A CALL has gone out for volunteer leaders to help run the district’s popular scout groups after numbers fell during the pandemic. In the biggest recruitment drive the area has ever held, the appeal is being targeted at any adult who can offer help in any way, from leading groups to giving occasional or parental support. “The pandemic has had a massive impact on us. Adult volunteers are vital to keep groups going, but some have had to self-isolate and others have had a change in or heir circumstances and are unable to volunteer,” said Stephen Rawlinson, development officer with Bradford North District Scouts.
