Why Training?:
To ensure that young people experience good quality Scouting, The Scout Association requires each adult in Scouting to demonstrate a range of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are relevant to their Scouting role.
How Does It Work?:
The range of skills The Scout Association expects of people in different roles are described in a number of modules, which together make up the Adult Training Scheme. There are 38 modules in total and different roles require a different selection of modules to be completed. The modules that an individul needs to do will be defined by their role description and by their existing skills and knowledge.
Learning Methods:
The Adult Training Scheme offers a number of learning methods for each module. Individuals
may be able to go on a training course, use e-
Recognising Prior Learning:
The Scout Association’s Adult Training Scheme recognises prior learning. Everyone has skills and knowledge that have been gained through education, employment, life experiences or other voluntary roles and these can be applied to Scouting. If someone already has the skills and abilities needed for a module there is no need to do extra learning for that module. If someone has some of the skills, or is unsure about some aspects, they may be able to complete learning for just those bits that they need. Everyone must, however, still demonstrate that they can use these skills in their Scouting role. This is shown through the process of validation. As part of the planning process for an individula's training they will agree with a Training Adviser how they will validate each module.
