Volunteer: Trustee with Public Relations & Strategic Communications - Scouting Ireland



The Organisation

Scouting Ireland enables young people to build the skills they need to maximise life's opportunities. Scouting Ireland welcomes all members, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination on any grounds including, but not limited to, gender, sexuality, race, religion or belief, social class, health, age or disability.


Through our various youth-led programmes, Scouting Ireland delivers a range of opportunities for young people to develop their skills, talents and leadership potential through outdoor adventure and by working with their Scout Group. Our programmes focus on a system of progressive self-education, known as the Scout Method, which aims to nurture the mental, physical and holistic growth and development of young people of all ages.


Currently, there are nearly 500 Scout Groups across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.


Mission: Scouting Ireland is dedicated to enabling and empowering young people to realise their potential, through its core values based on the Scout Promise and Law, fostering active citizenship and helping create a better community, society and world.
