LEADER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES 2011 - 2012 Print

 LEADER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

The Training Team have found it necessary to impose a closing date for course applications to enable them to ensure that the necessary level of resources are available for those attending each course. Leaders should send their application and money to arrive at least 4 weeks before the course

This is an update on the Training Courses available to Leaders.
Please apply for courses as soon as possible to avoid them being cancelled. Applications for any
of the courses listed below should be put in now. Dates for 2012 are on the Regional website
http://www.scouts-southwestscotland.org.uk/ .

Skills Days / Module 17,18,19
Three skills days were planned which would cover modules 17,18 and 19 for leaders doing their
training modules. We hope that leaders who have completed their training will also come and pick
up some good ideas at the various bases as these skills days are not just for leaders doing their training.
