National Group Scout Leader Workshops

We are committed to supporting Group Scout Leaders in their role and as a result you are invited to attend a Group Scout Leader workshop. There are a number of workshops being offered throughout England and Wales during 2008 and 2009. Currently the following dates are confirmed:

27/9/08 Wales National Group Scout Leader Workshop One - The Media Resource Centre, Oxford Road, Llandrindod Wells, LD1 6AH

28/9/08 South West Region Group Scout Leader Workshop One - Best Western Connaught Hotel, West Hill Road, West Cliff, Bournemouth, Dorset BH2 5PH

More dates will be announced as soon as they are confirmed. The purpose of the day is to inform and support Group Scout Leaders, a valued and important role in the management of local Scouting.

Practical support

As we are committed to offering practical and pragmatic support to Group Scout Leaders there is no delegate cost for the workshop plus lunch is provided. The day will begin with a lively and interactive session to seek feedback on specific aspects and functions of a Group Scout Leader's role, for example recruitment; induction; the review process. The feedback gained from this session will help inform the design and delivery of future support for Group Scout Leaders. Following this session there will be the opportunity to attend three smaller workshops. A total of six workshops will be offered to select from.

  • Role of the Group Scout Leader
  • Induction to review
  • Retention and motivation
  • Challenging behaviour in adults
  • Group development
  • Recruiting adults
