Transforming our volunteer experience
We’ve transformed volunteering at Scouts to make it easier, more enjoyable and rewarding. The recent changes will help us to:
- Give a warmer welcome for everyone
- Deliver better learning
- Simplify how we volunteer together
With the support of easy-to-use digital tools.
All systems and tools are now accessed by a single log in to scouts.org.uk (There’s no new name for the membership records system that has replaced Compass.)
To find out more about what’s changed to improve the volunteer experience the best place to start is https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/volunteer-experience/
To get started on the new system, use the link in the email from Scouts inviting you to set your password. Alternatively, use the Sign in button on scouts.org.uk.
