Get involved
Volunteer with us
Every meeting, camp and adventure happens because local people give their time. You don’t need Scouting experience, just a few hours and some enthusiasm.
Ways to help
A role for everyone
Whether you can give an evening a week or a few hours a term, there’s something to suit your skills and schedule.
Section leaders and assistants
Help plan and run weekly meetings, camps and trips with one of our five sections.
Occasional helpers
Lend a hand when you can: an evening activity, a camp kitchen, or sharing a skill or hobby.
Trustees and committee
Help the group run smoothly behind the scenes, from finances and fundraising to our meeting place.
Skills and admin
Photography, social media, IT, kit and equipment, or keeping our records in order.
Why volunteer?
Good for them, good for you
Volunteering is a chance to give young people in Lisburn the confidence and skills to succeed, and to have fun outdoors while you’re at it.
You’ll make friends, learn new skills and gain recognised training that can support your own development. Many of our volunteers are parents; plenty aren’t.
How it works
Getting started
Get in touch
Email us and we’ll arrange an informal chat about what you’d like to do and how much time you have.
Come and see
Visit a meeting to meet the team and see what a typical evening looks like.
Vetting and references
Like all Scout volunteers in Northern Ireland, you’ll complete an AccessNI criminal record check and provide references where your role requires it.
Training and support
The Scouts provides free training, including safeguarding and safety, and our leaders will support you as you get started.
