☕ Brew it Forward – Nominate a Volunteer for a Well-Earned Cuppa!

As we gear up for #VolunteersWeek, we're celebrating the amazing adults who make Scouting possible — the ones who go above and certainly beyond to support young people, their teams, and the community.

To say a big thank you, we’re running a special giveaway:
We’ve got
10 x £10 coffee vouchers to give away to some of our most inspiring Scout volunteers — and we need your help to find them!


How it works:

We’re asking you to nominate a fellow adult Scout volunteer (aged 18+) who deserves a treat.
Maybe they’re always the first to lend a hand, bring the best energy to every camp, or are the glue holding the team together. Whatever it is that makes them amazing — tell us about it!

🎉 Nominations are now open!
🗓
Deadline to nominate: Sunday 1 June
🎁
Winners will be drawn on Monday 2 June
📬
Vouchers will be sent out later that week

Celebrate With Us

Keep an eye on our social media and website during Volunteers’ Week — we’ll be sharing some of your brilliant nominations and shouting out the fantastic volunteers who keep the Scouting spirit alive.

So go on — let’s Brew it Forward and give someone the warm, fuzzy, coffee-fuelled appreciation they truly deserve! ☕💚

Adam Jacklin will be stepping down from his role as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford District on 4 November 2025. As Adam prepares to step down as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford this November, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my thanks for the energy, dedication, and leadership he has brought to the role. Adam has been a driving force behind many positive developments within the District, always bringing a thoughtful and steady approach to everything he does. Throughout his term, Adam has consistently put young people at the centre of our work. His collaborative style has helped build strong teams and foster a real sense of community among our volunteers. Whether supporting events, shaping strategy, or mentoring others, Adam has been generous with his time and tireless in his commitment to the values of Scouting. While Adam is stepping back from the DLV role, I know his involvement with the District and County will continue.
