Volunteer With Scouting

Give your time. Share your skills. Help make Scouting happen. Whether you have a few hours, a weekend, or want to get involved regularly, there is a way to help.

Find a Way to Help

You do not need to know everything about Scouting to get involved. Start with what sounds interesting and how much time you have.

Help at an Event

Support check-in, activities, parking, setup, hospitality, and other event needs throughout the year.

Help at Camp

Pitch in at one of our Scout camps through events, service projects, maintenance, and other hands-on opportunities.

Share Your Skills

Use your experience in areas like aquatics, climbing, range and target sports, first aid, conservation, STEM, trades, and more.

Help With Your Unit

Want to help your pack, troop, crew, or ship? Your unit leader is the best place to start.
