Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I've been a Assistant Scout Leader for the 1st Sedbergh Scouts for just over a year and probably end up becoming a Explorer Leader as well soon. I find it very for filling.
I'm an ESL and ASL. Have been with the same scout group on and off all of my life, wife helps out at rainbows. Both kids in scouts or guides.

Another of the "usual suspects" here - do outdoors-y stuff with 1st Eynford & Farningham, plus helping at camp, building the campsite, putting stuff up taking stuff down.
We do a "family camp" every year in the Spring - the first two I went to, I showed assorted scouts how to light fires with firesteel and tinder. Haven't had to light a fire at camp since
I expect I will be repeating last year's Knife and Axe course in the next few weeks...
Like Richard (lavretuk) above, I am also strictly non-uniform, and I suspect for the same reason

Where are you studying in Cornwall? I'm a Scout Leader in Falmouth, just down the road from the Tremough campus of University College Falmouth/University Exeter.
Lots of groups in Cornwall would love extra adults!!
Let me know if you need some help contacting the right people.
Have been involved with Scouting as an adult for three years now, done my leader training and am now involved with leader first aid training provision. Very lucky to have a place on the "IST" for next year's World Scout Jamboree in Sweden.
Just spent a great weekend at the Cornwall County Scout Winter Camp in Bodmin, very cold nights but lovely dry sunny days. I'm always happy when the canvas comes back dry!
Don't get to do much bushcrafty stuff with the scouts, would love to do more.

139 Liberton then 3rd Leith both in Edinburgh. Loved every minute. Tried the BB's but nah too conservative for my liking!
Think about it ...it says "to do my duty to god and the queen..."
Surely if you truely believe that you have no duty to them then doing your duty to them concists of ...nothing!
Now - does that put you off still?
I put down atheist, got rejected. Changed to Buddhist. Same sort of thing "this world is not created and ruled by a God."
It's complicated I know, but personally my belief is in other people, not mystical gods (the basis of ubuntu & karma). If I did, I've believe in the FSM - May you forever be Touched by His Noodly Appendage.
I believe in the queen as well. She definately exists so no need for an FSM, though I don't see her relevance in todays scouting movement and again, an FSM would make an idea replacement.
