Hi, my oldest is in Beavers (UK) and I've been strongly considering volunteering as a parent. From talking to the leader, I know they're always on the lookout and have some trouble with ratios when the leaders are sick, so would like to have more volunteers on hand. I was a cub myself many years ago and have a lot of love for the organisation. I have already been involved in covering a couple of events and helping out at the hut for maintenance, so this feels like a good next step.

I suppose my question is what to expect in short and medium term if I choose to do this. Are there any good resources for prospective volunteers to read and is there any training I should get? Thank you!

Got Hive installed about 3 months ago. Nothing but trouble. Hub always green, but TRVs and thermostat constantly go offline and don't respond to the app even when they all show online and working perfectly. Heats seemingly when it feels like it.

Had Hive support involved 2 or 3 times. Tried full reser with them, tried moving hub due to possible signal issues (nothing else in house has ever had this problem, but whatever)

Experience is always the same. Open the app, boost a room, nothing happens, go back to app and it looks like it was boosted to 15 regardless of what temp is set. Doesn't seem to care if target is below boost temp etc. Sometimes works on manual, biut generally not.

All in all this is a massive let down. I'm getting the whole lot ripped out and will be coming after Hive to cover all my costs. It is terrible and I will never recommend this tripe to anyone, even if one of their engineers comes and fixes it. What a horrible OOBE, shitty app, shitty hardware, just all around awful experience.
