Call for volunteers to help bring scouting to Dungiven
Scouting Ireland provides full support and training, and there is a role for everyone
People from Dungiven and the surrounding area are being invited to come along to a public meeting to explore the possibility of starting a new Scouting Ireland group in the area.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 21 at 7.30pm in Glór, Dungiven.
The evening will include a short presentation about what Scouting is all about and what it is like to be a volunteer in Scouting Ireland. The meeting is open to anyone who would be interested in helping to bring Scouting to Dungiven, whether that means taking on a regular role, helping occasionally, supporting activities or contributing in any way they can.
No previous experience is required. Scouting Ireland provides full support and training, and there is a role for everyone. Whether you can offer a little time or a lot, every contribution can help make a difference.
Scouting can bring huge benefits to a community, helping young people develop valuable life skills, leadership, confidence and independence while enjoying adventure, friendship, fun and creating memories that last a lifetime. Scouting is inclusive and provides opportunities for young people of all backgrounds and abilities.
Volunteering also brings many benefits, including the opportunity to learn new skills, develop experience that can enhance a CV, make new friendships, enjoy adventure and become part of something that makes a real difference in the local community.
The aim of the meeting is to bring together people who are interested in helping make Scouting a reality in Dungiven.
A new Scout group cannot happen without volunteers, and everyone has something to offer.
Anyone interested in finding out more is encouraged to come along to the meeting on Tuesday, July 21 at 7.30pm in Glór and help explore how Scouting can be brought to the young people and wider community of Dungiven.
