Give as little as 2 hours a month and you could make a positive impact to the lives of young people in the district. We have a number of roles available and promise volunteering will be hugely rewarding.

Become one of the 500,000 young people who enjoy scouting every week in the UK and join a growing community of scouts who learn skills for life every week.

Join 100 scouts and explorers from across Houghton-Le-Spring District for a trip you'll never forget with an activity programme which includes white water rafting, high ropes and lots more.

Our young leaders programme gives young people aged 14 to 18 the tools to take on leadership roles in scouting. It's a whole new adventure and looks great on any CV.

Our growing set of resources are available to enable volunteers and groups to maximise their impact on young people and the community around them.
