Young Leaders’ Scheme

The Young Leaders Scheme offers Explorers from across the District the chance to work with our younger sections (Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts) as a Young Leader. Young Leaders help organise and run activities under the supervision of Adult Leaders, this gives them the skills and knowledge to be part of the section leadership team, and offers training towards their leadership skills.

Modules

Through the scheme Explorers can access Modules – a series of activities that equip them with the skills needed to succeed in their leadership roles:

These modules are designed to be completed flexibly and at your own pace – keep an eye out for the next event!

Missions

Alongside the 11 Modules, we challenge Young Leaders to complete 4 Missions. These Missions are designed to challenge Young Leaders to put their skills into practice, by doing so, they will gain confidence and become an integral part of the section leadership team.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
