Squirrels is our newest section, giving children aged 4 to 6 their first taste of adventure. Sessions are short, fun, and packed with activities that spark curiosity and build confidence. It is incredibly rewarding and you get to see the wonder on young faces every single week.
Where we need volunteers
We currently have Squirrels sections in the following groups across the Vale. Express your interest and we will match you to a group that suits you.
- 3rd Prestatyn
- 6th Prestatyn
- 1st Rhyl
- 1st Rhuddlan
What you’ll do
- Work with young people aged 4 to 6 to deliver an exciting, badge-rich Squirrels programme
- Plan and run weekly section meetings, camps, hikes, and special activities
- Support young people in achieving their awards and badges
- Be a positive, encouraging presence and help young people grow in confidence
- Work as part of a team — you will never be running things on your own
Flexible volunteering
You do not have to commit to every week to make a real difference. We welcome Team Members who want a regular role, volunteers who can help at events or camps, and people who want to start as a helper and see how things go. Tell us what works for you.
Joining as a Section Team Member
- DBS (criminal record) check — we will help you through this
- Scout internal check
- Growing Roots learning (online modules covering safeguarding, inclusion, and the Scout programme)
- First Response first aid certificate (training available through the district)
- Welcome conversation with a district volunteer
No Scout experience needed. No qualifications required. Just bring enthusiasm and we will take care of the rest.
