About The Scheme
The Young Leaders' Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section. All leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Section who are between the ages of 14 and 18 must be members of a Young Leaders Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to service in another section.

The Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give service to others. The scheme also helps them fulfil the service elements of their awards.
Why do Explorer Scouts become Young Leaders?
Explorer Scouts become Young Leaders to:

• Gain the knowledge, skills and confidence required to become an effective Leader
• Further their own personal development
• Work towards other Awards for example Duke of Edinburgh
• Acquire the skills that are needed for the Adult Training Scheme
• Have fun!
• It is important to remember that these young people have the potential to be the Leaders of the future

Should you support the scheme?
Young Leaders partake in a voluntary training scheme comprising a number of modules and project work. Examples of these include Programme Planning and First Aid. All Explorer Scouts are awarded Certificates of Achievement for participation in a Balanced Programme (like the Joining-in Award). They may also gain this certificate for their involvement in special projects, which may include being a Young Leader in a Section.
As a Sectional Leader you may be asked to sign off various elements of Awards that the young person is working towards or provide evidence for qualifications, such as NVQ's.
