Adult Training in Chorley Scouts

Adult volunteers are at the heart of Scouting and we hope that you will get every bit as much out of it as you put in. Scouting is respected world wide for the quality and depth of its training programme.

Chorley District and the West Lancashire County Training team provide a comprehensive programme of training to build on and enhance your skills and knowledge. Some elements of training can count towards externally recognised qualifications while others help build confidence and develop you as a person.  Our aim is to get all adults through their basic training within 2 years of joining . Then they will be presented with our Wood Beads, a symbol of your training handed down from  Baden Powell

An introduction to the adult training scheme can be found in the Adult Personal File. You can find out about each of the modules the learner resources available to support them. You will also be given a training adviser from your District to help guide you through your training.

In addition, the West Lancs Scouts website has a listing of all training requirements for all roles. You can check out all the courses for Managers and Supporters Training, as well as section roles.
