Behind every great Section meeting, camp and event is a team of volunteers who make it happen. York Scouts has a range of District teams and specialists here to support you — whether you’re planning Nights Away, organising an event, managing finances, recruiting volunteers, or just need advice.
This page brings together all the key contacts and areas of support available across the District. If you’re not sure who to speak to, start here — and if you’re ever unsure, your Team Leader or the District Lead Volunteer will happily point you in the right direction.
