We work in the communities to the north of Huddersfield where we provide Scouting for young people from 4-25 years and our adult volunteers.

Huddersfield North Scout District was formed in 1972 and covers Bradley, Fixby, Cowcliffe, Birkby, Edgerton, Marsh, Oakes, Lindley, Birchencliffe, Salendine Nook and Outlane.

The District is made up of 9 Scout Groups, 5 Explorer Scout Units and a Scout Network catering for young people aged 4-25 years, with a membership of around 600 young people (and growing).

Young Leader (14 to 18 years) Volunteer Opportunities.

Do you want to contribute to the development of young people by helping them to gain skills and confidence? Do you want to personally grow by developing skills, expand knowledge and enhancing your leadership abilities? Do you want to belong to a community of volunteers? Would you like to participate in exciting activities? Do you want to boost your mental wellbeing ?

Becoming a Young Leader in scouting could be for you.

You could work with one of the following sections - Squirrels (4-6yrs), Beavers (6-8yrs), Cubs (8-10 yrs), Scouts (10-14yrs) and we have groups meeting every weekday evening from 6.16pm up until 9.30pm as well as on Sunday mornings. You can select which group and timings work for you.

Scouting offers support from the team members / team leaders within the relevant section. In addition, there is also a Young Leader Lead who can provide support particularly with the Young Leader training program.
