Volunteering

Volunteering with Scouts has many different roles.

Leaders run groups and are supported by Adult Helpers.
Leaders meet with the Group Leader once per term and wear uniform to weekly groups.
Adult Helpers join a group and support the Leader with set up of activities etc where required.

An invaluable component of our operational ability, our Adult Helpers are an essential part of many of our activities helping to provide transport to all sorts of events, while also participating in camps and more adventurous outdoor activities, allowing us to safely run our program in a fun and exciting way.

This role is ideal for those parents/adult helpers who are only able (or willing) to contribute occasionally to our activities, rather than committing to a regular weekly slot.

We also need additional support in our Group Committee, whose role it is to support our Kaiarahi and youth members, with fundraising, building maintenance and more.

Please note that there are a few steps to signing up as an Adult Helper. This is because of our desire to keep our Youth Members safe from harm. Generally we like you to talk to a senior member of the group first, about your interest. Additionally, Scouts Aotearoa may require references from you, and you will also need to undergo a New Zealand Police Service vetting/background check.
