YOUNG LEADERS: INITIAL TRAINING
Scouting is all about everyone having fun and remaining safe - that applies to you and the young people you look after. So whether you are new to Scouting or have been with us since Beavers, you need to attend a Module A within 3 months of starting as a Young Leader - preferably sooner.
The Module is actually fun and only takes a couple of hours to complete. We start by looking at what Scouting is all about, then we move onto how you make sure the young people are safe from abuse (and you are safe from accusations) - all common sense. The last bit is about making Scouting fun whilst keeping the young people safe from physical harm. If you can make it feel dangerous but know that it is safe then the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will really enjoy themselves and also learn what danger is.
