LEARNING

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 learning activities. 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.

Scouts Adult learning is personalised, flexible and accessed primarily through volunteer’s login. You can get the support of a learning assessor who will answer questions and check off your learning where needed. Its focus is on developing adults to be active and effective and feel confident. And to enjoy what they are doing.

In Dorset, we support the learning by running courses locally and directing people to workbooks

In Dorset, we support the learning by trainer validation and requesting course feedback

 

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.
