Training at Gilwell Park
Training Diary - 2008
The Training Programme on offer for 2007 aims to meet the needs of all Leaders and Trainers. There is a course available for most appointments and you are very welcome to join us.
The courses at Gilwell offer a unique experience, you will be able to network with other people in similar roles from all over the United Kingdom and receive the latest information relevant to your Scouting role from people directly involved in the development of national policy.
Programmes are designed to cover all the modules relevant to your role in Scouting. This means that in a course you can cover all of the learning necessary for your Wood Badge or other training requirements. As well as meeting your training needs, you will benefit from the knowledge and experience of the course staff; they will also be able to advise you on the validation of the modules to aid your discussions with your Training Adviser when you return home.
We are always looking at ways of improving the programme of courses we offer. If you have any comments or suggestions that could help us to meet your training needs we would like to hear them. Please contact the Adult Support office by email: adult.support@scout.org.uk or by telephone: 020 8433 7136
