Volunteer with Us
Week by week, our volunteers empower thousands of young people to learn new skills, make new friends and stand on their own two feet. They’re our everyday heroes. They shape young people’s lives for the better, and find out a whole lot about themselves in the process, too.
Today, there are nearly 60,000 young people on the waiting list to join us in the UK. We’re more relevant and more needed than ever, but it’s not always easy to keep up with the demand.
That’s where you come in.
You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand. We’re talking about tea makers, tidy-uppers and skill sharers. We’re talking about mini bus drivers and first aiders. We’re talking about students who want to boost their CV, and parents who volunteer so they can spend more time together as a family.
Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local town hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread a group of very hungry eleven year olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.
We provide the training. You show up, get stuck in, and make memories for life.
Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.
We would love you to join us. If you are interested in volunteering please get in touch stuart.credland@bassinghamscoutgroup.org.uk

Explorers
Reporting to:-
Lincoln District Explorer Lead
Bassingham’s very own T-Rex Explorer Unit is stomping along with a brilliant group of enthusiastic young people – but without new volunteers, our mighty dinosaur might become extinct!
Meeting just once every two weeks on a Friday evening during term time, and the Explorers are always up for adventure, challenges, and a good laugh. From campfires to community projects, they bring bags of energy and a great attitude.
What they're missing is YOU – someone who can help keep the fun alive. You don’t need to be an expert in survival skills, camping, or dino-wrangling. You just need a sense of humour, a willingness to get stuck in, and a couple of hours to spare twice a month. Training, support, and plenty of cups of tea are all provided!
By volunteering, you’ll be giving young people opportunities to grow in confidence, learn new skills, and make memories that last a lifetime. And who knows – you might discover talents you never knew you had (or finally master how to toast the perfect marshmallow!).
So, if you’re ready to help the T-Rex Explorers keep roaring, we’d love to hear from you. Come along, join the fun, and be part of something amazing right in Bassingham.
