Getting Started
Once we have received a completed DBS from the authorities and your two references we will ask you to a welcome conversation. This is a relatively informal meeting with 2 people to discuss how you can help us. They will advise the District Commissioner on the suitability of the adult and the role they have applied for.
The Welcome Conversation is arranged to fit in with your timescale and commitments.
All adults volunteering to work with our young people need to undertake a modular training programme relevant to their role.
Whilst you complete your Growing Roots Learning you will hold a “Provisional Appointment”. You have five months from application to complete these requirements.
Adult Training
The remaining modules can be done online, one to one, by workbooks or on a course. Some courses are held on an evening locally, some are weekend courses where a number of modules are done together. These courses are great as they give you an opportunity to meet like minded people from other Scouting areas and exchange ideas. On completion of your training you receive your Wood Badge.
