Join us

The form below is for those wishing to join Scouts or support us an adult volunteer. Please submit a separate form for each person you wish to join.

We have an active Beaver Colony for boys and girls aged 6-8, a Cub Pack for boys and girls aged 8-10½ and a Scout Troop for young people aged 10½-14.

Currently our Beavers meet on Wednesday evenings 6:30-7:30pm; Cubs meet on Thursday evening 6:30-8pm; our Scouts meet Fridays 6:30-8:30pm. We generally meet in Kincladie Woods March-November, and indoors (typically Dunning Village Hall) through the winter. Fees are £20 per term, although there is a fund to offer financial support for subscriptions and trips away - we don't want finance to be a barrier to joining in (contact the GSL - Nathan).

We also have an Explorer Scouts Unit in Dunning (who currently meet at 6:30pm on Friday evenings), and we support Young Leaders (aged 14-17) helping and inspiring each of our Scout sections.

All parents are encouraged to support Scouting sessions and events, and we are very supportive of adults who wish to volunteer as leaders or support the Group as a trustee.

If you are interested in Squirrels (4-5) or Network (18-25), please look up the Scouts directory at scouts.org.uk/join for your nearest group.

Please note that we currently have a wait list. We prioritise children according to time on the list, home location, child's school and family involvement in Scouting - see our wait list policy for more information.

Volunteering

Our Scout Group in Dunning is run entirely by volunteers. We expect all parents to support their child and some of our Group's activities throughout the year, but we really need adults to offer at least 2 hours each month in a variety of volunteer roles.

The formal roles of Section Volunteer (Leader) or Trustee are defined at https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/volunteer-experience/changes-to-teams-and-roles/teams/, but we also need ad-hoc support with tasks such as:

  • Help with fundraising
  • Organising social events
  • Editing newsletters
  • Maintenance of our activity and storage venues
  • Talks or demonstrations relating to your profession or interest

Note: If you (as a parent/carer) are interested in supporting the Scout Group as a volunteer leader (in a Section or the Group) or as a Trustee, not only would it support your child and your local community directly, you will move your child to the top of the wait list.
