Adult Training

Falkirk District Training

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.

While the adult training programme for the District is being compiled, South East Scouts have agreed that leaders are welcome to attend the events they have organised via this Booking Form. Links to specific courses can also be found via the Adult Training Diary.

Scouting - The Basics is ideal for those Leaders who are new to Scouting. It is advisable for those who wish to attend the training to have completed the essential information module before attending. Essential Information Training

 

To support adults in Scouting, the Association provides a comprehensive programme of training 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.

Leader Training - Leaders can have fun too!
29/06/2023 By Ann Gilchrist

Over the last few months a number of Scout leaders from Falkirk District have been working towards gaining adventurous activity permits for Canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, rafting and climbing.  To keep our young people safe, leaders have to prove that they’re competent in the activity before they’re allowed to be in charge of that activity.  The canoe Jenga picture was taken during one of the training session and goes to show that canoeing isn’t just about getting somewhere but that you can have fun just being in a boat. All passed their qualification and are now able to take their young people out on the water.

Five leaders, from Groups and Units around the District, attended one of their training days on Loch Ard recently. Leaders require a permit to allow them to take youth members kayaking and depending on the type of water, lochs or rivers, and its severity they can get a permit based on their ability and competence. The course has involved paddling skills, rescues, group control as well as theory. It is intended that the final session will include leading and coaching of scouts while the leaders are assessed. The course is being run by the District Commissioner; Lenny Jamieson, who is a British Canoe Union Level 3 kayak coach.
