Training Opportunities: 2010

 All Adult Leaders can complete Woodbadge Training, whether or not their role requires it –i.e. a Section Assistant (Colony/Pack/Troop Assistant) only need to complete Modules 1 and 3 but they may complete all the Training required of a Section Leader/Assistant Leader, if they so wish.

Adult Training in Central Yorkshire is fun, flexible to the point of being ‘bendy’ and offered in a variety of ways to suit all needs and the pressures of the Adults’ family and working life.

Below, are a few choices you can make to further your Training in 2010 – but remember, you have three years in which to complete a Woodbadge once you have completed your Getting Started Modules, so there is no rush! Leaders who are new to their role should complete Modules 1-7 before they apply for the completion Course and have at least 12 months experience in the role.

March 6th – First Response (Module 10)                     John Briggs Centre, Bramhope.

March 7th – Ongoing Learning                                  John Briggs Centre, Bramhope.

May 8th    - Ongoing Learning                                   John Briggs Centre, Bramhope.

May 9th    - First Response                                         John Briggs Centre, Bramhope       

First Response Course (which is obligatory for all Section Leaders in Scouting) last 6 hours and the Certificate must be renewed every three years.

On-going Learning – again, every Adult is expected to complete 5 hours On-going learning every 12 months. The content of these Courses is up to you – tell your LTM or TA what you would like to achieve!

These Courses are non-residential.

May 14 –16th – Section Leaders Module Completion Course – Aldwark

May 14 – 16th – Nights Away Course                                        - Aldwark

These two Courses will run parallel and start on Friday evening so that any leader who wishes to take advantage of a canoeing opportunity on Saturday afternoon or Sunday, can do so.

Just imagine the fun-time which can be had when in excess of 36 leaders from the County get together for a weekend – and no KIDS!
