Training

Adult volunteers are at the heart of Scouting, and we hope that you will get out of it, every bit as much as you put in.

Scouting is not only about young people, but also about the development of our 3000+ adults in Dorset. This happens as we scout and through training. Don’t think of it as daunting, scouting is about teamwork and we’re there to support you every step of the way. This is your adventure.

The training scheme is personalised, flexible and about learning by doing. Its focus is on developing adults to be active and effective as leaders, managers and supporters. And to enjoy what they are doing.

Let’s start:

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
