Further Learning Opportunities

Hampshire Scouts run a comprehensive training programme. As part of this they run many training days throughout the year. These can be evenings or whole weekends, and by attending one of these courses will give you all the skills you require to validate your training. 

 

If you follow the link below it will take you the Hampshire Scouts Website. Here you can see all the upcoming course dates and book yourself on. 

 

I strongly recommend these courses. They are delivered in  a way that enables you to link in with other Scouters from across county, meet some of the County team, but most importantly is you will get a perspective and hear experiences from members of Scouting from outside the group. This enables us to continue to grow and continually develop to give the best that we can to the young people of Gosport. 

 

There is also a link to the programme planning tool below. This is a really useful tool and I strongly encourage you to have a look.
