Young Leader Training - Modules E, G & H

This training weekend will deliver Modules A, E, G & H.

We will be staying in indoor accommodation for this weekend. Beds are allocated on a first come first served basis. Young Leaders are welcome to bring a tent and camp outside, or they can come and go for the Training Modules, but sleep at home. 

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.

Activities

For those Young Leaders who are staying overnight and have already completed Module A, we will be running the Climbing Wall, Throwing Angels, Woodcraft skills and Backwoods Cooking on Saturday morning.

Please ensure you have warm clothing suitable to take part in these outdoor activities, even if it is raining! Closed toe shoes in particular, that are suitable for climbing in and using the Throwing Angels. 

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 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. 

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. 

What to bring

We will be sleeping indoors this weekend, so beds are provided but Young Leaders will need to bring their own sleeping bag. If you choose to camp overnight instead, then you will need to provide your own tent and sleeping equipment. 

Many of the activities during the Training Modules will be run outside, so you'll also need walking boots, waterproofs and warm clothes suitable for outdoor activities. 

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!

We will be having Christmas Dinner and Christmas party games on Saturday night, so Christmas jumpers or festive outfits are required!

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 event, then you will be 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. 

COVID Considerations

Currently Scouting guidance requires us to still have some COVID controls in place. These include things such as practising good hygiene throughout the weekend and all those aged 11+ to complete lateral flow tests.

This guidance may change before December, so we will let you know of any changes, closer to 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!
