Resources created by leaders, for leaders.

Michael (Northern Ireland Commissioner for Explorers) and his team have put together the below resources for anyone to use. They have been designed for leaders to be able to deliver the Young Leader Training either remotely or Face-to-face. As a resource they are straight forward and easy to use. Most of the slides have speaker notes or cues on how to run the slide or activity within it.

Module D – Understanding Behaviour – There are a million different ways in which Young People behave and just as many reasons for it. In this module we will briefly look at some of those behaviours and what might be the reason for them. We will also equip you with a few strategies on how to deal with them.

Module F – Making Scouts accessible and inclusive – Scouting should be available to and enjoyed by everyone. In this module we will look at some of the additional needs that our Young People may have and how we can support them.

Module I – What did they say? – In Module J we learnt about communication out to people, now we’re going to learn about when they respond to us. We will cover different techniques on collection feedback and why that is important and how to process it.
