Scouting is a team effort — and that includes our amazing parents and carers! To help our sessions run smoothly and safely, we operate a Parent Rota system. It’s a simple way for families to support the group and be part of the fun.
What is the Parent Rota?
The Parent Rota is a schedule where parents volunteer to assist during weekly meetings or special activities. You don’t need any scouting experience — just a willingness to help out!
What Will I Be Doing?
Depending on the session, you might:
- Help set up or tidy away equipment
- Supervise games or activities
- Assist with crafts or badge work
- Support outdoor activities or walks
- Be an extra adult for safety and supervision
How Often Do I Need to Help?
We ask each family to volunteer once per term if possible. More help is always welcome, but even one evening makes a big difference!
How Do I Sign Up?
- Complete the online form on this page.
- Speak to a leader to pick a date
- Or email us to be added to the schedule
We’ll send reminders and make sure you know what to expect.
Why It Matters
Your support helps us:
- Keep activities safe and well-supervised
- Offer more exciting and varied sessions
- Build a stronger community around our group
Plus, it’s a great way to see what your child gets up to in Scouts!
