Caterham Adult Volunteers - District Scouts

Adult Volunteers

The Scouts are the biggest mixed youth organisation in the UK.

What It Is Like To Be An Adult Volunteer

You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls to get involved with Scouting. Do you have first aid knowledge? Are you good with numbers? Handy in the kitchen? Or are you a DIY whizz? We all have useful skills and you can volunteer and help in many ways.

Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. Whether you help out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events or camps, there is bound to be a role you can play, and no matter how you get involved, we’ll make sure you’re properly trained and supported.

As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers the chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. A study found that 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.

Where We Are

Skills for Life in Caterham & District

Caterham District Scouts nestles between London and Surrey, offering adventure and skills to young people across Caterham, Chaldon, Hamsey Green, Warlingham, Whyteleafe, and Woldingham.

We are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. From our youngest Squirrels to our adventurous Explorers, we help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright. Whether it is camping, hiking, kayaking, or simply making new friends, our 11 groups provide an active programme tailored to every ability.

Scouting in our district isn’t just about the outdoors; it is about teamwork, resilience, and community. We facilitate safe, fun environments where young people (aged 4–18) can discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

Part of the Surrey Scout County, our District has a rich history of serving the local community. Today, we consist of 11 diverse groups and multiple Explorer units, bringing together hundreds of young people from the lively towns of Caterham and Warlingham to the quiet villages of Chaldon and Woldingham.
