It’s easy to feel like we’re running on empty these days - with barely a second to spare, let alone whole evenings. So, why in the world would anyone choose to spend their precious free time volunteering as a Scout leader?

We’ve made loads of films about how brilliant it is to be a Scout. Now, we wanted to pull sharp focus on the people who make Scouting possible - the volunteers themselves. We went beyond the Scout hut, filming them at their homes and workplaces to give a broader sense of who they are, what motivates them and how volunteering has enriched their lives.

Anes’s film (which is part one of the series) went down a storm, within both the organisation and with our target audience of 25-40yo professionals. It smashed all expectations on social media, racking up  125,000 views on Instagram and generating 3500 engagements in just the first few days!
