Reviews

What’s the purpose, who are they for, and when to have them

Reviews are a conversation between you and your Team Leader or Lead Volunteer. They’re a chance to catch up on how your volunteering is going, talk about any concerns, ask any questions, and share successes. They’re all about making your volunteering experience the best it can be. 

During your review, you’ll talk about:

  • How you’re getting on with your tasks and your team.

  • What you’re doing well.

  • Any difficulties you’re experiencing.

  • Opportunities to keep developing yourself.

  • Any support you can get (if you need it).

At the end of a great review, you’ll have clear next steps to make your volunteering experience even better (agreed by you and your Team Leader or Lead Volunteer).

At Scouts, we encourage every volunteer to have at least one review a year. Team Leaders and Lead Volunteers organise reviews, but you can ask for a review at any time.
