Young Leaders (13½–18 years)

Young Leaders is a programme designed to facilitate young people aged 13½ to 18 who work with a section (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, and 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.

Completion of the Young Leaders’ Scheme modules are based on attendance at either the County’s virtual training sessions, or face-to-face training provided by Districts. The Missions are where this learning can be put into practice within the Section they volunteer at.

The Young Leaders’ Scheme is designed to help Young Leaders develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding need in their current role, which can be built on if they decide to take on an appointment as an adult.
