Scouts

A network of colleagues driving positive change

The Scouts programme is a network of VKR Group employees who bring the Employee Foundation’s mission to life. Scouts share stories, get engaged with the Employee Foundation, and inspire colleagues to get involved in projects that make a difference.

Getting involved

Our ambassador programme, Scouts, brings together employees from across VKR Group companies who voluntarily support local recommendation committees and help raise awareness of the Employee Foundation’s work. The programme aims to strengthen community ties and foster meaningful connections across the organisation.

If you are interested in joining our Scouts community, choose the Scout role that matches your passion and sign up here.

Blue Scouts

Company ambassadors

Blue Scouts are the Employee Foundation’s ambassadors of knowledge. They are the first to hear about upcoming events and initiatives, and they make sure colleagues know about opportunities for support, connection, and involvement.

Red Scouts

Supporting wellbeing

Red Scouts are passionate about wellbeing. They share resources, organise activities, and encourage conversations around mental and physical health, human connection, and help colleagues feel supported.

Green Scouts

Nature connectors

Green Scouts lead the charge on environmental initiatives. They are advocates for the environment and promote sustainability and biodiversity. They encourage care for the planet and inspire colleagues to spend time reconnecting with nature.

Yellow Scouts

Community builders

Yellow Scouts volunteer and give back to the community. They champion initiatives like our Live a Dream program and connect employees with opportunities to help families and communities around the world.

‘Thank you to the Employee Foundation for the grant for the guided meditation workshop. I had the pleasure of attending and have shared what I learned with colleagues, friends, and family.    

'On my return, I set up a workshop with yoga mats, calming surroundings, and music to hold the guided morning meditation with colleagues so they too could start the day finding inner calm. Our colleagues said they wished they could start every day like this.’

‘The best thing about being part of the pilot shelter build in Denmark, has been meeting colleagues, working with them, enjoying the good weather, good talks, and having fun together.’

‘It was great to get out with colleagues and do some good in the community. The best part is meeting new people and making new friends. I would highly recommend that anyone apply because it’s well worth it. While you may sacrifice some vacation time, which may make people hesitate, it’s well worth the reward you get for a few days of your time. It is motivational, inspirational, and exhausting.’
