Return to Young Leadering

Now we have returned to face-to-face Scouting we have started to welcome back our Young Leaders. Young Leaders are aged between 14 and 18 and work alongside adult leaders to ensure that young people really get the chance to shape their own Scouting adventures.

On Sunday 18th our Young Leaders attuned back to Scouting training. As part of the training the Young Leaders were given the essential information to perform their role safely. Some of the young leaders were relatively new to young leadering and some were quite experienced so it was good for everyone to refresh to the same level.

We covered Module A, which provided the Young Leaders with the skills they need to assist with their sections and understand their role as a Young Leader.

We talked about how scouting was structured and chalked up some diagrams with our thoughts.

We also discussed why it’s important to provide activities safely and necessary to carry out risk assessments.
