Training
Welcome to the Scout Association's Adult Training Scheme The Scout Association is a voluntary movement dedicated to the development of young people between the ages of 4 and 25. Each week over 100,000 adult volunteers, in a variety of roles throughout the UK, help scouting to achieve its aim. The Scout Association's primary purpose is the development of young people, it also seeks to offer personal development opportunities to adults, both within their Scouting role and as individuals. The Adult Training Scheme is one means by which adults in Scouting can be supported in their chosen role. It is also a means by which personal development needs can be met. All adults accepting a Warrant are, within a period of up to three years, obliged to show that they have the defined skills for the role. In doing so, they can be awarded a Wood Badge. Assistant Section Leaders are not obliged to complete a Wood Badge, but we recommend they do so. They must, however, complete at least two specific modules (Modules 1, Essential Information and Modules 3 or 4, Tools for the Job). All of the current Modules are set out below for your convenience. To help individuals through the process of training, just talk to one of the District team, your GSL or other leaders within your Group. They will help you match your existing skills with those of your Scouting role, help identify skills gaps and agree plans for gaining the required skills and confirming that those skills have been successfully gained. Training advisers are set out on the following document. GSLS / Training Advisors All other Appointments must complete Module 1, Essential Information and, depending on the Appointment, another specific module. The additional specific module varies according to role and is required to ensure that an adult has all the skills they require to carry out their job effectively. A Wood Badge is not available for these Appointments.
