Training for adults
Training for adults
Adult volunteers are at the heart of Scouting, and we hope that you will get every bit as much out of it as you put in. Scouting is not only about young people, but also about the development of adults within the Movement.
To support adults in Scouting, the Association provides a comprehensive programme of training to build on existing skills and knowledge and develop new competencies. Some elements of training can count towards externally-recognised qualifications, and within the movement there are also awards to recognise dedication to training and outstanding service.
Introduction to Scouting

Scouts from across the world
Even if we can't solve all the problems in the world, we can help to make it a better place. Scouting makes a positive contribution to society by helping young people to develop as active members of the community:
who are self reliant
who are caring
who are responsible
who show commitment
Scouting works well when young people enjoy learning by working in partnership with adults. They do this by:
taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences
exploring the outdoors
participating in teams
taking responsibility.
Our method for giving young people the opportunity to learn by doing is called the Programme. The programme is a continuous progression of training, activities and awards that covers everything that young people do in Scouting from the age of 6 to 25.
Our Commitment as Adults in Scouting
Our Commitment as Adults in Scouting
In Scouting, our adults have a responsibility to make sure that the programme is fun and exciting. We must also make sure that it is safe. The Scout Association's policies, rules, code of behaviour, advice on Child Protection and safety policy are there to ensure our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.

Scout Promise
Scout Promise
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God and to the King, To help other people and to keep the Scout Law
Why is the Promise important?
Why is the Promise important?
The Promise is a simple way to help young people and adults keep the Fundamentals of Scouting in mind. The Promise is the commitment made by all Members as they join Scouting, promising to share the values of Scouting. It is therefore vital that every Member considers the Promise, and discusses its meaning before making the Promise and being invested into Scouting.
The promise is also available for different faiths and none - talk to your Group Scout Leader for help on selecting the right promise for you.

Structure of Scouting
Structure of Scouting
The administrative structure of The Scout Association enables the effective delivery of the Programme. It is organised at four levels:
The Scout Group
The Scout District (our district is Falkes)
The Scout County or Area (our county is Bedfordshire)
National Headquarters (Gilwell Park HQ)
In many ways, each level operates independently and each ‘unit’ in is a charity in its own right. The larger units provide facilities, activities and support beyond the resources of the smaller ones. See the diagram below for how the structure fits together.
