International Volunteers

International volunteers are Scouts and Guides who join for a season or longer to support Larch Hill and sometimes other National Scout Centres. Short-term volunteers help with daily tasks like maintenance, welcoming guests, running activities, and meals, while long-term volunteers take on more responsibility in running the centre and delivering programmes.
