Residential Experiences (16) Practical Skills (18) and International (19) CANCELLED

During 2024, much of the adult training scheme for Section Team members will move online (elearning).  However six modules have yet to be digitalised – and we are running these as face to face sessions for those wishing to complete the Wood Badge.  We have indicated the time of each session below, and if you plan to only attend for one or two, please name them in the notes on the application form.

Introduction to Residential Experiences (M16) (9.00 – 10.40)

Aim

An overview of the role of residential experiences for young people in Scouting, and their organisation and planning.

Topics covered

• The role of residential experiences in the development of young people
• Organisation and administration of residential experiences
• Skills required within a team running a residential experience
• The Nights Away Permit Scheme
• Support and further information for planning a residential experience

Please note that the nights away permit scheme is operated separately from the Adult Training Scheme. If you wish to achieve a Nights Away Permit, you will be required to complete additional training and assessment separately from the completion and validation of this module but this is a very useful first step.
