Are you ready to help 4 and 5-year-olds discover their "skills for life"? We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Squirrel Scout team. Squirrels meet in a "Drey" where the focus is on fun, friendship, and building character through adventure.

What will you be doing? As part of the leadership team, you’ll help run a well-rounded programme packed with activities. Depending on your interests, you can get involved in:

• Running the Adventure: Leading games, reading stories, and taking part in the "hello and goodbye" songs.
• Outdoor Exploration: Guiding bug hunts, nature walks, and visits to local landmarks.
• Celebrating Success: Handing out badges and awards as Squirrels master new skills like resilience and teamwork.
• Behind the Scenes: Helping with the register, managing the adult rota, or collecting fees to keep the Drey running smoothly.
• Safety & Care: Supporting young people with additional needs and ensuring every session is safe and inclusive.

Why join us? Volunteering with Squirrels is #GoodForYou. You’ll be part of a supportive team of leaders, assistants, and Young Leaders (aged 14–18) who share the load. We believe in "many hands make light work," so your role can be flexible to fit your life. Whether you want to be a Team Leader or Team Member, we provide all the training and support (including DBS checks) you need.

What we’re looking for:

• A patient and fun-loving attitude.
• A team player who is happy to "muck in."
• Someone committed to treating everyone with kindness and helping children learn through play.
