Melrose Scouts are looking for new volunteers.
Demand for Scouting by young people has grown across the Melrose Scout Group with a 22% increase yoy in young people taking part in Scouting.
Melrose Scouts has a youth waiting list of 25. This is mostly for Cubs (aged 8-10).
Example roles which need support by local communities - Section Leaders and Assistant Section leaders. These are the most accessible roles available in Scouting.
The total number of young people in the Borders Scout District is 71 and the total number of adult volunteers is only 10.
13 Top Awards have been issued to Young people aged 4-25 including the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Queen’s Scout Award (now King’s Scout Award) and Chief Scout Awards – all these build their confidence, resilience and develop essential employability skills.
Melrose Scouts (male and female) enables young people to develop leadership and the skills they need in life if that be as part of their CV, at University, in future employment or simply to improve the quality of their lives.
