Young Leader Training Weekend – Modules C, I & J (and A)

This training weekend will deliver Modules A, C, I & J.

We will be camping outside for this weekend. Young Leaders need to provide their own tent and sleeping equipment. They are welcome to share with other Young Leaders attending.

Young Leaders do not need to attend every Module on this weekend, just the ones that they require. Please indicate which Modules you need to do when you book on through Online Scout Manager.

For those Young Leaders who are staying overnight and have already completed Module A, we will be running Climbing and Pioneering for you to do in this time instead.

Please ensure you have clothing suitable to take part in these activities.

We will be outside whatever the weather, so please ensure you have suitable clothing and footwear, including waterproofs and walking boots.

What to bring

This is an outdoor weekend so each Young Leader will need to bring their own tent and sleeping equipment. Your Explorer Section or Scout Group should allow you to borrow a small tent if you do not have your own. All food is provided and catered for centrally.

Full uniform is not required for Young Leader Training. You should wear casual clothing, Scout branded if you wish such as Group or Unit t-shirts and hoodies. Please bring your necker to wear for the presentations on Sunday as these look great in photographs!

For those who have attended Young Leader training before, please bring your Young Leader Logbook with you. If this will be your first Young Leader training, then you will given one at the weekend.

All electrical items are brought at your own risk. We may ask you to use devices with internet access at certain points during the training modules, such as to find Programme ideas online, otherwise we expect Young Leaders to be respectful of when they use these. Charging points are limited as we are camping, so we recommend you bring power banks to recharge your devices.

All food, pots and utensils are provided, but please bring your own named refillable water bottle to have drinks in throughout the weekend.

Missions

If you are staying over for the weekend and have completed any Missions in your Young Leader Logbook since we have last seen you, then please bring these along so they can be signed off and we can award you with your certificates and badges.

If you do not need to complete any more Modules, and just need your Missions signing off, please get in touch to let us know what time to expect you. Saturday afternoon, after Module G has finished would be a perfect opportunity to drop-in!

Leaders

Explorer Leaders or Section Leaders are welcome to visit any of the training over the weekend. A member of the County Young Leader Support Team will always be available to answer any questions you have.

Just let us know what time you’ll be coming so we can have the kettle on!

Bookings

We use an online system called Online Scout Manager to easily coordinate all our admin for Young Leader Training. It is a safe, secure and GDPR compliant system that saves Leaders a lot of time and it also saves a lot of paper. This system also has a portal for Parents/Guardians to access and provide us with all the details we need, without having to complete any paper forms.

If you have booked onto a Training Weekend through OSM before, and you need to complete one or more of the Modules being delivered on this weekend, then you will receive an email inviting you, direct from OSM.

If you haven’t booked on to a YL Training weekend through OSM before, then parents/carers should email yladmin@humbersidescouts.org.uk Please note, this email must come from a parent/carer, not the Young Leader.

The closing date for bookings is Friday 4th September.

Cost

Young Leader Training is free of charge to all Young Leaders in Humberside County.

However, you still need to book on via OSM and the County reserve the right to make a charge of £10 per person for any places booked where people do not turn up or cancel prior to the weekend, with short notice.

Places cancelled after Friday 4th September are subject to the £10 charge.
