Join the Storytellers: South Ribble Scouts Media Team is Growing!

Date: 26th Mar 2025 Author: Jon Nutten

Flexible, task-based volunteering to shout about the best of Scouts.

Do you have a creative streak? Love storytelling, taking photos, or designing fun graphics? We’re on the lookout for volunteers to join our South Ribble Scouts Media & Engagement Team — and you don’t need to be a pro to get involved.

Whether you’re a social-savvy student, a budding content creator, or someone who loves sharing good news, there’s a place for you on our team.

What’s the Media Team All About?

At South Ribble Scouts, incredible things happen every day—from adventurous camps and community action projects to young people gaining skills that last a lifetime. But we need your help to celebrate those moments and share Scouting’s impact with the wider world.

You could get involved in:

  • 📷 Capturing photos or short videos at local events
  • ✍️ Writing blogs or news articles
  • 📱 Helping with social media posts
  • 🎨 Creating simple graphics or posters
  • 🎬 Editing quick video clips or reels

It’s flexible and task-based — perfect for balancing study, work, or other commitments. You can pick up tasks that fit your schedule and skills, whether 30 minutes a week or an hour a month.

Why Get Involved?

Joining the Media & Engagement Team is a great way to:

  • Develop skills in content creation, digital comms, and marketing
  • Make a real impact by helping more people see the value of Scouts
  • Boost your CV or portfolio with real-world experience
  • Use your talents to support local young people and volunteers

And if you’re new to all this, don’t worry. We’ll help you learn along the way. All you need is enthusiasm, creativity, and a passion for making a difference.

“I joined the media team as a way to give back without giving up all my weekends. I’ve learned new skills, met great people, and feel like I’m really making a difference.” — Tom, Media Team Volunteer

Everyone’s Welcome

You don’t need to have worn a necker to get involved. We’re building a welcoming, positive team that reflects the communities we serve. People of all backgrounds, lived experiences, and skill levels are encouraged to join.

Whether you’re already involved in Scouts or just getting started, there’s space for you to make an impact — behind the scenes, at your own pace, in your own way.
