We are currently fundraising to build an accessible toilet and wet room with outdoor toilet and showers. Please visit this page to find out more.

As volunteer leaders, we welcome the support of parents and carers in the running of the Scout Group. There are many ways you can get involved, and it doesn’t have to be a regular commitment. Other adult relatives are also welcome to come and join in the fun.

You can never have too much help and we’d like to invite you to have a conversation if you think you could find some time to support us. Please email gsl@mildenhallscouts.org.uk in the first instance to find out more.

We’re looking for…

Group Trustees

The Group Trustee Board meets four times a year with activity in between. The purpose of the board is to support the Group Lead Volunteers in the smooth running and administration of the Scout Group. This includes elements of fund raising, applying for grants, scrutinising and approving requests for significant expenditure, monitoring risk assessments and progress of the group development plan and ensuring efficient and transparent financial practices are in place. We’d need to complete a DBS check for you and you’d need to complete our Charity Trustee e-learning, which takes no more than an hour. Volunteering is often a useful addition to a CV and we’d welcome individuals who want to play an active part.

The Trustee Board at Mildenhall Scout Group currently consists of:

Chair (until May 2027): Dan Griffiths

Treasurer (until May 2026): Andy Doogan

Group Lead Volunteer (ex-officio): Leigh Foster-Green

Appointed (until May 2026): Erin Tackett, Phil Prior

Appointed (until May 2027): Alfie Foster-Green, Jase Peters, Kevin Drane,  Nick Foster

Co-opted (until May 2025): Karen Pettitt

Non-Trustee Administrator: Jenni Liles

Team Members

Team Members are volunteers who help to plan, deliver, and support an amazing programme for young people.  

They can volunteer flexibly. Some may give their time every week, while others may give as much or as little time as they want. 

This is a role you might take up if you want to help more regularly with one of the youth sections. You can choose whether or not to wear uniform with this role and we’d need to complete a DBS check for you. This role requires some learning to be completed via our e-learning modules. The safety and safeguarding modules must be completed within 30 days. Three further modules need to be completed within 6 months.

Helpers

If you would like to help with one of the youth sections on an occasional basis; once or twice a month or less, then you can become a  Helper. There is no requirement to wear a uniform and we’ll need to complete a DBS check for you. Helpers  can:

• Attend a camp  
• Support a section occasionally without needing supervision (being the only adult with a group of young people).  

As they don’t get membership status with Scouts, Helpers won’t get the usual benefits our members receive, such as personal accident insurance.
