“You have to be getting something from your volunteer work. Scouting is the perfect thing for that,” Adam says. “It’s great for people who are outdoorsy. There are endless opportunities in scouting. Scouting is the largest youth movement across the world. There are 67 million young people involved in scouting globally. And nearly 50,000 in Ireland. It’s a global family. It’s a really nice thing to be part of.”
Adam spends 1.5 – 3 hours per week volunteering with Scouting Ireland. Adam says that volunteering with Scouting Ireland gives him the opportunity to improve the lives of young people while enhancing his own life:
“I’ve made loads of friends through scouting. And learned loads of skills. Leadership, teamwork, organisational skills. It’s unbelievable how often those skills are useful in everyday life. And I have a greater confidence in myself.”
