I’m a New Leader But Where Do I Start??
As a new leader in Scouting you will start your adult training by undertaking the modules which we refer to as the ‘Getting Started’. These modules are Module 1, 2 & 3 for Section Leaders or 4 for Managers and GDPR. Executive Committee members need to only complete Module 1E and GDPR.
