Our friends at are in the news! Did you know it would only take 28 new adult volunteers to accept in order to reduce the 160 young people on the waiting list to 0! That's totally doable and possible with the help of communities across the Borders. Scouts is uplifting, rewarding and fun. And no previous Scouting experience is required we are pleased to tell you. Interested? Go to https://www.borderscouts.org.uk/ and get in touch with the team for an informal chat about flexible volunteering. Thanks.
