The Scout Association’s Young Leaders’ Scheme is a unique, challenging and unforgettable opportunity to step out into leadership, volunteering with Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. It offers you an amazing chance to learn leadership skills, gain experience and confidence, and help others to learn and enjoy themselves.  It is valuable preparation for all sorts of careers and is a great boost for your CV, helping you get ahead with further and higher education applications and future employment.

Young Leaders are aged between 14 and 18 and work alongside adult leaders to ensure that young people really get the chance to shape their own Scouting adventures.  You can be a Young Leader in a Beaver Scout Colony, Cub Scout Pack or Scout Troop.

Below you will find South Ribble District’s Young Leader Process and also all the documents you need to help and support the Young Leaders gain their Young Leader Badge.
