The Young
Leaders' Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in
the Explorer Scout section. All leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub
Scout and Scout Section who are between the ages of 14 and 18 must
be members of a Young Leaders Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who
choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to
service in another section.
The Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to
develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make
a valuable contribution to their community and give service to
others. The scheme also helps them fulfil the service elements of
their awards
We have set up a Young leader Unit within Wigan. The Unit will
be delivering both the Young Leader Training Modules as well as a
range of activities for the Young leaders to take part in.
All of the training and activities will count towards the awards
within the Explorer Scout Section.
Module 'A' Badge as seen above is awarded after the completion
of Module A - Prepare for Take Off of the
Young Leaders' Scheme. This Module is the only compulsory Module
and MUST be completed by ALL Young Leaders within
3 months of signing up to the Young Leaders' Scheme.
