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 want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.”
—Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)
“It’s [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
