• Tuesday Evening

At Kirkburton Uniformed Groups, Scouts and Guides meet in the heart of Kirkburton. We also host our annual beer festival, KirkburtonFest to support local charities and fundraise for the Scouts and Guides.

We currently have 6 Scout and Guide sections Providing valuable skills and experiences to young people from ages 6 to 18.

We don’t run a youth club.
We build character.

At Kirkburton Beavers, our young people learn confidence the practical way — through outdoor adventure, teamwork, and trying things they didn’t think they could do.
From campfires and den building to leading their lodges and supporting their friends, everything we do is about helping them grow into capable, resilient young people.

The Role

I’m looking for people to join our Beaver Leadership Team.
This is about being hands-on where it matters:

• Supporting weekly Beaver meeting
• Helping run games and outdoor activities
• Encouraging young people as they try new skills
• Supporting and guiding lodge groups
• Helping create a positive, adventurous environment

You’d be part of a small, supportive team — sharing ideas, helping sessions run smoothly, and building something meaningful for the young people in our care.

Who This Might Suit

• Parents who want to be part of what their child experiences
• Adults who enjoy working with young people
• Anyone looking to build leadership or mentoring skills
• People curious about volunteering but unsure where to start

You don’t need prior Scouting experience — just patience, a sense of humour, and a willingness to get stuck in.

When We Meet

Tuesdays · 6:00 – 7:00pm

There are also optional opportunities throughout the year — camps, outdoor events, and district activities — if you’d like to get more involved.

Why Volunteer?

• Make a real difference to young people
• Learn practical and leadership skills
• Join a supportive local team
• Access training and development
• Uniform provided
• Discounts at major outdoor retailers
• Most importantly — you’ll help young people discover confidence they’ll carry for life.

Practical Requirements

• References required
• DBS check (arranged by Scouts)

If you’ve ever wondered about getting involved — come and have a chat, no pressure.

We’d love to hear from you.
