Programme Team

The Programme Team helps every local section to run a safe, enjoyable and high-quality programme. To help do this, they bring Section Team volunteers together with activity experts.

Team Tasks:

Support all Sections to deliver projects where young people can have a positive impact in the community.
Help volunteers with any programme changes, such as new badges and activities, to help young people achieve Top Awards.
Encourage international trips and activities.
Support volunteers to include nights away in their Section’s programme.
Help volunteers gain their Nights Away Permits.
Organise local events when Section Teams decide they’re needed.
Keep an eye out for any learning that’ll help Section Teams deliver a fantastic programme. The Volunteering Development Team can then give volunteers opportunities to develop and learn new skills.

Encourage Section Teams to share good practice by creating opportunities to network.

There are skilled people to support Sections’ programmes (in areas that volunteers may not be experts in themselves).
Sections can access adventurous activities, either through permit holders or external providers.

Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme

Scouting aims to offer our youth members lots of exciting experiences. The more adventurous activities require leaders to demonstrate an ability to deliver these in a safe and enjoyable manner. The Scout Association ‘Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme’ is designed to ensure that all those leading adventurous activities for young people within Scouting have the skills and experience to do so.

The Forth Region website provides information about the Activity Permit Scheme for leaders in Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and Trossachs, and West Lothian. This includes information about:
