Skills Day

Date: 18th October 2025 Location: Forest Camp Activity Centre Sections: Adult Volunteer

Come along and have some fun enhancing your practical skills as a Leader which will aid you in delivering even better programmes for your Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts.  This is an ideal day of learning for new leaders of every section and Module 18 will be validated on the day. It is also a way of completing some of your on-going learning (15 hours over 3 years).

You will have the opportunity to attend 7 sessions from all the skills bases on offer. Each skills base will run 45 minute sessions throughout the day and will be timed as below:

Morning Afternoon
08.50 Arrival/Registration/Collection of Personal Timetable and Refreshments (provided)  13.15 – 14.00 Lunch (remember to bring your own)

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, but you will need to bring your own lunch.

Each leader will be given their individual training programme for the day which you will hand to the instructor at the start of each session;  this will be initialled and returned at the end of each session. Each leader who attends this event will be required to complete the “Understanding the new digital system” session and this will be included in your programme timetable.

These completed cards will then be passed to your Local Training Manager to confirm validation of Module 18 (where required).

No uniform is required. Please dress appropriately for the activities and the weather.

Closing day: 3rd October 2025 or 120 places booked, whichever the sooner.

This day is provided for Cheshire adult volunteers free of charge, however if you book and do not attend a £5 fee will be applied and be payable.

Looking forward to seeing you at this event.
