Leading a group of children

Are you ready to create new stories? As a volunteer with Scouting, you’re doing a great job. You’re organising the most amazing experiences for the children – and for yourself. Experiences you’ll never forget. We promise. 

Every Saturday afternoon, together with a team of around five people, you organise an activity for children in a specific age group. Our young members are aged between five and eighteen. You’ll have fun with them, offer them challenges and adventures, and teach them to work together and respect one another. As well as the regular activities, you’ll help out with extra events, such as a sleepover, a summer camp or activities involving all members. 

In Scouting, you develop yourself through fun and challenges. This will benefit you not only whilst you’re with us, but also in your (future) work or studies. 

At Burmania, you’ll be part of a close-knit group of volunteers and 250 young members. As well as adventure, having a good time is our top priority. For example, we all have dinner together every Saturday evening, followed by a fun evening of games and a campfire. 

At Burmania, it’s all about being together and connecting with one another. For example, all our age groups take part in their activities at the same time, which creates a very strong sense of togetherness. 

Burmania is a Christian organisation, so we adhere to Christian values and standards. We believe it is very important that everyone feels welcome in Scouting. 

Burmania asks you to use your own talents to ensure our young members have a fantastic time. You can do your own thing, whilst always working as part of a team. Everyone is welcome at Scouting, whether you’re creative or technically minded, whether you’re good at planning or prefer to take things as they come. We can tailor the role to suit you; for example, we can discuss how much time you’d like to commit. 

Social safety is important to us, so you must have a Certificate of Good Conduct and adhere to, for example, the rules on social interaction and the code of conduct.
