Hide AdAdult volunteer Nigel Taylor said: “Getting involved in any of the organisations will provide young people with lots of enjoyment. They will learn skills for life and they will make new friends.
“Some will use involvement with Police Cadets, Fire and Rescue Cadets, Army Cadet Force or St John Ambulance as a stepping stone on their career path.
“Others who join Scouts or Guides will be able to get involved in many different activities and earn badges ranging from animal carer to outdoor challenge to sports enthusiast.
“There are some great opportunities for young people from all backgrounds.”
