Young Leader Support

The Young Leaders’ Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section.

Some Districts deliver Young Leader Training locally however as part of our ongoing support for Young Leaders in the County, we have developed a training programme to help Young Leaders develop their skills, and help achieve the Young Leader Belt Buckle. There are 11 modules which make up the scheme, they are:

• Module A: Prepare for take-off!
• Module B: Taking the lead
• Module C: That’s the way to do it!
• Module D: Understanding behaviour
• Module E: Game on!
• Module F: Making Scouting accessible & Inclusive
• Module G: What is a high-quality programme?
• Module H: Programme planning
• Module I: What did they say?
• Module J: Communicate it!
• Module K: First aid

As a way of practically delivering this training, we have grouped most of these modules in to the below 5 trainer-led courses:

• Safe: Module A and E (2 hours)
• Leadership: Modules B, C and J (2 hours)
• Inclusive: Modules D and F (1.5 hours)
• Programme: Modules G, H and I (2 hours)
• Care: Module K (2 hours)

The first aid module is delivered separately to these courses.
