Our Training Calendar
In Somerset we have 1,500 adult volunteers who get as much out of Scouting as they put in. Scouting is not only about young people, but also about the development of adults within the Movement.
To support adults in Scouting, the Association provides a comprehensive programme of training to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies. Some elements of training can count towards externally recognised qualifications or membership to professional bodies such as the Institute of Leadership & Management.
The Somerset County Training Team provides quality training opportunities through its team of dedicated volunteers. Their roles are not only to deliver or facilitate the training but provide guidance and support throughout the learning journey.
