellowship is to “provide active support” with the emphasis being very much on supporting the youth programme in an active manner, at all levels of the Association from Scout Group level to National level.
What is “Active Support”
“We’re here to help...”
This encompasses almost anything, but it uses the talents of the Fellowship of all ages and abilities, whether it is physical, mental, geared to a particular skill or just general support. It could be as a badge examiner, a Training Adviser to new leaders, catering for District events, running pioneering courses, assisting with hillwalking or other adventurous activities. There will be something that you will be able to offer as far as supporting Scouting is concerned whatever your age or ability.
The Scout Fellowship is a large part of the backbone of the Scout Movement – supporting the young people and voluntary leaders whenever help is required. They are flexible and available to help.
Scout Fellowships also have their own social programmes which include rambles, visits to places of interest, quiz nights and many more.
