East Grinstead District Scouts

What is the Young Leaders’ Scheme?

The Young Leader scheme is an ongoing programme of training, designed to enable Young Leaders to work effectively in the Section that they choose.

Who can take part in the scheme?

Explorer Scouts aged between 14 to 18 years can become Young Leaders. They can help in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout, and Scout Sections. Young Leaders are still Explorer Scouts and are encouraged to take part in the Balanced Programme provided by their District. They are also members of the District Young Leaders Unit.

Why do Explorer Scouts become Young Leaders?

Explorer Scouts become Young Leaders to:
* gain the knowledge, skills and confidence required to become an effective Leader
* further their own personal development
* work towards other Awards for example Duke of Edinburgh
* acquire the skills that are needed for the Adult Training Scheme
* have fun!
It is important to remember that these young people have the potential to be the Leaders of the future.
