Lonsdale District Scouts Adult Learning
Adult volunteers are at the heart of Scouting, and we hope that you will get every bit as much out of it as you put in. Scouting is not only about young people, but also about the development of adults within the Movement.
To support adults in Scouting, the Association provides a comprehensive programme of learning to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies. Some elements of training can count towards externally-recognised qualifications, and within the movement there are also awards to recognise dedication to training and outstanding service.
Team Leaders and Team Members must complete Safety, Safeguarding, GDPR, Essential Information and Tools for the Role (Section Leaders) within 5 months of attending the Appointments Panel or having the Welcome Conversation. Alternatively, once the new Digital Tools are on line, you should complete the Growing Roots training.
You should also attend one of the First Response courses.
Group Leader Volunteers must complete Safety, Safeguarding, GDPR, Trustee Introduction, Essential Information and Tools for the Role (Managers and Supporters) within 5 months of attending the Appointments Panel (or Welcome Conversation), or once the new Digital Tools are released the Growing Roots Training. Once completed you need to complete the rest of the management training within 3 years.
