Adult Training

Training is a key feature in supporting you in your Scouting role. It gives you the skills and the information to do the job, and it also gives parents confidence in caring for their children.

When you start the appointments process your role will be Pre-Provisional and move to Provisional when you have attended and passed an Appointments Advisory Committee (AAC). Pre-Provisional and Provisional Appointments allow an adult volunteer to start getting involved in their new role whilst completing the appointment process.

Within 5 months of your appointment you need to have done all of your Getting Started training and your role changes to full.
