Detailed description
Join the adventure! Beaver Scout Leaders needed at 6th Hitchin
Ever wanted to get paid in smiles and laughter?
6th Hitchin Scouts are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help lead our Beaver Scouts (ages 6-8) explore, play, and discover new skills – and shape the adults they'll become.
What’s involved?
We meet on a Tuesday (term time) 5:30-6:30 pm in Hitchin for an hour filled with games, crafts, and adventures – both indoors and outdoors. You will help Beavers work towards activity badges that contribute to their Bronze Award, giving them a real sense of achievement.
We work on a flexible rotation system, so you can choose the commitment that works for you – from weekly attendance to once every three weeks.
We offer a wide range of activities to suit all abilities and interests.
After a chat to understand your strengths and any considerations, we’ll match you to activities where you’ll thrive.
Even better, you can help shape our programme by bringing your own childhood passions and interests to life for a new generation!
Why volunteer with 6th Hitchin?
Spending time with our energetic Beavers is the ultimate mood-booster. You’ll rediscover your sense of play, step away from daily stress, and be part of a supportive team that genuinely cares about each other.
Plus, you’ll develop skills that look brilliant on any CV: leadership, activity planning, safeguarding training, teamwork, and the ability to herd 20 six-year-olds (if you can do that, you can handle anything!).
Full training provided – no previous experience needed, just enthusiasm and a willingness to join in the fun.
Ready to make Tuesday evenings a highlight of your week?
Keeping everyone safe
The safety of young people is our top priority. All Beaver Leader roles require a DBS check (criminal record check), which we will help you complete online before you start.
If you have any questions about this, just chat to us – we are here to help and assess each situation individually.
