The volunteer joining journey
From the point a new volunteer enquires about joining Scouts, to the point they become a full member, we’ve mapped out the whole process. Key steps are driven by our digital system on scouts.org.uk, such as making sure checks are in place, learning is done and having a Welcome Conversation.
Joining Scouts is powered by volunteers though, and other parts can only happen through talking to volunteers locally – these parts make up induction.
Becoming a volunteer with Scouts
The volunteer joining journey represents a clear pathway which a new volunteer needs to follow when they decide to become a Scouts member. Along the way, there will be opportunities where support is needed by other volunteers to ensure a quicker, easier and welcoming beginning in Scouts.
