More about Module A
Completing Module A This is the only compulsory module. All Young Leaders MUST complete Module A
within 3 months of joining the Young Leaders Unit. It is the responsibility of the ESL(YL) to make sure that Module A is offered often enough for this to happen. This is important because it covers key areas,
which every Young Leader will need to know:
• The Purpose and Method of the Scout Association • Child protection • Policy, Organisation and Rules • Activity rules and safety
