Volunteer Roles not  working on the campsite although key to our success


Volunteer Safety advisor

At our campsite we manage significant risk by the sheer nature of this wooded area, the activities provided and the number of people using Glenny Wood. We are no different from many wood public / camp sites.

Skills - We are therefore looking for someone with an interest and passion for safety to help us review our risk, our actions and activities and seek to further improve what we do. This role is about provide advice, guidance and support and working in liaison with the Glenny team.....


Volunteers to assist with Funding Support

This support can be in various ways, either taking on a project to seek funding for or delivering on a range of projects where we need funding so we can introduce new skills, challenges to the young people using Glenny Wood.

Skills - Some experience in fund raising, completing grant forms etc would be fabulous, or just a willingness to give it a go and learn about raising funds as the programmes progress.


Volunteer Communication and Social Media support 

This support is key to getting the messages out about our fabulous site, what is happening and changes planned. We also need to significantly raise our game on social media and ensure Glenny Wood has a positive presence in the wide ranging world of communications.

Skills - Social media user experience and knowing what platforms are available and how to use them. Experience gained from personal use would be a great.

We hope these roles will be of interest to you and you will consider volunteering and support Glenny Wood Scout Campsite. For an informal discussion to find out more about any of the above roles please contact Phil initially using the link below
