The 1st Wincanton Scout Group is appealing for volunteers to join this happy band and help the group continue to flourish.

The organisation is run by volunteers who work with young people aged between six and 14 in the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from Wincanton and the surrounding villages. Over the past few years a number of key volunteers have stepped away and now the group needs new helpers to come forward.

There are a number of roles available depending on time commitments, which will allow volunteers to step in and become involved in the running of the group.

A spokesperson said: “Whether you join us to directly support young people, or behind the scenes, as a volunteer manager, chairperson or fundraiser, we’ll match you with a role that suits the skills you have to share and those you’d like to gain. Training is provided for all the roles by the Scout Association and the good news is you shape what you do and decide how much time you give. Scouting is incredibly rewarding, and you don’t need to be Bear Grylls to volunteer or have been a Scout yourself, just a few hours will make such a difference to our young people.”
