Ongoing Learning

Safety Training

Doing things safely is fundamental to everything we do in Scouting. The Safety training ensures that you understand your responsibilities for keeping everyone in Scouts safe and how to assess and manage risk. It's important that Safety training is completed within the first five months of your role start date (as recorded on Compass) and then kept up to date. It is required to be renewed every three years. It’s independent learning, so you don’t have to attend a course to complete it. 

Safeguarding Training

As adults in Scouts, the safety of young people is our priority. The Safeguarding training ensures that you understand how to keep young people and adults safe in Scouts and includes how to recognise abuse and report concerns. It's important that Safeguarding training is completed within the first five months of your role start date (as recorded on Compass) and then kept up to date. It is required to be renewed every three years. It’s independent learning, so you don’t have to attend a course to complete it.

Getting Started Training

To support you in your first five months of volunteering with the Scouts we have a number of training modules for you to complete. The modules that make up your getting started training are listed below (You can complete these in any order):

The following modules can be completed as independent learning and validated by successfully completing the online assessment at the end of the module.

The modules that you need to complete depend on the role that you are taking on. To find out the modules you need, visit Appointments: Table 2 which lists all of our roles and the appointment requirements.

Modular Training

During your Getting Started training, you will complete a personal learning plan which details any other training requirements for your role.

• The scheme modular covering the different development areas.
• It is a national scheme, so the training you complete in one place will be recognised in another.
• There are two parts to each of these modules: learning and validation.
• Some of the learning elements of modules can be completed online.

Please speak with your Training Advisor to validate the learning and update your training record.
