THEADVENTURE

LEAD

What would I need to do?

But I don’t have the knowledge to do that…

How will I pay for it? It sounds like it would cost a lot…

Depending on the activity, you could try:

Ȕ Informally shadowing or supporting instructors, or those in roles such as Assistant County Commissioner (Activities).

Ȕ Gaining a National Governing Body (NGB) qualification in a specific outdoor activity (such as BCU qualifications).

Ȕ Gaining a Scouting permit to lead an activity (such as archery or dinghy sailing). Ȕ Becoming a Duke of Edinburgh Supervisor or Assessor (scouts.org.uk/dofetraining).

You have more knowledge than you realise. All that you’ve learnt while doing your activities will help you to support others.

There are a number of funding and grant options. For more information on the following, please visit the web links below:
