Online Young Leader Training - Module A

Module A can now be delivered online so new Young Leaders can complete this mandatory training Module of the Young Leader Scheme.

Module A is the only Module that all Young Leaders must complete. Normally it should be done within 3 months of starting as a Young Leader, but this has not been possible due to COVID-19 restrictions, so we encourage all Young Leaders who have not yet completed this, to book on.

We are also delivering a socially distanced face-to-face course if you would prefer to complete the Module this way, but places are limited on this and allocated on a first come first served basis. 

The link to the Zoom call is on the OSM event and the password to join will only be sent out to those whose parents or carers respond via OSM.

Using Zoom 

The minimum age limit to set up a Zoom account is 16. Any Young Leader under this age must have their parents or carers set up the required account and remain nearby throughout the calls.

We will be operating a waiting room on the call, only allowing in those that have responded via OSM.

The online training will continue to follow our Young People First - Code of Practice, often known as the Yellow Card. 

We ask that Young Leaders are somewhere with an appropriate background for the call and that all members of their household behave appropriately throughout. Members of the YL Team will explain the behaviour expectations from YLs at the start of each call. 

We will also be utilising the Breakout Rooms function of Zoom throughout the morning, to enable the YLs to participate in small Group discussions, facilitated by members of the YL Team. 

What to bring

You should have a pen and paper/notebook to hand as we will be asking you to use this for some the activities. 

If you already have one, then your Young Leader Logbook will also be helpful to make notes in, to use when completing your Missions. If this is your first Young Leader Training Module that you will complete, then we will send your Logbook out to you in the post.

We will also be posting out an envelope to each YL that will contain your certificate for our virtual presentation at the end of the call and may also include some resources needed. 

Cost

There is no charge for this training. 

Bookings

We are now using 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, 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 should email yladmin@humbersidescouts.org.uk with your young person’s name, date of birth and their Scout Group. We will then send you a link to access the portal. Please note, this email must come from a parent, not the Young Leader.
