The Six Dales Walk wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of volunteers.

​

Every year, volunteers help us deliver a safe, welcoming and well-organised event for walkers taking on the challenge across the Yorkshire Dales — all while supporting Scouting and raising money for a great cause.

​

Whether you can spare a few hours or support us throughout the day, we’d love to have you involved.

​
