Support local Scouting by helping maintain and care for our campsite & building, one job at a time.

To Suit You
District-wide role

Help our Scout sites stay safe, welcoming and well-loved

Our Scout campsites at Phoenix Campsite and Tingley HQ are well used and well loved — but like any busy place, there’s always a list of small jobs that need attention.

We’re looking for a practical, willing adult to help give these sites the care they deserve. No single task is huge, but together they make a big difference to the young people and volunteers who use them.

👇 What does the role involve?

The work is varied and changes with the seasons, and could include things like:

  • Fixing wobbly benches, loose hooks or squeaky doors

  • Replacing broken latches, hinges or fence panels

  • Painting, sanding and general TLC

  • Helping keep stores, shelters and outdoor areas usable

  • Spotting small problems before they become big ones

You choose what you’re comfortable doing - nothing specialist is expected.

😊 Who is this role for?

Anyone who enjoys practical jobs and takes pride in seeing things work as they should.
You don’t need formal trade skills - just a practical mindset, basic tools, and a willingness to help.

🕒 How much time does it take?

Completely flexible.
You might pop down occasionally, help with a few jobs in one go, or take on tasks as and when they suit you.

💬 Why help?

  • See the immediate impact of your work

  • Help keep our campsites safe and welcoming

  • Support Scouting without weekly meetings or paperwork

  • Make a real difference in a very practical way

⭐ Interested?

If you’d like to help - even just occasionally - we’d love to hear from you.
Every bit of care helps keep our sites ready for adventure.
