Appointments and Volunteer Welcome

There have been recent changes to our Volunteer Welcome processes and Learning [training]. If at any time you are unsure of anything please do ask, we are learning as well.

Firstly a big welcome and Thank You! We have created this page to inform you about the ‘Volunteer Welcome‘ process and to assure you it is nothing like a formal job interview, more of a conversation.

Thank you for coming forward to volunteer within Scouting in our District, Bristol South and your Scout Group, helping to prepare young people with ‘Skills for life’.

As part of the appointment process new volunteers will have to attend a “Welcome Meeting”. This is usually made up of two members (some have been in Scouting  for a while some haven’t plus somebody you know from the group to which you are volunteering), they will have a short informal chat with you about why you are joining Scouting and discuss with you the support you will get and what you may feel you need to be happy and effective in your role, perhaps how to bring your other interests to Scouting. Their main purpose is to help ensure you have the right role for you. There is nothing to be worried about.

If you have any special requirements for the meeting you will be asked to let us know prior to it. We look forward to meeting all those coming forward to volunteer and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to make contact via the channels indicated on your invitation e-mail.

We look forward to meeting and talking with you, thank you again for your involvement.
