Managing Time and Personal Skills

Managing Time and Personal Skills is one of the six core skills for Managers and Supporters in Scouting.

Objectives

  • Agree realistic goals and targets with their line manager for the development of local Scouting that work towards The Scout Association’s strategic objectives.
  • Consider the future requirements of their role then identify the skills and knowledge that they need to develop or improve and the steps they will follow to do so.    
  • Regularly check how they use their time and identify possible improvements so that they focus on the goals and priorities that they have agreed with the relevant line manager.    
  • Ask other adult volunteers for feedback about how they carry out their role and act on it.    
  • Keep up to date and in touch with developments in Scouting generally.
