Explorer Scout Young Leaders

Young Leaders are valuable assets. Not only can they offer great assistance as part of the leadership team but they are likely to be the leaders of tomorrow, shaping the movement and lives of other young people. Young leaders form an important part of the leadership team of any younger section, bringing fresh ideas, techniques and plenty of enthusiasm.
The young leaders' scheme is our internal training scheme for Explorer Scouts. It has been created in order to give young people between the ages of 14 and 18 the opportunity to take part in training and gain valuable leadership and volunteering experience by working with younger members of the movement.
The young leaders' scheme is not only an important component of the explorer section’s balanced programme but is also important to actively encourage the development of the young people. Overall, the young leaders' scheme is about providing the training, opportunities and experience to enable a young person to develop their skills for later life, equipping them for successful careers and develop to the point that, at 18 they feel confident to seek an adult appointment within scouting and participate in the scout network.
Young Leaders' Scheme
The Young Leaders’ Scheme is a programme of 10 training modules and four missions (projects) designed to help and support those aged between 14 to 18 who work with Beavers, Cubs or Scouts as a Young Leader. It gives Young Leaders the skills and knowledge to act as part of the section leadership team, and covers subjects such as a balanced, quality programme, child protection, first aid and leadership skills.
