Part of the Manager & Supporter Training

Meeting the Challenges Training

This is the 2nd day of the 2 day course taking place on 17th - 18th September 2022 with some limited indoor accommodation and options for camping with meals provided for those attending 

Leaders do not have to stay overnight, but please to aware that Saturday sessions will finish early evening (after the evening meal)

At the end of January 2017, a new training provision for Managers and Supporters in Scouting was introduced and is being rolled out in phases; in different parts of the UK. 

What does the scheme look like in practice?

The previous Manager/ Supporter modules are being replaced with more up to date resources, to better support our volunteers in these critical roles. The new training scheme will consist of: 

Getting Started - Essential Information, PLP and Tools for the Role (Managers and Supporters)

Training for All Appointments - Fundamentals of Scouting, Changes in Scouting, Scouting for All, First Aid, Administration, Delivering a Quality Programme

Managers and Supporters Training - This is structured around six core skill areas of leadership and management plus a module on safety. The learning opportunities for the Managers and Supporters Training is split into two elements:

  • Independent Learning - There are a number of independent learning modules to support managers and supporters. If you need to complete any of the three manager and supporter skills modules it is important to complete the independent learning required for each of the modules before attending. The skills modules rely on an understanding of this independent learning as a foundation for the learning.  The independent learning that supports each of the individual skills courses is noted below. If you wish for further advice please speak to your Training Adviser.

These independent learning modules are helpful as a refresher to those already in post - so if you are unsure of any of the topics or feel that a refresher would be helpful please don't hesitate to complete them.

  • Skills courses – this will consist of three courses (Skills of Management, Meeting the Challenges and Achieving Growth) where learners have an opportunity discuss and demonstrate different skills relating to leadership and management.

  • Describe their preferred leadership style and explain how this impacts on how they work with others.
