Scouting for Talent
As a voluntary organisation, we rely on people like you to help us provide memorable experiences for young people. No matter what your skills or background, you can help inspire and provide skills for life to children in your area, make new friends, and have fun yourself in the process.

At the moment, we’ve got a range of positions within the 4th Braintree Scout Group that we’re looking to fill. Please note that you don’t have to have a child in the scout group to help with one of these positions
