VolUnteer to help
Fireworks Spectatular
It may take a village to raise a child but it takes a small army to put on the fireworks each year.. While all the helpers are volunteers, we do aim to pay a fee for every hour that each individual gives to helping setup and run the event. These donations are paid directly to a scout group/event once all the monies in and out have been finalised (usually in the following February or March)
There are lots of different roles which need to be covered off on the evening including Helping with car parking, Stewarding and crowd control, catering etc.
While we ask for your preferences for what role you would like, and will endeavour to assign you to that role , there is no guarantee that you will be assigned to that particular role on the evening.
We also ask what times you are available to help across the weekend. We appreciate that not everyone can help all weekend and timings on the daytime sessions are approximate.. The Saturday evening sessions WILL start at 16.00 as roles will need to be assigned and briefings will need given before the public start showing up. Please contact your group representative if you are not going to be able to make it on time.
More information on roles and what you will need are at the bottom of the page
