Scouts The Malverns are looking for help.
Trustees
Our Trustees are a team of volunteers who work together, as charity Trustees, to make sure the Scouts is run safely and legally. At the heart of their role is a focus on strategy, performance and assurance. We have a Trustee Board for the District and each of our Groups have their own Trustee Board.
Effective Trustees support enables other volunteers run the Scout programme that gives young people skills for life.
We know you are busy already, but don’t worry – you won’t need to come to Scouts every week, run a session, or give up all your free time. Typically, our Trustee Boards meet 5 times a year and conducts any other business by e-mail.
If you’re thinking about getting involved, please get in touch and we’ll provide you with further information regarding the role in our District or Groups.
To get in touch please email administration@scoutsmalvern.org.uk or volunteer@scoutsmalvern.org.uk by Tuesday 25th 2025 to let us know you are interested.
Adult Volunteers
Scouting’s quality depends on its volunteers and our volunteers depend on Scouting to teach them the skills they need. Our modular training scheme delivers the full spectrum of required skills. Volunteers can choose training modules that are relevant to the role that they do, ranging from leadership to running residential experiences and first aid.
Our training scheme was recognised with a National Training Award from UK Skills. It is one of the reasons why we have managed to increase our volunteer numbers over the past few years, against the national trend.
Over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives, so we’re certainly doing something right.
A study of volunteers found that more than two thirds of respondents reported a direct correlation between their volunteer experience within Scouting and gaining employment or career development.
Training in Scouting has also enabled volunteers to gain accreditation for Open College Network awards in Youth Work, and helped them to become associate members of the Institute of Leadership and Management and the Institute for Training and Occupational Learning.
We are always looking for Volunteers in The Malverns. If you think you may be to help as a Leader, Manager, Administrator, Trustee or just help, please don’t hesitate to get into contact with us. Just e-mail us on volunteer@scoutsmalvern.org.uk and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
