Training

Forest of Dean Young Leader Training Scheme

We normally run the YL scheme Face to Face from September to May every year, but occasionally we run training online.

Face to Face training usually runs from 10:00 to 15:00, typically on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Although we do shift our training to avoid most important Scouting events.

We run Module A (mandatory for all 13.5yo to 18yo who are attending/helping/camping with a Beaver/Cub/Scout section) Face to Face in October, February, and May each year. 

If booking has opened for a session you can click on the session date/name and go to the eventbrite booking form. This will provide you with details of the session and let me know who is attending. It also means that I know who to contact, if I need to rearrange a session.
