Share your skills and shape young lives.

Every week, we give more than 18,900 young people in Hampshire, aged 4-25, the skills they need for life. But with thousands on our waiting list, we're looking for more volunteers to join an unstoppable force for good.

Volunteer Join

We’re Hampshire Scouts and welcome to our world...

At Hampshire Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life.

You’ll find us in every community across Hampshire. From trekking in the New Forest National Park to kayaking in Portsmouth Harbour or flying high in Farnborough. We get up to lots of activities right on your doorstep. You’re probably not too far away from a group right now.

This only happens thanks to hundreds of volunteer leaders, trustees and managers who make it all happen. We’ve been doing this for over 110 years now so we have a wealth of experience at our fingertips.

We’re just a small part of a worldwide movement of around 50 million scouts in nearly every country of the world.

And trust us we know because our Scouts have been all over and met Scouts along the way. Scouts from Hampshire has skied to the South Pole and stood on the highest summits on all seven continents.
