Skills for Life

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

1st Great Cornard is run entirely by volunteers who give up their own time to help the Scout Group.

There are two main types of volunteers the uniformed Leaders (there are positions that you don’t have to wear a uniform) and the Executive Committee.

Welcome to 1st Great Cornard

Volunteering for Scouting is one of the most fun, rewarding and positive things you can ever do.

You can give as much or as little time as you like and we will match opportunities that fit your skills and time available.

If you would like to have fun and make friends, earn professional qualifications and make a real difference to the lives of young people, please volunteer with us.
