Volunteer – Adult Volunteers 18+

Come along and help local children develop skills for life.  If you would like more information on joining please use our contact form or email: info@praguescouts.cz

You can decide how much or little time you wish to give and which age range you work with. There are four age ranges (sections) in a Scout Group: Beaver Scouts 6 – 8 years, Cub Scouts 8 – 10.5 years, Scouts 10.5 – 14 years, Explorer Scouts 14 – 18 years.

As part of a leadership team, you will help plan, organise and deliver a balanced programme of activities, events and experiences, based around three main themes: outdoor and adventure, skills and world. In each section, a range of badges and awards support all aspects of Scouting, including leadership, teamwork and personal development.

Why volunteer?
