Training for Leaders 2009-2010

A comprehensive Training Schedule is available if you click here

All leaders should make arrangements as soon as possible to book their next training course.  Please use the NEW provincial training form available at the link above.  Completed forms should be sent to Paul at present for processing.

Also, include the County Skills weekend in your diaries - 10/11 October in Kilaloe.  Let's aim for a good turn out this year.  Apart from learning, there is a great social dimension!

SQS 2008

Our Group has been awarded the SQS 'Quality Standard Award' for the year 2008.  Well done to all!  This is the 'mid-range' standard and identifies that we as a group are meeting most of the main standards in areas such as

  • Outdoor activities
  • Programme
  • Youth member awards

Areas we need to make effort in if we are to maintain this standard - or hopefully attain the 'award of excellence' are

  • Overnight activities - more of them
  • Leader training - more progress towards Woodbadge
  • Better attendance at county/provincial/national events and meetings
