Adult training scheme
Introduction
Welcome to The Scouts Adult Training Scheme
The Scouts is a voluntary movement dedicated to the development of young people between the ages of 6 and 25. Each week over 100,000 adult volunteers, in a variety of roles throughout the UK, help Scouting to achieve its aim. While The Scouts’ 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 can also help to meet personal development needs.
This publication explains The Scouts’ approach to training; gives the details of the training scheme and outlines the management of training provision within Counties.
