Every volunteer role at the Scouts needs to complete training. Follow these three easy steps to get started with your training journey.
Step 1: Check the training requirements for your role
Training modules that you need to complete depend on the volunteer role that you are taking on. To find out the modules you need, visit POR Chapter 16: Roles Tables, which lists all roles and their training requirements.
Step 2: Complete your Personal Learning Plan with your Training Adviser
We know that many Scout volunteers have prior learning which they can apply to their Scouts role. Meet with your Training Adviser and complete your Personal Learning Plan together, recognising your previous experience.
Your Training Adviser will be able to help you identify the modules when you discuss your Personal Learning Plan with them (if you have a role that requires this). This’ll help you identify the learning you need, as well as choosing the method of validation that’s right for you.
Step 3: Complete your training modules
Work through the mandatory and role specific modules for all volunteers and discover your ongoing learning requirements and supplementary modules. To complete your Wood Badge training you need to complete the modules within training for all appointments.
