• “Wait, You’re a Scout?” Series 3, Episode 12 with Taylor Sounes
    Feb 26 2026

    In this episode, Anna chats to Taylor about flexible volunteering, governance and what it really means to be a Scout trustee. Working full-time in corporate governance, Taylor brings her professional skills to 33rd Norwich Scout Group, helping shape long-term strategy, sustainability and community impact. She also gives up annual leave to volunteer at large-scale events like the Essex and Norfolk International Jamborees, proving Scouting doesn’t have to mean a weekly commitment. From trustee boards to tents in fields, this conversation explores the many ways adults can give their time — and why even the “behind the scenes” roles make a powerful difference.
