We want all our volunteers to have the skills and knowledge they need to feel confident to help keep young people safe and help them gain skills for life.
We’ll be organising learning at Scouts in what we call the Learning Tree. It’ll be made up of Growing Roots, learning that’s personalised to you and needs to be done within your first six months as a volunteer, and Branching Out, the learning you can access to further develop your skills and knowledge.
Access to this learning and progress tracking will be available once our region gains access to the new digital learning tool on scouts.org.uk
When is all this happening in South East Scotland?
