It’s great to find activities where the whole family can get involved. Scouting involves boys and girls – and their siblings and parents too.
There are a number of ways in which parents of youth members can get involved:
Be a parent helper, volunteering for duties such as Scout hall set up or clean up.
Raise funds for the Scout Group, through fundraising events and activities or grant seeking.
Become an active member of the Group Committee, which assists the Group Leader and Group Council and promotes the aims and principles of Scouting in conjunction with the Group.
Serve as an office bearer on the Group Committee (Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Trustee).
Serve on a sub-committee to undertake duties defined by the Group Leader or Group Committee.
