Young Leaders

We're always looking for leaders and start them young - from the age of 14 up to 18.

Explorer-age Scouts can take their first steps by becoming a Young Leader and may spend some of their time working along Adult Volunteers in another Scouting Section.

Within the District we run a Young Leader Training Scheme where young people may complete some of their training modules and also attend events and camps where they may meet like-minded individuals who are committed to Scouting

Modules are designed to give the Young Leaders the knowledge of how leaders should respond to the demands of entertaining young people in a safe and secure environment.

Missions are a chance for the Young Leaders to put the knowledge from the Modules into practice. This enables them to run activities and gives them the confidence to take part in the decision making process of the leadership team of their section.
