Adult Training

Adult training is done either online or Face to Face, or via Zoom.

Step 1: Check the training requirements for your role

Training modules that you need to complete depend on the volunteer role that you are taking on. Click on a link below

Step 2: Complete your Personal Learning Plan with your Training Adviser

We know that many Scout volunteers have prior learning which they can apply to their Scouts role. Meet with your Training Adviser and complete your Personal Learning Plan together, recognising your previous experience.

Your Training Adviser will be able to help you identify the modules when you discuss your Personal Learning Plan​ . Contact info@midlothianscouts.org.uk to be appointed one.

Step 3: Complete your training modules

Work through the mandatory and role specific modules for all volunteers and discover your ongoing learning requirements and supplementary modules. To complete your Wood Badge training you need to complete the modules within training for all appointments.
