Active Support Unit

Scout Active Support allows people to give their time to Scouting on a flexible basis.
People can still be involved in Scouting without the full-time commitment of being a leader.

It provides a resource for Managers of local Scouting including Group Scout Leaders, District Commissioners and County Commissioners,
who can use it in whichever way is required.

Scout Active Support is for anyone over the age of 18 years.  
It is a way for adults to volunteer time to Scouting in a flexible way that suits them.

There is no requirement to have been involved in Scouting before joining.
All that is required is a willingness to volunteer some time to support Scouting.
An enhanced DBS check to be carried out.
