Do you remember your first adventure? The curiosity, the friendships, and the sense of achievement?

​We are looking for enthusiastic, patient, and fun-loving volunteers to become leaders for our youngest section: The Squirrel Scouts.

​As a Squirrel Scout Leader, you will work with 4 and 6-year-olds, helping them take their very first, crucial steps into the world of scouting. Through games, crafts, and gentle outdoor exploration, you will help them discover their potential, build confidence, and, most importantly, have fun.

​You don't need prior scouting experience—just a willingness to learn, a sense of humor, and a desire to make a difference in your local community.

​What You’ll Get:
​Full training and mentorship.
​The incredible reward of seeing children grow and thrive.
​New skills for your CV and new local friends.

Help us build the future, one happy little scout at a time. To learn more or to chat about what's involved, contact Anne Freeman at [email protected].

Have you been on a litter pick yet?

Judi Herman and Biba “the Litter Hound” have been out on the streets cleaning up their local area. 🐾💚

“The chimes with the Jewish concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world),” Judi shared.
