Learning

All learning, including Safety and Safeguarding learning must be completed, validated and recorded on Compass.

No learning can be recorded on Compass.
The Safety and Safeguarding e-learning modules can continue to be completed while Compass is offline. This will allow for Scouts activities/events to continue if something unexpected occurs.
If, locally, there is a need for this learning to be used, the relevant District or County/Area/Region Lead Volunteer (Commissioner) can make the decision and must contact Support Centre who will pass on the links to complete this.
If current e-learning modules are completed while Compass is offline, they cannot be backdated in the new system. Volunteers must complete the new Safety or Safeguarding learning in the new learning tool.
The training compliance volunteer team have been stood down now Compass has closed.

All volunteers can access learning through the digital system and complete these as required.
Any volunteer who completed the previous Safety or Safeguarding learning while Compass was offline must complete the equivalent Growing Roots learning.

As of 30 September, Wood Badges can no longer be recommended.
Training modules for Wood Badges should continue to be validated on Compass.
- Any volunteers who validate the current training required for their Wood Badge after 30 September will migrate across with all of this training completed. They can then complete the Creating Inclusion and Delivering a Great Programme or Leading Scout Volunteers learning (Depending on the Wood Badge they are completing) to be automatically recommended for their Wood Badge in the new system. You can read more on our Wood Badge page.

Volunteers will be able to work towards their Wood Badge through the new digital system.
Read the page on Wood Badges to find out more about how these will work in the new digital system.
