Our Welcome Conversation Volunteers give new volunteers a warm welcome, engaging them in a meaningful conversation. They’ll answer any questions they have at the start of their Scouts’ journey, and make sure Scouts is right for them.
As someone with a Welcome Conversation accreditation, if someone volunteers to join a Team similar to the one you volunteer with – for example if you help with a Beaver Section and a neighbouring Beaver Section has a new volunteer – we may get in touch with you and ask if you can do a Welcome Conversation with the new volunteer and their line manager. If you can’t make it, that’s fine, we’ll ask someone else.
If you’d like to be a Welcome Conversation Volunteer, you will need to watch the three videos below then answer some simple questions to gain your accreditation.
So, first watch these three videos…
