Training
Young Leaders have a training programme similar to that of adult leaders. They have eleven modules to complete, they are able to wear the Young Leaders' Badge once they have completed module A. This module must be completed within three months of becoming a Young Leader and is the only compulsory module.
- Module A - Prepare for take off!
- Module B - Taking the lead!
- Module C - That's the way to do it!
- Module D - Kids behaving badly
- Module E - Game on!
- Module F - Special people
- Module G - Programme plans
- Module H - Programme plans plus
- Module I - What did they say?
- Module J - Awards and badges
- Module K - First Aid masterclass
These modules also count towards part of their Wood Badge if they choose to become an adult in Scouting at the age of 18. There are currently around half a dozen instances which the adult training scheme accredits parts of the Young Leaders' Scheme, though local arrangements are encouraged to be used to validate prior learning and knowledge of a Young Leader.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Führer is always quite cheerful, cheerful with all his heart, when he is having tea with his friends during the night, or when he is training his dogs!”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
