Quick links

We want all our volunteers to have the skills and knowledge they need to feel confident to help keep young people safe and help them gain skills for life.

We'll be organising learning at Scouts in what we call the Learning Tree. It'll be made up of Growing Roots, learning that's personalised to you and needs to be done within your first six months as a volunteer, and Branching Out, the learning you can access to further develop your skills and knowledge. 

Access to this learning and progress tracking will be available once your County gains access to the new digital learning tool on scouts.org.uk. 

This interactive graphic of our Learning Tree is a great way to start exploring what Growing Roots will be about. Or you can check out the Growing Roots webpage if you'd prefer. 

The Branching Out learning is being developed, but you can see what it might look like in the future on the Learning Tree. We'll add more content and information as it becomes available.
