Scouting Transformation
Scouting has been and will continue to modernise and as part of this the Volunteering experience is being changed and updated. Most of these changes are designed to help the Scouting volunteers and ensure we offer a modern movement going forward.
​
There is many updates and changes ahead, although these should not directly effect front line Scouting it will hopefully in the long term improve volunteer recruitment and training options.
​
As part of these changes our volunteers are being restructured into specific teams, which is designed to enable the sharing of work loads and tasks, and much greater flexibility. Although at 1st Colchester we are a close team already, we hope these changes can be used to help our volunteers.

Training Updates & Restructure
As part of these changes the training all our leaders undergo, is going to be refreshed and updated. The idea of this restructure will be to enable a clear path towards achieving the training goals, as well as easy access to online training for some of the aspects.
​
The new system will allow for specific training as needed on top of the basics, that all leaders work towards over time. If you would like to know more please feel free to speak to the leader team, as details become avaliable we will outline it below.
