Time flies...

As you can see, there hasn't been much activity on here in 2010. Sorry about that.

We now have a strengthened District Explorer team, which means the Young Leader scheme will be getting a much-needed boost.

Training is being planned for spring 2011, and there will also be 'mentoring' visits - to see all young leaders in action in their sections.

Don't forget, Ade is here to help all young leaders. If you've got any questions do get in touch (details on the right).

First Aid training option for 15th November

In addition to the module B, C, D, & G training being run at 1st Crowborough on Sunday 15 November, there is also the option to do a First Aid course (module K). This will take place at the same location, with the slightly earlier finish time of 3pm.

Again, let Ade know if you're interested.

Training Day - Sunday 15th November 2009

On Sunday 15th November, 10am-5pm, at 1st Crowborough HQ, we're having a training day covering the following modules:

B - Taking the lead
C - That's the way to do it!
D - Kids behaving badly
G - Programme plans

Participants will need to bring a packed lunch, but drinks and biscuits will be provided. The event is non-uniform.

If anyone has any questions, or would like to book a place, please contact Ade Morris (ESL - YL, Ashdown) on 07905 191814 or a.morris@supaworld.com

New Year - New Young Leaders

It's 2009 - in case any of you hadn't noticed. This year we'll be concentrating on getting more young leaders through the training programme, and ensuring that all young people who are working in sections know about the Hunt Unit.

If you know of anyone 14-17 working in Beavers, Cubs, or Scouts please let them know about the Unit.

Training - thoughts wanted

Anyone with ideas on how the YL training should be delivered?

Would weekends be better, or weekday evenings?

Should modules be delivered one at a time, or combined in a longer session?

Let Ade know...

Ashdown Young Leaders - Prepare for Take Off!

At long last - here we are - Ashdown District's very own Young Leader Unit.

Everyone aged 14-17 working in Ashdown District as a leader in a beaver colony, cub pack, or scout troop is automatically a member of the Hunt Unit. Most will already be registered with the Explorer Units - Avery, Mallory, or Tullis. If not, registration as a member of Scouting will be through the Hunt Unit.

Any questions, get in touch with Ade - the Explorer Scout Leader (Young Leader)
