Training Team

We have 2,300 adult volunteers in Leicestershire, who are as much a part of Scouting’s Adventure as the Young People.

These adults receive support in many ways, one of them is by the Training Scheme whose focus is on developing them to be active and effective as leaders, managers and supporters. And to enjoy what they are doing.

On taking up your appointment, we will  allocate you a Training Adviser (TA). They are part of the County Training Team and will be someone with experience of scouting or someone who’s just finished their training. Locally, people are matched up, by the Local Training Manager (LTM).

Each District has a Local Training Manager. They support the local TA’s and keep the managers in the district informed and work with any issues they raise. They liaise with the appointments committee and with the wider training team.

Another key group of people you’ll meet is the Trainers. They deliver the courses across the county, offer guidance and inspiration, and share their knowledge with you.

The whole training team is managed by Paul Wren, our County Training Manager.
